48 hours: Eat > Sleep > Wake up by loudspeaker > Eat > Sleep....

Forced to listen lots of music on train via the loudspeaker, yea me one of the thousand captive audience... haven't been listening to Manadarin songs for long... An refreshing experience for me. Now have to dig out the songs from the Net.

After spluring??? Managed to left with only RMB 20 at airport when I depart. :-) Left no chance for Indian $$ changer to lure my pocket.
