Fun as the EAPers were, I decided to take a walk on the train, which is an entirely, or almost entirely sleeper express with no stops between Beijing and Hohhot. Looking for some friendly faces, I ran into four Americans from the east coast. Though they're all from different schools they're all at the same Beijing university for Chinese courses, where they're not allowed to speak any english without danger of dismissal from the program. That's vaguely interesting to those who can already speak, but unfortunately, the fine fellow in yellow can barely speak a word.
