A trip to Yangling

Suzan Liu is from Yangling, and I'm en route to visit her childhood home, hang out with her first childhood friend, and gain a view of real country life in China.


It takes about 45 mins to get there via the train. The folks on the train are very nice, though they do not speak much English. I somehow manage to garner an invitation to dinner with this man, and his family. I decline, as I don't want to interfere with the plans instore with Jian Peng, Suzans childhood friend.


These students kept checking in on me during the train ride, and then came to find me at my seat when we were close to the stop, ensuring I got off at the correct location. They were very friendly, spoke some english, we shared contact info, and they offered to guide me back to Xi'an tomorrow.
