Let me tell ya a little secret I learned.
Say your out of time and low on cash but you still want to go somewhere. Heres what you can do. Buy a ticket to somewhere, just a standing ticket on the train. When someone gets out of there seat, take it, then you have a seat, once more people leave you might even be able to lie down on the seat. K you dont want to lie down in the hard seat section of the train, its also possible to buy a sleeper, depending on how well you can negociate, youll do well.

If you go to any major city in China you must go to Wal-mart. It is a symbol of China. I made the mistake on going there on a saterday. Dont go on a saterday! You'll find EVERYTHING YOU NEED. You can buy whole pigs, ( and any other meat, fruit, vegtable you can imagine) household items, cosmetics, candy, cleaners, ahh the list goes on and on. Go to Walmart, its an experince youll never forget
