A Crazy Idea

Qingdao 008 - CopyIf I don't write anything now I'm sure I'll forget everything so.. let's get it started!
On saturday we had the crazy idea to go to the train station in order to buy train tickets (what else..?) to... Qingdao, the town ot the famous Tsingtao Beer, an ancient German concession, also well-known for its beauty and... the beach!
Monday evening, at 18 we took a taxi to the train station but of course we've forgotten the most important thing ; the swimsuits... We had no chance but to come back home, what was a shame because the last bus to Yangliuqing, where our train was, was leaving at 19h30. Hopefully we could be understood by the taxi driver and he took us, alive, to the bus (at the train station...) for 19O'Clock.
This is where the adventure began ; the bus was full at the departure, we were standing in the middle of the crowd, and the bus was driving trhough places looking like Beyrouth or even Africa (in some abandoned forest where nobody lives), for 1 hour before the lady I was hoping to take the seat decided to get out of the bus.. Then 30 min left before we arrive at the train station of Yangliuqing. There... it was almost 21 and our train was at... surprise suprise! 00:23! We were starving, people outside the train station were bothering us, wanting to sell things or take us for a drive in their taxis... hellooo!! we're taking the traaaain! ... But we finally found out a little restaurant ; we asked for the same thing than two people sitting there, and seriously, it was good, cheap, and just... good. 30 RMB for 2 drinks, 2 rices, 2 dishes (really big ones by the way). The waiter was like... I don't know, 15, and was doing his homework ; family restaurant.
The only problem was that time wasn't flying fast enough, and we still had 4 hours to wait...
The waiting room of the train station smelled toilets, that was really awful and we simply couldn't stand it for too long so we went outside, played Uno and watched "La Môme". I have to say, sincerely this was a good film, really.
Then... the train arrived, we took it, I couldn't sleep because a businessman didn't had any operation for its nose snoring all night long... James wasn't bothered with it but I just couldn't sleep at all. AT ALL.
