150521 － 在西安打字的自己：中国的火车

你好朋友们！我这次在西安给你们写打字的自己 （我今天没有纸！）

今天我要告诉你我在中文火车的经验。昨天我们坐了火车去西安，一次十一小时的旅游。

我总是被中国的火车站震惊！中国的火车站比英国的火车站大了好多！这儿总有非常多的人，不过都井然有序的。

昨天我和我女朋友早一点来到了成都火车站因为我们听说了你必须排队。然而我们都很吃惊，因为我们很快的检了我们的票。

火车站里很干净也有很多饭馆和副食商店。我买了一些小吃然后坐着等我们的火车。

在火车上我们很快找到了我们的床铺（我们有了“Soft Sleeper（软卧）“的票）。

我们的床很舒服很干净，和我们的同屋的人都很好。

我个人觉得，我可以完全推荐中国的火车！

再见！

Hello friends! This time I‘m typing this journal entry to you from Xi'an.

Today I want to tell you about my experience of Chinese trains. Yesterday we took the train to Xi-an, in total an 11 hour journey.

I am always amazed by train stations in China. Chinese train stations are much much bigger than English train stations. There are always a huge number of people but they are extremely well organised/run.

Yesterday my girlfriend and I arrived at Chengdu station a little early as we heard that you often have to queue. On the contrary, we were surprised as we were able to collect our tickets very quickly.

The inside of the train station was very clean and there were also lots of restaurants and grocery stores. We bought a few snacks and then sat down to wait for our train.

On the train, we quickly found our beds (we had "Soft Sleeper" tickets).

Out beds were very comfortable and clean and our room mates were great people!

In my opinion I can definitely recommend the trains in China.

See you later!
