As the wheels on the train go round and round



The railway staff promote products for sale, during the train trip from Shaoxing to Shanghai. As the train rolls on it's 2 - 3 hour journey, the railway staff come through the train offering drinks, noodles, and fruit. Then they do slick presentation promoting a rang of products. One of the products is a torch (no batteries - is powered by hand - almost winding it up, so that it provides the power to turn on the LED light. They torch was great. I bought one.
There were toys and toothbrushes also on display - and many people purchases on the trip TO Shanghai, but the same demonstration on the return journey, two days later did not produce any sales.
It does break the journey - adds a little humour to the trip!
