My train was scheduled to arrive at 3:42AM. In the mean time, I had a seat next to a very rude Chinese man. He drank a lot of tea and he couldn’t sleep, so while everyone else was trying to sleep he was walking around, talking to people, and trying to sleep himself. He would put his legs everywhere in strange positions, on the seat, the table, pressing against me. It wasn’t until 2AM that he slept a little bit and then I could try to sleep too.
I got off the train in the city of Zhengzhou, but I wasn’t sure about staying here. I wanted to get to the city of Kaifeng. First I tried the bus station, they said no buses. Then I tried the train station, which had a train at 4:52AM. At this point I was very tired after walking up and down that mountain and then not really getting any sleep afterwards.
When I arrive in Kaifeng, the first buses were starting at 6:00AM and after some breakfast I got on a bus that arrived near the recommended hotel in my book. This hotel was pretty bad, but at least I had a place to rest.
Later in the day I wanted to go visit the Kaifeng Museum, but when I got there it was closed (it is Monday). I walked more and saw some of the city walls. They are rebuilding some parts. After walking more, I did visit the Temple of the Chief Minister. I rested the rest of the day.
