So I'm up at 3:30 in the morning and for some reason have some crazy thoughts flowing through my head... which may be the norm for me i don't know.. define crazy thoughts..
Anyways, after writing my blog the question i'm still getting asked most is what it was like on the 13 hour standing class train ride of doom. So after long, careful thought I have come up with a perfect game you can play at home in order to fully experience what it is like to be on a China train. I call it Coreys Fun China Train Game! You don't need much just a trip to a local printing place and a good patient friend. Only 5 steps to it. So instead of explaining my experience to anyone anymore you can now all do it from the safety of your own homes.
Requirements:
1-3 very good friends
5-10 giant cardboard cutouts (for the full experience over 200 will be required but 5-10 will suffice for simulation)
a meter stick or measuring tape
an area of your home without a T.V on, a painting or any sort of eye candy. The more soul-crushing the surroundings the better.
Step 1:
-Find full body pictures of Asian people (preferably chinese but they are all alike). The more irritable they look the better. Next you must find a place that will do full life size cardboard cut outs and print off at least 5-10 full sized asians. Expenses are the responsibility of the main player of the game and not the friend participants.
Step 2:
-Find 1-3 friends that would be willing to spend 13 hours in your house. They are free to eat or drink as they please and may do whatever they want when not performing duties. 3 works best because they can go in shifts.
Step 3 (Setup):
-Measure a spot in your house approximately half a meter (50cm) square.
-Place the Asian cardboard cutouts around the square. Get them as close as possible. Leave no room to move within the square or move out of the square. Only the friend participants will have the ability to move freely in or out of the square.
Step 4:
-Tell your friends to come step over you or try to knock you over the second you ever look remotely comfortable. This includes closing your eyes, crouching, sitting cross legged with your head down or any attempts to sleep whatsoever. The moment they witness this they must come walk overtop you if you are crouching or sitting or push you aside if you are standing. If they let you sleep even 5 minutes they have failed. Make these rules very clear before beginning.
Step 5:
- Stand in square for 13 hours
That sounds like a real christmasy type game son...where do I get one???

Movies are also a source of inspiration to many. There are many people in this world who have been inspired by movies to do something big in their lives.
