7.22, Wuhan to Huangshan
Leaving Wuhan this time was much harder than I thought it would be, and I thought it was going to be unbearable.
I have fallen in love with many things in Wuhan; the Pathfinder hostel, the people who live and/or work here, the hectic traffic, even at times the scorching heat. I long ago resolved to come back, maybe in a year. Maybe two.
But of course, things always change.
I never expected to come to Wuhan.
The first time I came, I was almost immediately put on a bus to Wudang Shan, and I never expected to come back.
I certainly never expected I'd now be planning to come back with the phrase "ASAP" in mind, on the slim chance that one person here might be happy to see me again.
To be honest, there are many other reasons for me to come back to China, and I have long since decided that it's what I want to do; it was just a matter of when, how, and for how long. But this sense of intensity and focus is new, and a direct result of one person.
Yes, I am a total sap.
