Asia 99        Visiting Xin Ren

Xin Ren is Edwin's Hometown. We traveled from Guangzhou (Canton) by sleeper train. The train was quite comfortable with 4 bunks to a Sleeper in 2nd classs. The first class seats were compartments but they were all booked up. Later in our travels we would switch to a narrow guage railway from Kunming to the Viet border. This is another story! It drizzled a lot in Xin Ren and here are some street scenes in the small town.

The price of umbrellas was high that day.
