Pakistan Border

When the bus rolled into Tashkurgan I thought I made a mistake leaving beautiful Karakul Lake to come see this border town. After checking into a dorm room at the New Traffic Hotel (not sure when it was new...maybe 1980?), I wandered into the two streets that form the 4 blocks of the commercial and only active part of the city. I thought, yeah, this was a waste. It looked like just another ho hum town with a bunch of shops, a few markets, two big boulevards and a few run down hotels. Once I m...

Khotan to Cherchen

After saying my goodbyes to the Americans who were taking the trans-desert highway to Korla, I took a taxi to the bus station. My sleeper bus left at 10.30 Beijing time and it took us to 14.15 to reach Keriya where we stopped for 2 hours. I had lunch at one of the small restaurants outside the station there. The second leg of the journey through Minfeng to Cherchen took us just over 7 hours. At our stop at Minfeng I saw the 2 Americans on their way to Korla, and we said our goodbyes again. Th...

Cherchen to Charklik

Got up the next morning at 7.00 am to be sure of getting a ticket. Ian had said there was a bus for Charklik this morning but that tickets went quickly. Had breakfast outside and secured my ticket at 8.30, one of the last on the bus. After the usual security checks, i.e. x-raying the bags and passengers, and we were off for 9.00am. An english speaking Uighur in front of me told me the trip would take 5 hours. I was rather nervous on the journey as I was sat between 2 characters who looked pre...

Strangest bus journey in the world!

... we slept in our bus, going nowhere! <br><br>His alarm went off around six in the morning and he roused a few others from their sleep! Simultaneously, a row of taxis joined the bus. One by one the taxi drivers hopped out! (Oh God! What's going on here??) They each took a bag from the bus and once again disappeared. Some of the helpers jumped into a passing white van. And a strange old man passed the bus, nonchalant, but walkin backwards up the road. We shrugged off ...

Z Wutaishanu jsme vyjeli autobusem v 8:10. Cesta do Taiyuanu trvala asi 4 hodiny, vetsina osazenstva ji prospalo - i kdyz personal autobusu se to snazil narusit poustenim nejake cinske superstar neuveritelne nahlas. <br><br>Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hubenakove". Hlavne devcata si porad nemuzou zvyknout na vykonavani potreby pred zraky ostatnich Cinanek ve fronte. O zapachu ani nemluve ...

... us to drink one, two and even sometimes 3 at a time in order not to offend him. Luckily we all fared pretty well, but Matt and I were the target of much of the drinking. Maybe it was the baijui drinking the last week, but we held our liquor much better, to Mr. Cao's dismay of course. We were sort of thankful to say goodbye to Mr. Cao and were excited to go and see a ballet that we were told was happening tonight. The ballet was a ...

No where to sleep

We get dropped off at the Qingxu service station at 2:30am. There's a 24hr convenient store, we find a row of plastic seats and tries to make it until the sun comes up. We have been on the road nonstop for 18 hours, have to wait 7 more hours before we can find a bed.

Yichang and the 3 gorges

Before arriving in Yichang my son said to keep things simple in this city. As soon as we arrived yesterday we went to the concierge and asked about a tour to the 3 gorges dam. The concierge told us that we could sign for the tour right then. We did paying our 200 yuan on the spot. The only way to see the dam is via an official tour. A little later the confcierge told us that the tour would be a chinese led ...

Making Chinese Babies

Random story - Jason and I were talking about sex and China and about the naivety of many Chinese when it comes to sex and relationships (now this may sound like a put-down on Chinese but its not...WAY too many western kids know WAY too much about sex and relationships WAY too early in life - maybe a little more naivety in western cultures wouldn't be such a bad thing). Anyway while we were discussing this he tells me a story which I found ...
