Beijing to Lhasa by train

Now this, I would absolutely love to do…

CPod classes on the train to Lhasa. Anyone up for it? Jenny? Anyone? What do you think?

    By hard seat? We could all practice 這裡有人坐嗎?I am sure Aric can find Lhasa Country Club so we can half a four ball as well as who is playing what gigs in town as well. If they only sell return tickets would you consider throwing the return away and catching a flight after experiencing this train ride.

    Mike,

    I believe I’d arrange a soft sleeper and a bottle of Highland Cream for you in case of nose bleeds.

    I never said anything about the return, but now that you mention it…

    Soft sleeper and lottery for cabin-mates?!

    Ken,
    I would also be on the train - look for a harp (I am Welsh), the Highland Cream (I live in Scotland) and a dreamy expression….it would be heaven to be on that train “doing” my Chinese!

    I bet I could talk me whole chinese class into that. That is all I have heard about for the past 4 days since the article appeared in the times with pictures.
