As many of you may know, the past week was the absolute busiest time to travel in China. With the New Year’s holiday coming up, many people who work in the big cities make the several hour, and in some cases several day, journey back home to be with family. With all those people trying to move around the country at roughly the same time, things are going to get a little cozy. Making matters worse, many passengers seem to have missed the trash receptacles, instead choosing to throw their garbage into the aisle.
▼ “Lemme just add to that pile for ya. Oh, don’t worry, there’s more where that came from.”
▼ At least they’re all standing on the seats so the cleaner can come through.
▼ Bathroom or garbage dump, you decide.
We can’t even image how the train smelled when all those containers were freshly opened, the scent of the contents wafting around the cabin. Well, at least they’re going home for the holiday…
Happy New Year, everyone!
