Introducing myself with a Train: THE ORIENT EXPRESS

Hello everyone! After a couple of weeks spent learning how SG works, I'm here in order to introduce myself properly. I see that this nice community likes trains, thus creating one seemed the best way to do it. I also want to build a nice train, to celebrate the fact that this autumn I will start my PhD fellowship in Physics!!! :D And finally I will start to have a budget :P

Well, getting back to trains... I really like going on holidays and traveling by trains, this is a kind of journey that has a special charm, especially on some particular routes. You can see amazing landscapes passing by, and meet different people.
The Orient Express is on my holidays-to-do-list: it crosses so many different lands and cultures, it really stimulates my imagination. But maybe I'm also influenced by the book written by Agatha Christie.
What do you think about trains? Do you like them? Did you have any interesting/adventurous experience traveling around the world? Is there any route you totally advise to take?

Here is the link to the train. I hope you'll enjoy it!
