Combine the 2 and that should keep me occupied for the trip.
Is there a plug for my laptop in the dining car?
What is MIFY?
Another FTer actually schooled me on this term; I had referred to it as a "router" previously; it is basically a device that provides internet only using a WCDMA SIM that lasts for about 4 months @ y300 (as long as you don't go too crazy with the data). Why on earth don't you have a phone in China? When you come to Shanghai, I'd be happy to hook you up with one. The trains have many power outlets.
