We are really enjoying our time in Xinjiang. I find the people have a tough exterior, but once you break that barrier they are really kind and loving. I didn't want to leave Qiemo because I am enjoying the culture and especially the food. We won over the man who was preparing the "Kabosas" by purchasing 30 of his excellent meat pies and he was all smiles which was a change from our first encounter.... 在新疆的这段时间很令我们享受。我发现当地人看上去不太好交流,但是当你多尝试和他们沟通后,他们会变得善良而友爱。我真舍不得离开且末,因为我很欣赏这里的文化,尤其是是食物。我们在那个卖“Kabosas”的老板那里买了30个肉饼,也终于赢得他的笑脸。 Before we left we did a little shopping and we paid a visit to the candy man. We gave him a lot of business, but this morning I found Ho Young eating M&M's for breakfast....but not to worry mom, I have an eye like a hawk and I was quick to point out that he should be eating something more nutritious for breakfast. 在我们离开之前我我们需要采购一些东西。我们造访了一个卖糖的摊子。但是今天早上我发现小柳同学把M&M’s当早餐吃…别担心妈妈,我用我老鹰一样的眼睛时刻盯着他,于是我马上指出他应该吃更有营养的食物。 There was one more thing I felt I needed before we left Qiemo and that was a hat to go with my styling jacket. I found this tailor who more his hat with such confidence, a man of great style and is quiet demeanor and his cool cat mentality attracted my business...He has a great family and I hope that I look as good as he does once I reach his age. 离开且末前我觉得有件事情得做,那就是买顶和我的夹克风格相称的帽子。我发现这样一个对他自己的帽子非常自信的裁缝,他很内向沉稳…他有一个很好的家庭,我希望在我到了他这个年纪的时候也能看着像他一样健壮。 Once we were back on the road we cycled for another 75 km and rode for a total of 135 km. We decided to setup camp right on the sand which was a comfortable sleep. I am writing from a military town in which we stopped for lunch and we are not totally sure if we are suppose to be here...We have cycled 4319 km and everyday we are getting closer to our final destination. Pray for us that everything goes smooth..Here we go! 我们一回到路上就又骑了75公里,总共135公里了,我们决定立马在沙地上安营扎寨,这样会睡的很舒服。我在一个军事小镇上写博文,我们是在这里停下来吃中饭的,也不确定我们能不能待在这里…我们已经骑行了4319公里了,每一天我们都离我们的最终目的地越来越近。祈祷我们一切顺利吧,出发了! This morning we met this family who lived in a very isolated area. The boys were really happy to see us... 今天早上我们遇见这个家庭,他们生活在一个四周无人的区域。孩子们见到我们非常开心… There are long stretches where we don't see anyone and we came across this gentlemen collecting bottles along the highway.... 又是一长段无人区,直到我们已经这位沿着公路捡废旧瓶子的先生… A boy working on his bike outside of Qiemo, Xinjiang province.
且末城外,这个男孩子正在修理自行车。

wow,wow,wow again. 30 meat pies, How can you eat all of them. Nice hat, it looks great on you. Seems the weather is pretty good in Xinjiang, Shanghai and my hometown just had typhoon.Some of my friends told me Shanghai is like a swimming pool now. Don't know it's true or not, hope Sino is okay.Oh,school put the military training off. Will you back Sino on 26th? Good luck...
