| Back in Jingzhou for 3 days before heading down to Guilin and Yangshuo to hangout with our old colleagues Hedy and Alex. |
 |
| Typical of China, but nonetheless still interesting to see. |
 |
| An awesome parking job in front of Cathy's aunt's restaurant. |
 |
| Cathy's friend's dog, McGrady. |
 |
| Cathy's cousin of a cousin works at the Jingzhou Museum and took us on one of her tours. It was really busy there. |
 |
| Whoever wrote this BS was one paranoid guy. I read something like "Dear Lord of the Afterlife, please allow this man to be an official in the Afterlife because he was an official in this life." Bit of stretch... |
 |
| The second mummy in the Jingzhou Museum. Somehow, I missed it last time I was there. Note the embalmed innards on the right. |
 |
| We went to see a classic musical performance. |
 |
| Waiting around for our train to Guilin. |
 |
| Never again will I travel on a Chinese train for more than 6 hours. The train to Guilin from Wuhan was a nightmare. 16 hours of nightmare to be exact. It was crowded to the point where people were standing IN the washroom. The seats were so uncomfortable, and I got a grand total of 0 hours of sleep. I actually begged Cathy to get off at Changsha so we can fly, but we ended up just taking the train. Hands down my WORST experience in the PRC in the last 3 years...and it will be tough to beat. Highlights included someone spitting on my pants and a kid taking a dump next to me. If you take a Chinese train, go berth and not seat. |
Wow. China never seizes to amaze! Sorry to hear about that train ride. I can only imagine...

It was terrible. There were various odors, but all of them were so funky I almost threw up. A mother of a sick baby brought her child onto the train and he didn't stop crying for the longest time. Remember our little "outing" to Metro in our first year? That experience pales in comparison.
