Not what I expected

My vacation plans were canceled. The school had to take everyone's passports to the police station so they could get residence permits. The school doesn't have mine because I am only staying a semester but my friend who I was suppose to go to Hainan with didn't have his passport which meant he couldn't board an airplane which meant we couldn't go on our vacation.
I am disappointed but these sort of things seem to frequently happen here in China. Bad karma? I don't know. Maybe I can spend this time getting karma points.
Although I am upset, I've been having a good time here with some friends - we go on mini-local adventures. I've also had a lot of time to think about where I am and what I've learned.
This is a clip from a movie called Waking Life. The part about "the holy moment" really stuck out to me when thinking about living in Wuhan.



A lot of these happen here - maybe because of the language barrier or just constant curiosity.

I'll be making another post this weekend of pictures from my Mo Shan adventure.
