Answer
A
- instant noodles → he bought a lot before leaving Beijing and ate them in the mornings
- no lingua franca → there wasn't one (not even English!)
- drawing pictures → one of the ways they tried to communicate
- a bunch of kids → on the platform at the first stop, yelling for gum
B
- fellow travellers → a Russian and two young Chinese guys.
- roast chicken → the Russian guy shared one on the second day
- chewing gum → he brought some, because someone told him it's useful to have to either give to kids or sell
- a kid on his own - away from the group of kids → he gave the kid all his gum and chocolate
