Overnight Train Ride to Xian
It was very similar to the overnight bus from Okayama to Tokyo that I have taken a few times now. Except for the fact that the I had a bed, ate lunch, and experienced a much bumpier ride on the train. My brother Muir and I had two Chinese roommates on the train who were probably in their 50s and could not speak any English. I spent most of my time reading a book called The Tipping Point that I just finished today and started about 1 week ago. Almost everyday I have time to read and study Japanese. The train had both western style and squatty toilets which I made good use of. I probably woke up about 8 times to some the loud rattling of the train running on not so smooth tracks. Overall I enjoyed the train ride experience and would probably try it again in the future.
much love,
Steele
Curious because I am planning on making the same trip, but do you have any photos of what the train is like? I am having a hard time deciphering the differences between the T and K class trains.
