We decided to take an overnight train from Kunming to Dali. This was my 1st overnite public train ride in China. We were bunked in a 6-bed compartment and I was allocated to a 2nd level bed. Next to our compartment was a group of 6 locals( probably a family ) of 4 elderly men + 3 elderly women. When sleeping time neared, all except 1 of the younger woman, stripped to their underpants and proceed to bed. They slept soundly till the next morning when the train arrived at Dali. They put back their outer long pants and left the train. It was quite weird for me. But is this normal ?? I couldn't sleep the whole night and sat at the corridor of the train watching the beautiful full moon.
