Journey to the train station kind of felt like we we're a freak show so many people just gwarping at us. I've decided I'm going to stare back! The rush when they announced boarding of the train was almost comical..someone actually trod on my leg to get in front. They don't really have queuing rules here. Normal train - cheaper seats are the top beds so we don't have much room. As usual I read a few books we got onto the conversation about the first few meals we ...

Me and Shanghai made friends the following day. It's still impossible to navigate your way around. The map only has main road on it so once you deviate from those your pretty much on your own..and no point asking anyone! We decided we wanted to stay in bed for a whole day and watch films (haven't actually had a day doing nothing since the beginning) so that's exactly what we did! It was easy too in that room..never realised not having a window made my body neve...

Getting to the train station and going through passport control was actually pretty easy! The waiting room was crazy busy..spotted duty free standard covering myself in perfume was required- flower bomb reminded me of Shelley. Stocked up on Pringles and Oreos for the 20 hour journey. WHAT a cultural experience!! Jesus Christ..we got onto the train and there are cabins of 6 beds 3 bunk beds in a tiny space. Me and mart we're in different ones which wasn't great ...

We found our hostel easily after some more arguements with the taxi drivers (we'd gotton the address written in chinese and some people still refused to take us - ...

New day new country.. We got a taxi to the airport, we sure got ripped off when we came last time with everyone. Having a taxi on the meter is def the way forward for Bangkok was only 200 bhat to the airport. Think we paid 1000 last time for the 5 of us. Flew from DMK to Macau! Weird when you land it looks like you've landed in the sea. Had a bit of a nightmare when we got in the taxi- the man could speak no English and just kept shouting at me when I showed him...
