Sleeper train to Guilin, China

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Begin the begin.Now starts the next leg of the awesome journey. Crossed the border into the People’s Republic of China. Border documents, Tsingtao beer on the train. (The logos and t-shirt slogans found here are refreshing and often goofy-hip.)Tsingtao beer: Olympic 2008 beer can slogan: Passion, Dreams & Success! (aka beer beer beer)


As the train rolled north and past the Guangzhou factory region, I saw trash camps and plots of wasted land. At one point, in the distance, we could see dire plumes of dark factory smoke rise up into the stratosphere as the was sun was setting. It’s an area worth exploring again, to more fully come to grip with our increasing impact on this planet. (Yes. More pictures to come..)


Come travel with me, fellow seekers!!….

Yangsho, Guilin, Chickens, Geese, ducks, hot weather, the beautiful Li River.. and more, tomorrow…
