I’m on my way to Myanmar. It was nearly a 24 hour train ride from Beijing to Shenzhen. I climbed up into my upper level sleeper and stayed there most of the time.
I arrived in Shenzhen at 8PM, found an airport bus and went directly to the airport. At the airport two women said they were hungry, wanted bread and pointed to KFC. I gave them some extra food I had with me, even though I was getting hungry myself. Seemed like food wasn’t good enough, they wanted money. I just told them to eat this.
Shenzhen has a tiny international area, but they did have some wi-fi access which was useful. As my flight was boarding I learned there is a job interview for me in the US. Uh oh! Too bad this didn’t happen a few days ago when I had more time.
It was three hours to Bangkok, Thailand, where I planned to spend the night in the airport.
One more story about China. Some Chinese people told me they saw home prices were so cheap in the US. It sounds like some are interested in buying US real estate as an investment. I was thinking, is this the future? Will China buy the USA?
