5.41 p.m. - Живи и Путешествуй (Вояж) - Youth Hostel

• I arrived here around 8 a.m. I just threw my bag on the bed and slept. Very tired from train travel.
• But before arriving to the hostel, I went to see the Amour River and the Chinese river side.
• Took a look at what seemed to be the cable car construction site I want to work on. People are working on it, but I do not see heavy machinery at work.

Later -

• Waking up. I put my stuff in a secure place. I pin Paris on the cork map at the entrance and take a picture with the staff.

7.53 p.m. - Dodo Pizza place

• Finally eating a hot meal.
• Before, I met a guy, Pavel, sleeping in the same room as me. We talked a little, and understood each other thanks to Yandex Translate, mostly.

8.41 p.m. - Живи и Путешествуй (Вояж) - Youth Hostel

• Might be a good idea to stay here, instead of renting an apartment. Here, I can meet new people "at home" and have time to talk with them. For example, tonight we are a Russian, a French and a Chinese in the same room. That is the perfect situation.

11.32 p.m. - =

• Discussion with Li Guo Shun. I download WeChat, so we can keep in touch. He knows about French football, and cycling. He is 32 y.o, single, has a computer science degree. He lives in Heihe, and is here to buy Russian beauty products and sell them in China. When I get a Visa for China, I'm invited for the diner at his place.
• I put two pizza slices in the fridge.
