To the untrained eye...



I'm waiting for someone to comment: "You guys all look alike." This is celebrating the middle of Chinese New Year.... something like that. It's a 15 day holiday. It's still not over yet.

Chinese New Year



I'm leaving for HuaiNan, AnHui Province tonight at 1am to hang with my relatives over Chinese New Year. During this time of year, taking the train anywhere in the country is really fucking crazy. Apparently, people just hop on with no tickets and if they get caught, either buy a ticket on the train or just jump off and catch another. A lot of the migrant workers work all year and this is their only chance to make it home, so basically picture 260 million people hopping onto like... 10 trains/day/destination. So since I bought a ticket, it doesn't gaurentee that I'll have a seat, just gaurentee's that I can get on the train, haha. To add to that, it's going to be cold as FUCK where I'm headed. It's going to be a long night. See you fellas in a week.
