30th December
I arrived in Changsha station very early. I'd never been before and it was not very nice compared to stations in other big cities, it looked like Yiyang! Lisa sorted me out with a taxi back to Yiyang <3 I put on a wash as soon as I arrived home then spent the rest of the day messing on the Internet or sitting in bed with my book because it was freezing!
31st December
I woke up late and was still feeling cold and lazy. I eventually got moving int he afternoon, packed for my trip and printed out what I needed. I got a taxi to Changsha about 5pm.
When I got to Changsha I found Matt and we waited for Jonny. I got dressed up for the evening but it was so cold, I ended up just back in my cords and walking boots! We went for some really good food at a small cafe on their campus, I had really missed Hunan food, then caught a taxi into town.
We first went to a bar where Jonny knew the owner. It was cool but empty and we only stayed for the drinks we'd bought at the start. We then went to another small bar which was really night and arrive with about 15 minutes to spare! There were other teachers there that Jonny and Matt worked with and there was a good group of Happy New Years when the time came! We stayed there pretty late, Matt was getting very mouthy after drinking so much but luckily people just found it funny :)
We left about 3am and went to find somewhere to dance, but everything was very closed. We ran into Jenny and Tony coming out of 4698 which was pretty random, but then decided against Soho and caught a taxi back for bed!
1st January
I slept until the afternoon and I wasn't feeling brilliant, I don't know how Matt was fine! We went to grab some food and got properly packed before leaving on our adventures about 4pm :D
We had a stop at McDonalds by the train station before catching the train, finding out bunks and spending most of the night in the warm buffet carriage :) I'd never been there before so it was interesting to find there was one!
That night we went to bed not too late, but it was a terrible nights sleep it was so noisy, I guess I was going to have one train journey like that!
