After lunch we go back to the train station to get to our next destination Beijing. Waiting at the train station a little boy shits in the middle of the room without taking his pants off. The Chinese babies wear open pants in the crotch and don't use diapers, we are amazed. His father picks him up not very willingly.

Pingyao station is small, our train leaves at 6 p.m. Unfortunately, they didn't sell us a sleeping car and we have to sit there for twelve hours. Our seats are occupied and we have to show the tickets to show it, the world upside down.

During the journey we are the attraction of the train and everyone comes to look at us. A woman spends hours pushing me to sit in our seat, in the end we make room for her.

Chinese trains have hot water fountains available to passengers so many people carry dehydrated noodles in plastic containers.

They are a little bit pork and everything is thrown on the floor, even the eggshells. Then a man passes a mocho spreading it around.
