Meredith left today. I went with her to the train station to buy her ticket then we just chilled at the hostel, checking train times and chatting with all the guys we have come to consider friends. She caught a train at 4.45. Really sad to see her go and now at the hostel it seems like she will be back any time now. Hopefully we will be able to keep in contact after she goes to America.

After she left me and wayne went to find a hair dressers.

Well now iv experienced my first Chinese hair cut. Wasn't that bad really. Wayne did really well with his Chinese. He seems to engender conversations.

Nothing else really of note today. Still loving this hostel. All the people are so nice and even though I have moved into a shared dorm, the rooms are nice, the showers are clean, good pressure and hot and even though I get bitten to hell at the moment im still loving life here in Xi'an.
