R U FOR CONVENIENCE OR PRACTICALITY?

SHE WRITES:


There are 2 kinds of train going to Shanghai from our place, the fast train and the regular train. The regular train takes an hour, people inside are smoking, very crowded but costs only 13RMB (about US$2). The fast train however takes 45 minutes, people are not smoking, not so crowded as each one has a reserved seat but cost 35RMB (approximately US$5). My husband prefers the regular train because the time difference is not that big and he's more concerned of the cost. So that qualifies him for the practicality side. On the other hand, my friend Cathy prefers the fast train because it's more convenient - she can sit well and it's really clean. There was even a time that she paid for our ticket just so we all ride the fast train and not the regular train. I'm more of an in-between person. Sometimes I'm practical but other times, it makes sense choosing convenience.


How about you? Are you for convenience or practicality?


YOU WRITE: (please read comments portion for the FULL version of the comments posted)

A. convenience
garbo: I am a flexible person.But if I were to choose, I'd rather go for convenience. I belive that things around us were invented and improved to make life more convenient.
onchie: I would prefer convenience in this situation. I think the pros outweighed the cons. As a non-smoker, I would rather pay more, than sacrifice my health.

B. practicality

C. others (pls. specify)
lee: I'm a mix, too. I decide on a case by case basis.
