MY FIRST TRAIN RIDE IN BELGIUM ALONE

I just like to share about my first train ride in Belgium alone.


I would like to share about it because I hope it helps others and I just had a laugh about it.



Actually, there were only two other people in the train.

I was about to go out of the train. For other trains, there are usually so many people and I felt the train door opens automatically. Then, I go together with the rest of the pack.

This time, I was the only one going out. I stare at the door and wait for the door to open.... and it does not!
There were instructions but of course, all the words were in Dutch! (so this is how it feels to be illiterate!)

So I went back to the train coach and asked help from the person there and asked which button to push!




It should be the GREEN button!!! (I was actually confused earlier!)

Now looking at the picture, I can see that GREEN means OPEN.
While the YELLOW button means CLOSE as per the diagram.
But at that time, I did not see that! So there was just a tinge of panic since I heard the door closes in a few minutes and I guess that blinded me!

Well, seems like a simple problem but I actually was also amused! 

So, I just wanted to share you this story!

Can you relate ?
