First Ride to Train again! #16 (120) It's almost four years since my last ride on PNR (PHILIPPINES NATIONAL RAILWAYS) but still, the fare is the same at 20php only! A lot of improvement in PNR this time, not the same before. It's air-conditioned, has nice sits and it's s much better than before, with less noise too!

After we pay for our ticket, we wait for the train to arrive, before we enter the waiting area, the security guard check our vaccination card and valid id then check our bag and temperature too. We sit in the chair with the policy of KEEP SOCIAL DISTANCING! They are so strict checking every passenger's vaccination card and proper use and wear of mask too.

When the PNR (PHILIPPINES NATIONAL RAILWAYS) arrived, we enter inside and it surprised me that so different from the train I'd known before! It's all-new, the sits are amazing and air-conditioned too. The loud noise inside the train lessen too and have enough seats for every passenger. Not as crowded as I have seen before.

It's so different, feel comfortable and clean. More secure unlike before, the PNR MARSHALL always roamed on the train to make sure everyone using their face mask properly. It's all new and you feel safe but still, it's in our part too to be secure and safe.

There is 14 station from Bicutan to Tutuban, the place is more different from before, the street vendors put in one place called NIGHT MARKET, all they sell are cheaper than the mall, the sidewalk is not as crowded as before.

The Divisoria is cleaner than before. The streets are clean too, I miss to roamed around but yet need to have self-discipline, follow government protocols for our safety.

Before you enter the train station, there's a lot of checking, your vaccination card and a valid ID then you need to fill up a small form for your information and destination too, check your things and temperature.

It took more than an hour before we reach our destination, it was already 7:20 pm when we reach SM BICUTAN and almost the mall closing. I don't know that the new timing of the malls closing is earlier than I think. We eat our dinner in McDonald's and to my surprise, the nearby stores started to close and switch off their lights 😅 we go out to the mall around 8 pm I guess and the guards closed the entrance door. Oh my, it's an unexpected experience, a lot of things changed by the pandemic!

****Life changed but must go on, there's no permanent in this world, unexpected happened but we need to live on. We need to fight every battle we encountered and accept the fact that this is life 🥰🥰🥰**** **January 26, 2022 Wednesday** **Philippines time: 11:30 AM** **All photos are captured by me unless stated otherwise** **Lead image at Unsplash.com** **Sending of friendship,** @Sweetiepie **❤❤❤**
