Nothing Exciting

I bought a train ticket to Chengdu. I leave in two days. The train station was a total zoo, even by Chinese standards. The ticket issuers have a reputation for being very impatient, so I nervously stepped up to the plate.
"Ming tian you huo che dao Chengdu qu ma? Wo xiang zuo ying wo, zui shang pu de..."
"Mei you"
"Hou tian ne?"
"You" (then a bunch of things I didn't understand)
(more of the same questions)
(more answers I didn't understand)
(I asked the same questions)
(She said some junk)
(Now I have a train ticket to Chengdu, a hard-sleeper and top bunk, just like I asked for)
Thankfully my lady did not represent the reputation of ticket ladies. She smiled at me, and was patient.
I'm so psyched to take a train again.

I've mostly been eating bread today, went skateboarding, to some spot that was in a 411, close to the place with those huge black banks that go on forever (from the Nike video). I think I might go check those out tomorrow, my last day in Beijing.
