July 29, 2008

I just talked to Andrew about the trip to Xian.  Andrew said that they all had a good time in Xian.  It sounds like things are calming down for them and they are getting more accustom to China.  Apparently they took the train back to Nanjing.  Andrew reported that they got to the train station a bit late and had to run to the train OJ Simpson style to get to the train just minutes before it left. They got back this morning after traveling on an overnight train.  Andrew said that they were in a sleeper car and that it was pretty comfortable.  He said that they also met some girls from Holland that had been in Beijing and they told Andrew that they found Beijing to be very crowded and that the pollution was still quite bad.  They plan to rest a few days in Nanjing before heading up to Beijing.  Andrew also reported that they have been eating a lot of western fast food, especially KFC and that he is getting tired of it.  Maybe they will be more willing to eat the local food in Beijing if they are tired of KFC.
