2011 - NZ To SF - Day 97

Day 97: (18 August 2011):

DPRK (NORTH KOREA) PORTION NOT PUBLISHED :(

- Half way across river, see Chinese half of bridge & busy observation deck at end of bridge.
- Cars, lights, amazing feeling just coming it to China. Modern & free feel.
- Call dad, wait 1hr. Can walk around without guides now! No longer locked.
- Latch onto Chinese train, Chinese train cars less smelly. Dining car far away.
- Train faster & rails smoother.
- Eat at full dining car. Walk through numerous Chinese cars. Comments about so many foreigners. Then “hush, they might understand you.”
- Help translate for Jasmine for a while.
- Bring er guo tou to share.
- Ask some NK train attendants if they have coins. See them count stack of US$.
- Sleep on train at night. Always later than desired.
