I’m on the high speed train going to a place called Xuzhou about 3 hours north of Suzhou. I’ve been invited to go to a tour in this area for two days which I’m looking forward too, but what I’m not enjoying is the process of getting there. Having to use public transport at the weekend when every Tom, Dick and Harry or Harriet and having their extremely annoying children with them. Of course many of the parents are also fucking annoying because they play music with no headphones. Oh and they talk too fucking loud. The Grandparents are left to look after the kids while the parents take absolutely no responsibility. The result is that the children get out of control and the parents have gone into a coma state.

The smell of shit is in the air and this I would imagine is from some of the young kids but then again when I was in the queue to get info the station someone in front was touching cloth.

The infrastructure may be modern in China but some of the inhabitants have still got a long way to go to becoming civilised and to be aware of others and act in a manner more fitting in public.
