Sorry to hear about the train station woes.

Whoever organized the ticket queues must be the biggest bumblefuck in the world, because who the hell actually does that? Last I checked, people always line up at the back of the line.

Haha, and you’ve been in China how long? Shanghai’s softened you man. Us provincial folks have never heard of this “lining up” that you speak of. It’s first one to the front – winner takes all.

In all seriousness, yeah – it’s retarded. And I’ve yet to be in a train station ticket office that wasn’t a completely chaotic mess – even in Shanghai, which should be the shining jewel of ticket office efficiency…

I’m with ya – helicopters it is.
