Hello everybody
I'm David in Accrington, Lancashire, UK and my wife is from Changsha! The family is going back over there for a month at the end of July to see her side of the family again so we're all excited. Anyway, I've been reading all the posts here and decided to leave a few statements. For those wishing to know how long it takes to get from Beijing to Changsha; when we flew, it took 2hrs and when we took the train, 16hrs. I strongly recommend FIRST class if you take the train. We got stuck with a 2nd class sleeper which in itself isn't too bad as long as you don't mind sharing an open style carriage with a thousand others and basically 4 high berths. I got the top bunk and my nose was literally 3 inches away from the ceiling lol. turning over was a nightmare. The on board toilets; there awaits a lovely surprise ;) First class, on the other hand comprises of a closed compartment with only 4 bunks. Now, in my time, I've slept by the sides of autoroutes etc etc when travelling, to suites in 5 star hotels and everything inbetween. It's just info.
Anyway, as far as Changsha itself is concerned; VAST, and I personally only saw 2 western faces the first time I was there. If you don't mind attention, you're going to love it because you will feel like a rock star! I had loads of very pretty late teen girls asking for my phone number even whilst my wife was with me. She thought it was hilarious and encouraged me to give it to them, which of course I did lol honestly, yea, like here's my UK number, can you imagine lol There's so much to say and so little room, so if anyone does want any specific info, please feel free to ask, and I'll Wendy (Wen Ying) for details.
regards..........................Dvd
