... Tibetan monasteries apart from anything I'd ever seen! Predominantly white in colour, with building upon building all interspersed together with chortens, stupas at varying levels, there's a fascinating spiritual presence the minute you enter the area. We visited the NgamCho Khang chapel first and passed the debating courtyard, where the tradition of hand clapping is no longer heard. Then, above the white chorten, we visited the red mausoleum of Tsongkhapa. There's ...

... it. The first came when I was one hundred percent sure that the school had forgotten it was Christmas. I knew that the cities End of Year Dance was on the evening of Christmas Eve but no one had mentioned it to me. I only knew as I had seen several female teachers return to school still clad in their beautiful tight silk dresses during the day. I asked several students' whey they were dressed so. They told me that ...

... of the guys decided what the next step would be. Eventually it was decided that we would slowly drive about 10 miles down the road to the next rest area. We made it without anymore flames thankfully. The rest stop wasn't really much of a rest stop - yet. It was still under construction. It was more of a giant gravel parking lot.

In the bathroom you can buy underwear....I think it is like 7 dollars =)...no I did not buy any. After dinner we thought it was due time to do some drinking so we went to the bar area of this city and had a few drinks ...

... next day, we hired a van to go to the high mountains. On our way, we saw the first snow mountain along the road. It was so near that it seemed towering over us. On the entrance to the senic spot, I hired a porter to the monastry where we would spend the night. It was a hard but nice walk. When I arrived at the monastry, it was beautiful with a crystal clear river winding along some meadows. Then we hiked to another ...

... to 68 Yuan. Why complain. The hotel was new and most things worked pretty well. Even the persons shower above us worked well as it dripped though our roof into our bathroom. For 68 Yuan a night, who cares! We headed back to the 'what we thought was the West Bus Station' to see about the caves we were to visit the following day. When we arrived we were told to go to the West Bus Station. HHHHhhhhhmmmm, we are ...

... with poplars when the channel is underground. The air was pleasantly cool underground, so we recovered sufficiently to proceed to the next site, the famous Emin Minaret of Turpan, Out of town the other side, along an irrigation channel which look like it has just been turned on for the day, and people are washing, watering and generally enjoying the coolness in the afternoon. The minaret dates from 1777, and is beautifully proportioned in a tapering curve ...
