China seems so well organised, then everyone decides to go on holiday for a week and it's complete chaos

Pierre Marshall

incidentally, hostel in Enshi was also full, think I've learned how difficult it is to travel in China during the national holiday

thoughts on Enshi: it is roughly equidistant between Chongqing and Yichang, has a train station, otherwise not much else to see

in Enshi, small town, mobile internet cut off so found an internet cafe

Pierre Marshall

really hoping it doesn't rain though

Pierre Marshall

youth hostel in Yichang was full so I'm sleeping on a roof, much better than trying to sleep on the floor of the train station

the building next door to my dorm is a robotics lab, went in today, one room has rows of 3D printers & students building CAD models
