Travel Taking the Subway to China

Today’s entry is on my journey back to Xi’an from Montreal.

A very long journey, perhaps as long as this entry. A voyage where I lost the notion of time, and not only because I had seen the sun set only once while two days had passed, but also because of the jetlag; there is a time difference of 13 hours between Montreal and China, but I couldn’t remember if it was clockwise or counter-clockwise, so should I substract them from the 50 hours of the journey or add them? In short, I left my hometown monday morning at around 6 a.m., local time, and I arrived in Xi’an wednesday afternoon at around 1 p.m.

I chose to fly from New York and to get there by bus from Montreal. I chose this option for many reasons one being that I had found a very cheap flight that departed from New York, the other reason being that I wanted to visit New York a bit before going back to China, even if it were only for a couple of hours.

So I walked from my house to the nearest subway station.

And here is where my 15,000 km journey all started. I especially wanted to take the subway, so I could say later on that: “I took the subway to China!”.

A 50 hour journey is awaiting me tomorrow… I’ll be heading back to China. I will first take a bus to New York, and from there I’ll fly to Shanghai from JFK airport, and then I’ll catch one last plane to Xi’an… This is gonna be a long journey; I’m already looking forward to my bed!
