So, it turns out I have made my first mistake. I thought I would be flying to Hunan today, but I accidentally booked for next month instead. I've fixed it and will be flying out tomorrow, and it does mean I get an extra day here.
So today I took it early. I went to the Muslim area and ate a ton of street food and browsed the wares. It was all very chilled out and very cool.
The vibes were awesome and now I'm going to sleep off this food coma.
I also made a cool Chinese friend HeXi who gave me the cool paper cutout for Chinese new year, and wrote out her favourite poem for me. It was really sweet!! She also showed me how to write my name in Chinese (apparently along with "horse" and "mother", "ma" (as in emMA) also means beautiful girl)
Tomorrow, a flight to Zhangjiajie xx
