| From Shanghai we took a 16 hour train ride to Jingdezhen - Fun. Leaving the big city and getting to see the Chinese county side was wonderful, plus the train ride was a riot. There were no seats in the sleeper cars and the beds were 3 high on each wall, so we just hung out on our bunks, drank tea, and mingled among ourselves and the other passengers. There where a lot of families with their kids which was cool. Note one about Chinese culture. I do not know exactly how the 1 child rule works, but it seems to be great for the children. They get a lot of really positive attention and they seem really happy, not much fussing or crying. We arrived in Jingdezehn ( population 1.4 million ) How cool is Jingdezehn? The lamp posts along the streets are made of porcelain.
