2 thumbs up for train quality

I'm going to go ahead and say, the train I'm on today is far smoother and quieter than I had expected. It's actually quite amazingly good. I didn't expect this from China. The seats are nice and soft. It's clean. Lots of overhead luggage space.

I guess this is probably why the girl from China winced when I asked her if Chinese trains were like the Thai one that we were on when we were headed from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

Or maybe... This train is only nice because I'm coming from Hong Kong. We will see in a couple days time.
