Damn things have changed a lot. I lived in Wuhan '00-'03 and I think the only two people I knew with personal vehicles were the president and vice president of the college.

It's been wild seeing Wuhan of my childhood vs today. Some things are constant, like a guy eating 豆皮 with grain alcohol at 7 am on a weekday (for some reason) or 江汉路 being absolutely packed or the constant stream of tourists at Yellow Crane Tower. 光谷/Optics Valley going from a backwater to a huge commercial/nightlife/student area. Fresh running tracks along basically every lake in the city (which is quite a few). The air's cleaner, the streets are greener, basically everything has improved.

I am really impressed, I think I only saw blue skys a couple of times in the city. I really hope I get to go back and see how awesome it is now.
