On the train back to Dalian. Miao’s Eldest Uncle’s daughter still has school so is not coming back with us. So no luck with going to the theme park. I hope she can come later. The holiday was on the whole very pleasant, partly the over eating and beer consumed, but also the company of Miao’s family who really seem happy with me. My stomach got a little upset yesterday, perhaps as a result of the Korean BBQ meal we had with her eldest uncle on Thursday, and meat that wasn’t cooked thoroughly enough. Perhaps just with the over eating, and drinking the beer with food.
The train is now passing through a mountain pass with trees covering the sides, its very green and pretty. The farms between Shenyang and Dalian seem very big, and grow alot of sweet corn. Getting onto the train in Shenyang was as crazy as it was at Dalian, and before that going from Shenyang to Dalian the first time. The train we are on is a slightly cheaper one at 55yuan pp which takes 4hrs. The train was over booked, as seems standard practise, and there are many people standing. Some lao tai-tai (middle aged woman) is sat on a huge foldable chair in the aisle next to us and is talking away with Miao’s mother. I feel quite glad of this as it will keep her occupied and make the trip a little more interesting for her. I have been playing Worms on my PSP, and Miao has been texting her friends and interjecting in conversation as and when appropriate.
