day 122: [北京 (Beijing)] = 0km

Sunday - no passport applications today.

So basically all I did was hang around at 小黑 (xiaohei)’s place:

The poor guy had been working heaps of overtime the nights before.

I was pretty tired as well, but I somehow managed to get myself to go out for a stroll around my old neighborhood:

My friend with the DVDs was still there:

“Man, you back already?” - or so were his words.

I stocked up on action movies and headed across the street to get some fruit:

“Hey, haven’t seen you in a while! My, look at yourself now - what’s with the beard?”

They all seemed to remember me. How nice.

I got a water melon from 海南 (Hainan) - very sweet and very expensive. And I got six apples.

Later that night, 小黑 and me ordered some food and watched movies:

Hanging out there in the lounge, it actually felt like I had never been gone.

There was still an unsolved problem though: my foot.

Someone had finally come up with a treatment that sounded reasonable, so I gave it a try:

“脚癣一次净” (”instant cure to athlete’s foot”) - thirty minutes of soaking and a few moments of sheer pain (even if it looks pleasurable - it’s not).

Now I hope the infection has been eradicated, annihilated, wiped out, and blasted into oblivion.

Wait until you see the picture of my foot later.

Soundtrack: Earth Crisis - “Born From Pain”
