Off to Huangshan!

So for my last trip in China, I have chosen to go to Huangshan. Unfortunately Alex just started intensive language courses today (for ten weeks), so I am going alone. Ahhhh! I am super excited and scared all at once. I think it will be a good way to end my time here. This is what "they" say about Huangshan:

"No ordinary mountain is worth seeing after a trip to the Five Sacred Mountains; no Sacred Mountain is worth seeing after a trip to Mount Huangshan."

I bought a one way ticket, am leaving for the airport in fifteen minutes and then I think I am getting picked up to go to a Hostel near the base of the mountain. I hope. I tried calling this place and luckily the guy spoke some English but I will be pretty screwed if I run into people who do not speak any English. At least it is easier in person than on the phone. Anyway, the plan is to stay at the hostel tonight, then hike up the mountain with my bag and stay somewhere else, then I will see how things go and see if I want to come back down and fly back to Beijing that night or stay another night and then come down. Who knows. I will most likely be back by Thursday or Friday.

Ok, wish me luck and I am on my way. Check the link I provided above and then go to the bottom left where it says "Huanshan Photos." I really hope I see clouds like that. I have heard that they are normally seen between October and May, so I am on the edge. I will be very sad if I don't see them. When I think of China and Chinese art, this is what I think of.

Eeee! I am off!
