10/12 – Jiayuguan
Got on the bullet train after boarding the bus from hell. (It was super crowded and clearly not at all designed for people carrying stuff. WHICH I GET. But we had to carry stuff, so it sucked.) It did eventually lurch into the train station, which has very few shops, but is otherwise quite nice. (It has a lovely reading room, children's play room, mother and baby room, a very fancy business class room, etc I couldn't find the foreigner room that ws advertised online as having lots of foreign language books, but didn't care all that much anyway...) then got into my fancy first class seat. (See last post for love of train station stuff.)
