Sleeper bus

China is crazy.

I'm currently laying on the top left bunk of an overnight bus to Shangri-La, a Chinese city that decided to rename itself to bring in tourist dollars. Or yuan, as the case may be. It's working.

There are three rows of bunk beds (only the middle is fully visible in the photo), each about the width of a person and approximately 5 feet, 5 inches in length. I put my feet against the end to measure. They're surprisingly comfortable, fully padded and air conditioned. We haven't started moving yet, but so far this is beating the he'll out of the overnight bus from Delhi to Dharamsala.

Thankfully I have a window on one side. At least I have something to snuggle up against. I can't imagine sleeping with metal railings on both sides of a top middle bunk.

  1. After the overnight rides I took with you in India, this looks like the LAP OF LUXURY to me. (Did I mention I am jealous of your adventures in China without me?)
