The train was at 8:05am/8am so I woke up at 7am. For me that was so early. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I finished I saw the time was 7:35am it was very late so I was rushing/running to the railway station. I quickly ran to catch the train which I almost missed. The train took 1 hour 37 minutes/1 hour and a half to arrive at the Hangzhou Railway Station. I took the bus to my home for 1 hour 15 minutes. My mom cooked lunch for us. After, my dad took me to a government office/building to make a birth certificate to get married. When I finished, my daddy picked me up to take me to the Hangzhou bus station to go to the Hangzhou Railway Station.
