Sleeper train from Xian to Shanghai

This was at the station. The line is huge!!!!


We are all literally jam packed in line. Gosh I can't stand this. China is just too crazy. Every time the security would let another 10-15 more people through everyone would shove forward... And i mean shove! It was just insane and makes no sense because it is so uncomfortable but it's like everything is a race in China!



In the station. My train was delayed an hour. Here's what I had to look at... They do this a lot. Another thing I just shake my head at.


So when I finally get in and am in line boarding my train, all of a sudden I get nailed in the back and whiplash hard! I look back and it is a worker pushing a big garbage can cart and yelling at me to move. I could have killed this guy. Who just nails someone in the back?!?!

On the night train I caught a break. The people in my room were awesome. The one guy spoke in very broken English. He is on the left.


I bet we spoke for 2-3 hours. It was cool to hear him improve. We spoke another few hours in the morning. I recorded these two guys and the woman above my bunk talking and plate it for my parents and family on voxer. They were a great group. They helped me understand the madness of Chinese culture and many other things. I loved talking with these people, I needed it so bad because I was not thrilled with China up to this point. It was a patience testing conversation because only the one guy spoke a little English.
They taught me some commonly used things in Chinese, they especially liked when i said, Zaijian, Bau Chong! Which means goodbye, take care. Everytime i said it they laughed and giggled. Whats so funny? Haha just kidding. they fed me and maked me feel at home. So grateful for the good people that are out there. These guys were all awesome!

Train passing the Yangtze River. One of the biggest rivers in the world!






Passing the city of Nanjing. Couldn't help but think of the Nanjing Massacre and how awful that was!


Yep, that's where I am.


Woman in bunk above me had cool kicks!





Well... That's that. Still want to hunt down the back slammer. A simple excuse me would be good. Who slams an innocent bystander in the back with a cart?!?! Moron.
