day 40: 榆次 (yuci) = 0km

Nothing happened today.

I got up late and looked at the poster on the wall in front of my room: a handsome couple making love on the beach at sunset.

I brushed my teeth, then I went to the local Internet place and stayed there basically all day.

At around 3pm the place went down because there was something wrong with the power supply.

A lot of people left. Others waited.

I didn’t leave, and I didn’t wait either.

I just sat there and cleaned my lenses.

Then the power came back on.

Such is life.

PS: Just as I’m writing this the hotel where I’m staying went black, too. Power-off, time to sleep.

No more wise-cracking.
