Snippets of the trip


- WP, HP
Over the course of the journey, we met several parties who were travelling as well and there was a common scenario:
Wife plans for the trip (WP)
Husband pays for the trip (HP)

- Where to go?
She: I've been deciding where to go in Beijing for the last 2 days. How about you choose a destination today?
He (jubliantly): Sure,let's visit xxxx...blah..blah
She: Oh, why not go yyyy then...blah..blah
He (assertive): But xxxx is a must-go because...blah
She ( even more assertive): yyyy is definitely more interesting than xxxx....blah
Yap, you all know - we went to yyyy in the end because it more 'interesting'

- Coke or Water?
During a stop at the station along our train journey from Mongolia to Berlin:
She: i'm very thirsty.
He dashed out from the train, ran more than 200m along the platform in the cold and came back with a big bottle of Coca-cola.
She: Coke? But I'm thirsty and I need water.
He: But u like coke and hate drinking water
He had learned not to argue with Her.
A few days later and at another stop during the same train journey:
She: I'm very thirsty.
He dashed out from the train, looking frantically for a drink kiosk and finally came back with a bottle of mineral water and with sactisfaction and a sense of achievement:
She: Water?
He: Yup, I thought you're thirsty?
She: Yes but I feel like drinking Coke now...

- Men = Boys
In Berlin after a hard day of shopping, while climbing up a long flight of steps:
She: There's no way that we can cover so many places every day if we had to bring a kid. We will have to reserve at least one day to bring him to some children's places like disneyland or Lego land.. (interrupted by him)
He (suddenly eyes widen and full of vigour): There is a Lego land in Berlin?
She: Yes (pointing to a billboard ahead)
He (jubliantly): So, are we going?
She almost fell from her steps....
