[quote=INDYBOATER,433515]I just took the hard sleeper on a K train from Shanghai to Jinan 2 nights ago. Cheaper than a flight and I couldn't get a soft sleeper or a faster train. It was about 12 hours, but I had the time to kill, so that was not an issue. The hard sleeper is like having a private train car... that you share with 60 of your closest Chinese friends. And they are close. Basically like being crammed into bunks on a navy submarine, just without any amenities like a shower or a tiny bit of privacy that you might get on a submarine. It was not bad. If I spoke Chinese I think it would have been much much better if I had been able to chat with my fellow passengers. Although... I did meet a beautiful, smart girl on the train who spoke a little English and we were able to talk a bit, share some laughs, and play games. Oh, she was about 7. :) That made the train trip totally worth it.[/quote]
