Spoken Notebook Page 3 - 01 December 2019

A rather sleepy but experience-rich David Feng — at wit's end after just a few hours' shut-eye — dangles a microphone in his left hand with the right supporting his now-rather-heavy head. But there's a few bit of rail tips before he makes the final doze-off... for the moment...

E-tickets have arrived on a few High Speed routes (especially in Eastern China) but the system is far from perfect for the uninitiated expat — for one reason, your blue ticket now is a reimbursement document only and you can't find your seat number on it!

Otherwise, a look at a very-well-futureproofed-in-the-future Beijing Daxing Railway Station, as well as a Binzhou station that's incredibly white... certainly in colour schemes...

Let's hope David doesn't miss his train connections later in the day!...
