Thirty-five days into the trip, we are in the same country as Fogg: China.
We arrived in Shanghai by train from Xi’An. Our next stage is to get from China to Japan by ferry. Getting onto this ferry will be the last major uncertainty for the trip. Once we are in Japan, we will board a ship to take us to North America where we will have more familiarity and language advantage.
In Hong Kong, Fogg and Passepartout are separated due to the scheming of Inspector Fix. To keep Fogg from learning that the ship, the Carnatic, is leaving early, Fix gets Passepartout drunk and leaves him in an opium den. Despite this, Passepartout manages to board the Carnatic bound for Yokohama, Japan. Fogg learns his ship has left without him and must find another way to get to Yokohama.
