Heres what the seats look like, I sat down next to a window, and soon after a young girl in a very short skirt carrying a big handbag comes and asks me if the seat next to me is taken.
She spoke great English, and told me she was a student and was very surprised to find out that I was an Australian in China for a holiday, because surely if you live in Australia you would never want to leave.
Of course, she then starts with the 'where are you staying', 'do you want me to show you around?', 'do you need a place to spend the night?', 'do you want a girlfriend?' routine.

I knew it was coming, but she maintained her student routine for a good 30 minutes before she thought she had won me over. I told her I needed to go to the bathroom, which I did, and kept walking to the other end of the train.
