Pre-post fun – the Chinese train story
A little game of imagination.
You are carrying your heavy backpacks through the crowds, the heat of the day is squeezing the last juices out of your body and you finally reach the train that will take you to your next destination on your long awaited trip through China.
You enter the cart with vintage dirt stains adoring the old surfaces and seeing the wide opened windows you realize that it has no air-conditioning. There is a 25 hour ride ahead of you, your children are tired and the only tickets you can get have assured you the very top bunks of the three layered set up of the hard-sleeper cart you are standing in the middle of.
What happens next? Is it horrible or surprisingly wonderful experience? Somewhere in the middle? Or do you just say screw it and get out of the train?
I will tell you our story later.
I’m gonna hang out on a limb here and guess…
Knowing you – it turned out to be a bizarre, but nonetheless “surprisingly wonderful experience”. Yes? No?
Somewhere in the middle
oh, i belive you all just went to sleep (did you?) and wake up in the beutifull chaina that you imagened .
or….you decided to leave chaina,it just doesn’t worth it.
Surprisingly wonderful, for sure!
Moved to first class?
Turns out that China has something against my blog and I have been trying to get on for more than a day unsuccessfully. After some search I found a proxy that worked, so I can let you all know.
I guess the story will have to wait a bit longer.
Snapping
For your sake, I hope surprisingly wonderful. Looking forward to hearing more.
I bet something amazing happened – I can’t wait to find out… suspense or what!
Oh my goodness! I am so disappointed that China has met you with such a cruel hand. I am so sorry to hear that you are unwell, and that you are missing home. I know this is just temporary … it must get better, it must! I will be thinking of you guys everyday, crossing my fingers, and sending you love. Look after each other, as you always do. I’m still seeing your positive spirit, so I know you will make the most of this adventure.
Suspense! Love it. I can’t believe that you guys are already about 1/3 into your year long journey. Can’t wait for the thrilling conclusion!
