[RTS] Sat on MRT Floor

April 30, 2010.  It was a Friday night.  We just got paid.  Aly and Chica, my co-interns, had waffles for dinner at Flapjacks in Glorietta.  Throw in a couple of margaritas and say we had an awesome Friday night out.  We decided to call it a night around 9 PM so we could still get home using the train.

Ayala MRT station.  Past 9 o'clock.  The crowds have gone home and we didn't have to wait for 600 trains to arrive before we could board.  We were far from bored.  Just a little bit tired from work, I guess.  We got in the first train compartment that arrived in the station.  Most seats were already occupied, but the compartment wasn't as crowded as it was a few hours ago.  In fact, it wasn't crowded at all.  And we took advantage of that when we decided to sit down on the floor.  But we got up after 4 stations when the compartment started accumulating more people.

It was a great experience overall.  You don't get to sit on the seats of the MRT as often as you should, but when you do, you're usually alone.  It's hard to find space to accommodate more than 1 person.  But we did the impossible, my friends and I.  The 3 of us were able to sit on the MRT.  Just not on the chairs.
