About

My name is Greg Williams.
I'm travelling from London to Australia, and taking longer than necessary to do it.
This blog is intended to track that journey, and make it a bit more interesting for you to find out what I'm up to.

Train to Beijing - First night

Train to Beijing - First night

I was anxious about this train. I didn't really know what to expect, like who would be my roommate, or how many people would speak English, or would anyone be around my age? As it turns out, things seem perfectly okay.
This is a photo of my room. Note the wood panelling: lush. My bed is the one pictured which is the upper one of two.
Have made some friends in 2nd class from Germany and Britain, too, so it should be fine. My roommate is from America and seems fine so far. The man that looks after the carriage is great too. Mainly because he sells us beer at half the price of the dining car.
