Nanjing
Today I took a three-hour train ride to Nanjing, the old capital of China. The soft seat ticket cost 72 yuan - or about $8.50. It was a fairly comfortable ride, stuffy cabins aside. The bathroom was the pit type. Must be hard to use as the train jerks back and forth. I waited.
The news here is all abuzz about the visit of China's president Hu to Washington. One of the items of discussion is that Hu was not offered a State Dinner at the White House but only a lunch. One of the headlines I saw was "Guess Hu's Not Coming to Dinner".
