A hard seat on an overnight train= no sleep!
Saturday, July 05, 2014
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
We came to Guangzhou from Guilin on a hard seat overnight train. We knew it was going to possibly be our worst journey in China to date, and it didn't disappoint. For the first two hours, it was lovely. We had a whole six seats to ourselves and we even watched a movie. However it's when the whole train got filled up at just one stop and on our six seater, there were now nine people. Some mothers got on with all their kids, so we had hardly any room for the rest of the night. Needless to say, we didn't get any sleep. We saw an amazing sunrise and a few hours later, we arrived a little delirious into Guangzhou.
