      So many people with mobile phones. The coverage seems seamless along this rail line in Nei Menggu (Inner Mongolia). How good the coverage is up in the mountains or out in the desert, I don’t know. It seems as if nearly every other person in this hard sleeper has one. There’s no status any more, it’s just a utility.
