Back on the road

I'm killing time in a starbucks waiting for my first chinese train experience. I apologize in advance for any weird typos, as I'm using my iPod touch, which despite some signal issues in my hostel on hong kong has already proved super useful. Going to keep this entry short, though since I want to save the battery for my 12 hour train trip to Guilin. Everything has been going surprisingly smooty so far and my expected troubles booking a last minute train ticket did not emerge. On the other hand, it is unseasonably cool (I'm glad I brought a fleece) and drizzly. It cleared up just in time for my visit to the buddah on Lantau (hong kong) yesterday but the weather seems like it's going to stay this way for a few days in all of the south. We'll see if it enhances the beauty of Guilin / yangshuo or shrouds everything in mist. That's all for now, maybe more when I arrive tomorrow morning.

Great to hear from you. The earthquake in Tibet is in the news here. What's the reaction where you are?
