... town centre, we had no idea where we were and how we could get to the train station. So we needed to take a taxi which costed 10 yuan in total (everything was so cheap in rural China). Since we were delayed for so long, it was a bit of rush for us to sort out our train tickets. At the real time display board it showed that there was only standing tickets left, but luckily, since we were stopping at SiPing rather than Beijing, there are ...

... höghus klädda i neon och konstverk i vaggor av marmor. Vi stannar på en liten butik i en av tullbyggnaderna och får genast smaka på de kinesiska priserna. Allt är i princip gratis. De sista av vår ryska valör lägger vi på mat, frukt och kinesiskt brännvin med konserverade ormar och örter i.
