63. Ride on a train

When we went to China in Beijing we were supposed to take an overnight train from Beijing to Xi'an but the lady booking our train tickets didn't book our train tickets. So, we had to fly. But, in VietNam we took an overnight train from Hanoi to Sapa and it was interesting. And something I never want to do again. First of all, the train was old and noisy which made sleeping difficult. Plus, the gentlemen in the same train as us were chain smokers and gamblers who spent the night laughing and drinking. THEN, the train kept stopping. It would be traveling a long at a reasonable speed and then abruptly stop. Of course, I assumed the train was stopping because we were being hijacked and therefore, I ended up getting zero sleep! But, it was an experience and Kylisha and Rachel really enjoyed it. Here's a pic of our little sleeper car:



55 finished...45 remaining.
