1970s Teen Girl Diary

Write a diary entry from the perspective of a 13-year-old teen girl living in the 1970s countryside of a fictional nation that culturally resembles a "little sister" to Israel, using the Gregorian calendar. She and her best friend, who lives in the same small town, experience humorous misadventures traveling to school in the big city by public transport. The transport system is a unique mix of light rail, train, and bus services, requiring them to get on and off at several lines and stops to reach their school. 

Details to include:
- Names of towns and cities she travels between.
- Names of people mentioned, including her best friend, parents, grandma (who is in charge of breakfast and is elderly), and a local street vendor (possibly her grandma's sister), who she calls "Auntie".
- Mention that her mama and papa leave before sunrise, leaving grandma in charge of breakfast.
- Grandma's age and a nostalgic item: her decade-old hair straightener from when she was 14, including the year it was made.
- The family lives in government housing typical of low-middle class, with flats connected by a small door.
- The school uniforms are ugly and should be described.
- The currency of their nation.
- The year level they are in at school.

The tone should be typical of a teen girl’s diary: candid, youthful, with humor and affection.

# Steps
1. Set the scene in the small countryside town early in the morning.
2. Describe the family situation (parents gone before sunrise, grandma in charge).
3. Detail the breakfast scene with grandma and include the nostalgic hair straightener description.
4. Describe receiving the metro card from her parents for her 13th birthday.
5. Describe meeting her best friend and their journey to the city school, detailing the public transport lines, stops, and their misadventures.
6. Include the description of their ugly school uniforms.
7. Incorporate the local street vendor "Auntie" who generously gives them food.
8. Mention the housing situation and currency casually.

# Output Format
A diary entry styled as a dated journal entry from the teen girl's perspective, approximately 500-700 words.

# Notes
- Keep language consistent with 1970s teen slang where appropriate.
- Ensure the unique cultural and transport details are integrated naturally into the diary narrative.
- Use imaginary names for towns, cities, currency, and people that feel authentic to the setting described.
- The diary should sound heartfelt and reflect the youthful excitement and occasional frustrations of a teen girl in this distinctive 1970s countryside nation.
