How about your trip, Wan? I read your post in Chitter Chatter. If you have time, you may visit Chengdu. It's also a nice city.

Dear BBQQ
Besides the the usual cities in Guagtdong, I managed to go to Xi'an and Zhengzhou only, both cities for 7 days. I took train from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng. No wonder Kaifeng still remained as old city, even the train was also old and packed like sardine in the can. I did plan to visit Sichuan but then some friends said at the moment it has some natural catastrophes so I shelved off my initial plan. One of my contacts formerly was a graduate frm the military university in Chengdu.

Did you mean the "green carriage" trains? I seldom see it at the stations. I used to take green-carriage trains when I went back to colleges. THere was no air-conditioners but fans. In summer, it's a great torture to take this train.

Haha, it smells like chicken coop. More people standing than sitting, and there are people who never stop smoking even in a crowded coach. Slowly I'm going back to Song Dynasty.

Wan,

There was no train in the Song Dynasty. Why not stop the men who smoked in the public area? Anyway, it's good to take such a train in winter. It's smelly but warm.

Of course there's no train during Song Dynasty. The train moved slowly and I could see the remnants of the past. The palace of the emperor surrounded by the man-made lake, just like the castle in Scotland. I used to visit one of the castles along the Royal Mile of Edinburgh where they claimed the burning of witches on stakes. I could feel some eery feeling.
