I have to relate an experience I had while traveling the
train from Changsha to Zhangjiajie. This was a shorter trip so no overnight
train and no high speed rail. I also sat in the normal car and not the soft
sleeper. While I sat there enjoying the scenery a man walked in with a box
under his arm and a bucket in the other. He stopped in the middle of the car
and dumped the bucket of water on the floor. He then took a shammy from the box
and, all the while talking in Chinese, proceeded to soak up the water and put
it back into the bucket. At that time I realized that I was in an infomercial
on the train. When he was finished making his pitch people started raising their
hands and he went to each one selling the shammy.
I never would have experienced anything like that on a tour
bus.
