day 109: 渭南 (weinan) = 0km

Yesterday had me going through some moments of undignified, intense stomach-unrest, so today I was going to stay in.

I got a room on the 6th floor in a hotel with an elevator.

Well here’s the thing: The elevator was right next to my room. I could hear it whenever it moved; up and down, down and up it would hum, and in between the ups and downs this annoying bling-sound would echo in my head everytime the door opened.

Well anyways I went to sleep eventually, and I slept until 11 in the morning and then looked out the window:

It was then that I realized that I was about to get seriously unhappy.

So I evacuated myself from my room and got into the elevator, and then - bling - there I was on the bustling streets:

There were these paper notes around where people were offering their services, mostly about cell phones:

Buy, sell, repair, or get a calling card - it’s all happening here:

Well, someone else was handing out vouchers not far from that place, so I walked over and grabbed myself a food coupon:

The rest of the day I spent reading and having burgers and fries, soft drinks and sundaes at a fast food chain restaurant I knew only too well.

I had worked there before, a long time ago, on the other side of the planet.

Ah, good old times…

…

Oh yeah, lest I forget:

Enjoy!
