That night I tried to sleep. I travelled a long way to get there and I was exhausted from the journey. I wanted to sleep but somehow I couldn’t. Part of me was wondering if I was not being affected by the altitude, part of me was thinking that my bed at home isn’t like this. Let’s just say I had a fitful night. The room had six beds and they were all occupied by local Chinese. A few of them chatted me up, since I won’t do it voluntarily. There was this guy you biked all the way here from Guangzhou, an amazing feat in my eyes since I think the thinner air here would make it doubly difficult. Some were planning to go to different locations the next day but I my own plans, I think.

I woke up early the next day and found that the ground was still wet. It was still the rainy season in this region but the rain wasn’t that bad. I had made plans for the day and wanted to leave early. First order of business was breakfast. I head out to the side streets to find some breakfast. I found this place which serves doughsticks or youtiao 油条, I loved these. Although they are not a specialty of the place I got them anyway. While I was eating, a staff from the hostel saw me eating there. Now that made be feel good since this is where the locals eat.
