But first I have to enter via Zurich on the 28th March. Then maybe two days in Switzerland. Then either take a 30hr + rail trip to Bucharest(Romania) via Vienna(no layover however). Then back track to Budapest, then to Vienna, then maybe Prague, and I will then have to proceed to Munich to come back to Singapore.

Now I thinking of cutting Bucharest from the schedule... Just too far from the nearest Eastern European capital(Budapest) coming from Zurich.
Thinking of taking the EuroNight(EN) train from Zurich HB to Budapest Keleti pu instead. Then backtrack to Vienna(second time again, quite boring actually), then Bratislava, then Prague...

There is always the CNL(CityNightLine)
But that one then I will have to route from Zurich HB to Praha(Prague). Then take the train southwards down to Wien(Vienna) and then to Budapest.

Be very careful when you are traveling at night. These countries are not like Singapore.
I may be going to Varna mid March if I can apply for leave.

Ooooh.
Oh btw Bucharest(Romania) has officially been cut out of my itinerary. Too far off, even from Budapest(Hungary)...

Ok my this Euro Trip is confirmed.
Flying to ZRH Zurich on the morning of the 28th of March. Reach ZRH at 8a.m local time.
Depending on how I clear immigration(time), I will either head for the 9.28a.m train to Bregenz where I can swiftly connect to an onward train to Vienna. However, I would need to buy the ticket and this takes time, potentially skewering this journey.
Should this fail, I will take my time at the airport to take some photos of planes at Zurich airport, then buy an S-bahn ticket to Zurich Hauptbahnhof by 1p.m. Then buy a sector and reserve from Zurich HB to Feldkirch(the Austrian border station), after which I can use my Eurail East Europe Pass to access 1st class onboard the train(with an optional upgrade to Premier Class for €25).
Should reach Vienna West train station by night. First night gao dim.
Second day, day trip to Graz from Vienna Melding station, and back to Vienna by night. Also gao dim liao.
Third day, go to the South train station of Vienna, and take 2nd class to Bratislava. Day trip, back to Vienna by night. This day I won't use the Pass(due to date restriction).
Fourth morning, go to Vienna West station, take the Railjet(with compulsory reservation) to Budapest Keleti-pu. Check in. Spend two nights there.
