i
have
one
hour
before
my
train
to
Shanghai arrives,
and
i've
nothing
to
do
now
except
check
emails
and
blather
till
it's
time
to
leave
...
has
anyone
been
to
China
?
It
has
been
thus
far
one
of
the
most
challenging
countries
for
me
to
travel
in
--mainly
because
of
the
language
barrier
..I'd
say
about
99
.99%
of
the
population
DONT
speak
English
(
as
opposed
to
most
/a
lot
of
the
population
being
able
to
speak
english
in
non-english
speaking
countries
)...
hardly
anyhitng
is
written
in
English
either
-
dont
get
me
wrong
,
i
am
not
complaining
.
i
wouldnt
want
it
to
be
any
other
way
.
half
the
fun
of
travelling
is
plunging
in
, immersing
yourself
in
their
world
...
IS
anyone
else
on
the
road
?

something
like
dirtbiking
of
some
mountain
trail
next
to
the
wall
and
a
lake
on
the
other
side
with
a
few
people
who
share
my
interests
a
nice
campsite
with
ample
food
and
water
maybe
even
a
stereo
and
then
fall
asleep
on
cold
grass
staring
at
the
stars

nonsensical
i've
been
to
china
,
and
it's
beautiful
in
rural areas.
in
the
cities
it
is
often
very
dirty
and
crowded.
i
remember
that
i've
only
ridden
in
taxis
in
china
,
never
in
san francisco.

IS
anyone
else
on
the
road
?
constantly
.
my
life
is
a
complicated
series
of
roads
,
streets
and
alleys,
and
I
seem
to
have
lost
my
map
.
and
phrasebook.
Where
are
you
,
o
devourer
of
loti
?
