The next day, I went to my teacher to get my
train ticket.
The teacher, worried I wouldn’t get a seat,
had already used her connections to buy a
ticket for me and also arranged for someone
in the Northwest to look after me.
I had lunch with the teacher, bought some
local products in the afternoon, ready to take
to my college roommates.
On the last night, I went to bed early.
I thought I’d be sleepless, wistful, and
restless.
Surprisingly, as soon as I lay down, I fell fast
asleep.
The next morning, I left the letter with the
hotel receptionist, checked out, and went to
the train station.
