The next 20+ hours

Will be spent in this train. For the bribe of a beer, the conductor has agreed to find me a spare cabin for myself as long as something is available.

There are six cars, I accidentally ended up in first class. Having walked past the other cabins, I am pleased greatly by this.

At my hostel I ended up chatting extensively with a guy who moved to Hong Kong. Guess the percent that is urban he said. 5% I ventured, seeing it to be a trick question. He seemed impressed. Closer to twenty he told me. He gave me lots of hikes and biking trails that I should explore and took my name down to pass onto a friend who if in town can share the plans for a trip they did to some areas in rural china, supposedly beautiful. I am very excited to immerse into a completely different culture. I only wish I had a camera that could really capture everything, slr ideally.

Train travel is definitely growing on me.
