Today morning at ard 6+ am, we finally reach Changchun… the weather is pretty cold but still ok,heard the temperature will drop till below -10 degrees or so before we go back to Singapore.

Rch Beijing at ard 6-7pm…the weather was a lot much colder…below 15degrees I thk… board the bus heading for the train station… the highway was ok but when we rch the city, it was jamming lky crazy… the agent was so afraid tt we would miss our train and thus ask us to get down and walk to the train station ourselves.. she said it will be a 30min walk but I thk we walked for an hr alrdy zz… the road is so messy, due to the traffic jam, drivers from the road in all sort of vechicles, was dangerous cos we can sometimes find ourselves in the middle of cars,motorcyles ON THE PAVEMENT… also,we can see ppl carrying their bagguage running to the train station… at times, we couldnt see the others and dere is a high possibility of us getting lost… I find the agent very blur… she call us walk to train station but our language in the bus,she say the bus will bring it over…but if tts the case, y cant we juz stay on the bus or to worse carry our language tgt wif us cos it shld be impossible for us to go Changchun without our language ma... also,when we were on our way rching the train station alrdy, the bus caught up…we were all sian diao… at the train station, we still had to walk further away from it to claim our luguage from the bus… was kinda long walk and quite jialat for me cos my lugauge the pulling thing spoil so I need to carry it… to look on a brighter side I juz take it as a training LOL... the situation at the train station was also chaotic… we took our language and squeeze our way in the entrance… once u give way to others, u wun be able to squeeze in le..the doors seem as if it will break down anytime lols…
On board the train, we get into our cabin, 6 beds per cabin…the space was super small and no doors… couldn’t slp at 1st but went to slp cos was too tired… but was kinda nice to slp wif the train noise and the train shaking ard haha…
