Gotta get outa this place!

Woke up this morning and had a coffee before heading into town, I made it to the train station but the only train to Xian that day left in 10 minutes...no time to go back and get my bag! So I booked for tomorrow and will take the 23 hour slow train accross the country with just a hardseat! stupid dragon boat week! everybody is traveling!

When I had finished in the station I headed back to the centre of Hungzhou to have a last look around, I then decided to do some gadget shopping and showed a chinese language name to a taxi and was taken to the biggest amount of gadgets I have ever seen! 5 floors of stalls selling laptops, parts, mp3 players, mobile phones etc etc, it was awesome! I wandered around trying out MP3 players and was very tempted by the Meizu M8, for 150gbp you get an iphone clone that is very good, works in the UK and is a bit quirky, but just a little expensive with no warranty, although if I import and sell it is is worth around 250!

I came so close to buying several things but in the end decided I would try again later, a tough decision on my part I feel!

After the gadget shop I headed back to the hostel and met a couple of Fins touring china as well, they were nice guys, I
then chatted to the girls staying in the hotel and they cooked me some chinese dinner, very tasty! she was a good cook!

Then sorted my stuff for the morning...cant believe I have 23 hours on a train!! and its not even that far accross china!!
