After some sad goodbyes I went off to Beijing West Train Station alone. I took train number T41 to Xi’an, which is 12 hours long. I got the cheapest ticket ($35) since I’m kind of limited on money. This gives me a little space to lie down and sleep on the top bed of the car. Lights out at 10PM exactly and lights on at 6AM exactly. I climbed into the bed once and stayed there the entire time.
