Made it to the station in plenty of time and got to my train early, got on to wait and found it to be very comfortable! like an airline seat really so no worries there!
I got talking to the other guy on the table and he spoke a little english and we chatted for a bit, then a young chinese girl arrived with no english at all! and then another older guy, and the first guy (gavin) promised to teach me a chinese game.
He bought some cards and so they tried to teach me this crazy game but only by showing me not explaining the rules and it involved throwing down random cards it seemed to me! and working in teams too! eventually I gave up and decided to teach them an english game! I decided on old maid as it seemed to be the easiest to teach so removed 3 queens and had them taking off each other, then got another girl involved and a few people came to watch as we played endless games of old maid on the train, a great memory! no real conversation but plenty of emotions when people won/lost, very fun!
Most people then went to sleep and I chatted with the second girl till around 3 (chenzienshou in chinese or just Vivian), she had quite basic english but I didnt mind and saw it as a chance to practise teaching!
managed to grab a couple of hours sleep and then arrived in Beijing! 1000km away from Xian apparently, just a short hop by local standards.
Jumped on the subway to my hostel and checked in and unpacked, now need to sort some train tickets!
