All Aboard the Midnight Express



All Aboard

We are taking an overnight train from Shanghai to Beijing. We have all the cabins on the train booked except for one. So it should make for a fun night.

All types of games are being played: Poker,Mafia, and Spades.

Poker -- I made a little money. Not enough. It seems like everyone wanted to give their money to Jon Venuto.

Spades -- Funny! Way too funny for me. I had to school them on how to play with the Big and Little Jokers. Can you believe that ? They didn't even play with the Deuce of Diamonds as a trump card. Nevertheless, I explained to them the seriousness of spades in certain households.
