Travel woes

The news just told me that about 170,000 people are stranded at the train station in Guangzhou. Severe weather throughout China has caused huge travel delays leading up to the New Year. Here's more information: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7212823.stm

I'm supposed to be on an 11AM train to Guangzhou tomorrow morning, but I'll be going into a different station than the one people are stranded at.

Update! I didn't go today (Tuesday), after some confusion during which I thought they told me not to come because of severe weather. Weather is supposed to be worse tomorrow, but I'm going anyways, if the trains run. Should be interesting. I'm even getting my own hotel room, since the Expert Room, Guangzhou Edition, isn't ready yet. (And what does that mean??) I am extremely relieved about this because the rooms there aren't heated, and it's in the 40s. I hope that the weather will have warmed up significantly by late February, when I actually start working there.
