The overnight train was pretty comfortable, other than some snoring. Its so nice to just get on a train, go to sleep, and wake up where you want to be! I am really impressed with the Chinese railway system.

Since I had some extra time before my train left I roamed around Chizhou in search of a tailor to fix my bike shorts. Eventually I found one who patched them for 5 yuan (50 cents)!

Today I picked up my bike at the CRE office in Guilinbei. It was simple and the bike is in perfect condition. Its amazing how easy and cheap it was to ship! Now that I know how to do it, I'll need to write a blog for other cyclists.

On the way out of Guilin I joined the crowd of scooters. The scooters and bikes (just me) actually have their own mini road next to the main one. The roads here are incredibly wide. But all of the scooters actually make me feel safer because I am not an unusual sight. The roads are so chaotic you have to be paying attention.

Unfortunately its pretty foggy today, so I just got an impression of the Karsts. I hope it clears up tomorrow! The little town I am staying in had no food options so I am having instant ramen....again. And for breakfast too
