We finally made it to the car we had to stand in. There were people sitting in their seats, and standing in the aisles. It was sooo crowded!! I guess Asians don't care how crowded it gets, as long as they get their money they are happy.
I found a spot to stand next to a ton of old people, and this Italian guy. It was a 5 hour train ride. Bleh!!! You better believe I sat on that floor. My feet and body were killing from hiking and running! It was so disgusting and I had to get out of the aisle because people had to walk through and the carts with food needed to pass.
So freaking annoying and I'm pretty sure the Italian guy never wants to go to the United States because I was so crazy hyper and now he thinks all Americans are crazy:)
We made friends with some people who are actually English teachers up in Beijing. Praise the heavens because they helped us with a lot of things to get us to the next train station. Writing everything in Mandarin helps so much it's not even funny. After talking to the cutest people ever we got some more pics with them and played games. It was a long 5 hours but it was fun.
Long story short, we arrived in Changsha and needed to print our tickets for today. Abi stood in line for more than an hour, witnessed an almost out of control fight, and made it. 1:30 a.m and we had to find a taxi to take us to the other train station across town. We didn't want to spend the money to stay in a hostel so we slept at the train station. Yes, you heard me. I fell asleep on the floor (shocking, I know) then ended up in a little ball on the chairs. I slept like a baby too! We had to wake up at 6 and go through security since the train station wasn't even open. Now it's 7:30 and I'm pooped! May or may not pass out now. We've had long days and nights this trip.
loves.
