Hard sleeper train car

The hard sleepers are pretty good. They have a thin mattress (but comfortable enough), and they provide linen. There is no door between the bunks and the walkway, so they turn off the lights at 10 pm. The track from Nanning to Kunming (which, apparently, I have been misspelling as "Kumming") was bored through a mountain range, so it appears as a straight line on the map. I woke up sometime in the morning, in the dark, and after a few minutes, we came out of a tunnel and it was bright outside. We had been in the tunnel all morning.
