Eurailpass and Youth Hostel at that time had age limit? Say for youth under age 26? 
Due to the fact that I’d got a job in the Vienna Hilton at the later part of my stay in Vienna, I was not entitled to buy a student ticket. I’d then got no alternatives but to get an adult one, which was a bit expensive.
It was not that bad, though, as I’d save a lot by fully utilizing the benefits that came with the 1st Class ticket and treat the car of the train as a sleep wagon, learned from other experienced backpackers.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to tell you some tricks in playing the game of “Sleep Wagon”. The first thing you need to do when boarding a 3 to 4 hours journey train is to find an empty compartment, quickly shut the sliding door, pull down the curtain and switch off the lights. Then, slide down all those seats (6 seats, 3 in a row, facing opposite with each other) and convert them into a twin bed.
Whenever you hear anybody sliding the door open, don’t move, keep on sleeping like a dead body, they’ll then slide the door back to the shut position for you and turn away in a second. You don’t need to worry about if he’d get a seat or not because 1st Class train is quite expensive if not travelling with an Eurailpass, and not much people can afford it except those executives travelling on business, thus he’d easily find one at the end of the day. Besides, not much people would like to travel at night on a 1st Class train with such a short journey. 
I tell you what! You’d get lots of funs and satisfactions from such a game of “Sleep Wagon”, particularly when you're enjoying a nice meal in a restaurant or café the next day, thinking about the money for the bill you’re going to pay comes from what you have saved from not going to the Youth Hostel or B & B last night.
