Class was dismissed so I walked out of the building and started walking towards the tour bus that was around 10 or so minutes away. On my way, I saw a hotel with a red sign that read: 廣州-廣州 (Guangzhou-Guangzhou). It was in a rather open space, perhaps it was in an unoccupied parking lot.

I got to the bus when I realized that I had forgotten some things. I knew for sure I had left my sweater in the classroom and had the sense that there was something else but was unable to figure out exactly what at the time. We had about 15 minutes left until the bus was to depart, but this was important.

I ran as fast as I could through the students that were swarming from the opposing direction. Thankfully my legs carried me through back to the school. When I entered however, I was met with a menu of the classrooms instead of being able to walk to one myself. I frantically tried to recall which one was the English classroom and thankfully I got it right on the first try.

I retrieved my sweater and along with it found 4 passports: one that I currently hold and my three old ones.

Before I finished running back, I was overlooking a farm that I was tending to with past friends.

“I like how the carrots were all burned away”, one friend commented.

I watched them start to replant the carrots as they cut the ones they had left into large chunks and stuck them into the dirt.

((Hotels are becoming a really prevalent theme in my dreams…))
