On a train to Shanghai.
All around Chinese people.
Overcrowded.
Overcrowded.
People eating all sort of food and looking at me, taking pictures of me, like I would be an alien.Me standing in the corridor with a green t-shirt and red headphones. Cheesy music in the background. Poppish, Chinese, Bubblegumish.
There is a specific group of passengers who seems to be my core fans led by a woman who is taking photos together with a colored hair guy and another fat woman carrying a little baby who also laughs at me.
At the end the group of fans allows me to sit with them in exchange of pictures and another old smiling and nice lady ask me in Chinese where I am from. Obviously I don't understand but the shy guy in front of me translates and then everybody smiles and laugh (including me).
Outside endless work in Progress for the new high speed train between Shanghai and Beijing (1200 Km in 4 hours when ready).
Roads, Rails, Houses, Cities... all being built at an overwhelming speed!
