Forty-two hours on a train in China {Gadling}
Nov 12th 2009 8:15PM Bill,
Chinese trains are much better than Indian trains - I could never do 42 hours on a second-class Indian train! In China, at the very least, there are windows. And no folks coming through offering chai, bananas, whatever (which actually would have been nice at times).
Lauren, I agree, which is one reason why I chose the train over the plane.

WWOOF: A cheap, eco-friendly way to travel, except in China {Gadling}
Oct 16th 2009 5:50PM MOODY75,
I'm glad to hear that you had a positive experience with WWOOF, despite not working on any organic farms! I understand that the cultural exchange is definitely a huge part of WWOOF, but the farm work is just as important to me. At any rate, knowing that it worked out for you makes me feel a bit better about (and a little more open to) the less-rural options in China.

How I keep my backpack organized {Gadling}
May 5th 2009 1:24PM Thanks for the comments.
I used to use ziploc baggies, but found that they fell apart on long trips. I still pack a few for toiletries and whatnot though.
I've always wondered about the vacuum seal bags. Are they easy to pack and unpack? And do your clothes get wrinkled? They seem great if you're not getting into them every day, but I could be wrong.
