Beijing Central Railway Station

Our train left at 9am, Tuesday morning which meant we would try for a second time to wake up early and make it as a group to our next destination. Getting to the airport in Seoul was a bit of a mission for everyone but the train worked out much better. The Central Railway Station is a huge building in the center of town with few signs in English. We deduced what we could and went to what we thought was our platform. We were surrounded by old Chinese men spitting on the train and Mongolian traders hauling microwaves, tires, and fake fur coats back to their homeland. Where were the young Russians girls or cool Europeans? We found that on this leg we were on our own for entertainment, but had a blast regardless.
