Hard sleeper is good. Anything but planes, which pollute the air just as much in China as they do every place else. Hord seat is murder. Hard sleeper is good.

I think I would have been more comfortable had I been tied to the end of the train and allowed to bounce off of every railroad tie on the way there. The car was filled with every seat taken, and at least one person standing for each person sitting. People slept standing up or on the very dirty floor. There was a group of maybe high school kids who stayed up playing cards and making noise all night. Like with your experience, people seemed to eat without stop for most of the trip. When they were done, there was all kind of food garbage and wrappers all over the train car. The people were generally polite and forebearing, but in a way, I think I would have been more comfortable stretched out on the dirty floor with people stepping on me than forced into a rigid position with some kind standing/sleeping next to me, bouncing off of me with every bump. We took the 'soft sleeper' on the way back: air-conditioned, comfortable beds with TVs built in, a nice, spacious bathroom, etc. It felt horribly decadent. (by the way, I found your site via Fark.com and the piece on the bizarro ABC blocks. My girlfriend's niece had similaryly weird ones.) I took the ‘hard seat’ from Beijing to Xi’an last summer.
