Tag 213 (China): Ruhetag in Kashgar (alles ist neu … vieles jedenfalls)
A wander around Kashgar is really all there was to things today. And it is an interesting town. Although it must have lost much of what used to feel like. It is a city with big streets and lots of neon signs. And some old doors …
I will let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part. I tried looking for the old parts of town and just got lost there for a while. And they are certainly the most interesting of places.
Suffice it to say that I felt somewhat lost here and had my first moment of pushing the limits. This one came really fast - but I don’t get any of the signs any longer and communication is somewhat difficult. And it won’t be getting any better over the next few weeks as I am heading along the Taklamakan I guess. But things turned around quickly. I went to a little alley and saw tons of food stands there. I dug right in and when I left I was thinking that this will be a really interesting time here … I am sure that good things are in the offing.
There were lots and lots of wedding ceremonies today …

Hi Markus,
Dein Erlebnis mit dem Fahrrad in Sary-Tash ist Pech. Was kann man daraus lernen? Sich die Leute vorher besser anschauen? Das Fahrrad mit einer Kette abschliessen? Ich weiss es nicht, aber man kann sich nicht gegen alles Mögliche auf so einer Reise schützen. Du gehst ein Restrisiko ein und bezahlst dafür. Zum Glück nicht allzu viel, schlimmer wäre es bei Diebstahl gewesen.
By the way, was machst Du eigentlich mit dem Drahtesel, wenn Du Dich in Städten bewegst? Im Hotel abstellen? Auf’s Zimmer nehmen?
salut
Wolfgang
Good luck for China, jetzt kommt der Winter.
