Departing from Tai Shan train station
Failing to secure even a hard seat, we took our chances on a stand by ticket, hoping to upgrade to a sleeper once on board. But just in case we won't succeed, we bought these handy little chairs. Unfortunately, there wasn't even space to stand, let alone lounge on our folding chairs. Fortunately, however, Alek persevered and with some tricky maneuvering he secured soft sleepers.
