To our surprise this was a much less relaxing ride than our train rides before. The good thing about the ride was that we got to see the desert Gobi before we left Mongolia. The bad news was that it took a long time in around midnight to change the wheels of the train (we were inside the train) to adapt to the different track size in China. To make everything worse, I decided to tip over my yummy bowl of instant noodle soup and cleaned it up with my towel. The soup stained the towel and I ended up buying a beautiful 8$ towel from the Mongolian train company. What a ride!
