The way to China (and back?) - by Elina

zzzzzzzzzz

What is it about Chinese men that makes them snoooooore so much? Or men in general? Or people?

And why oh why do I always find myself having a bed right next to/over/below such a person?

Travelling on Chinese trains and sharing dorm rooms in hostels has thought me the importance of something: earplugs! Which, infortunately, seems to be an item that is not for sale anywhere in this wonderful country. Sure, you can buy half a yak head or a soft drink in an hand-acupoint-massage bottle, but you can't buy earplugs... Which is why i'm definitely getting my 'money's worth', still using those free airline earplugs from over a year ago... Somehow the other chinese people, sharing the same compartments or rooms seem to be immune to these sounds that ressemble sometimes an elephant with a bad case of the flu or sometimes a steam train in a very long tunnel.

Speaking of flying, I will land on Helsinki-Vantaa on 5 December, for a little 'holiday' from my hard life of travelling, and will return to face the life of a laowai again in mid-January.
