Day 41 on the bicycle and we have lost complete sensation in our butts....We had big plans to finish our journey on Wednesday, but we are enjoying all the people we are meeting in Xinjiang and we have came to terms long ago that the winds are not changing direction! The only rest we receive is at night because when we stop, we are playing or demonstrating some type of skill to the kids....It honestly gives us energy and the best part is looking back to witness the chaos that ensues from kids playing with one another...This is the learning environment that educates kids how to coexist together and when we are young we don't care about the mistakes we make or how silly we look...Kids are just enjoying themselves and from the beginning of our journey our goal is to give children the privilege to play and I feel that our vision is being accomplished.... 第四十一个工作日是在自行车上度过的,我们骑得屁股都麻木了…我们雄心勃勃的想在周3完成这次旅程,尽管我们很喜欢在新疆遇见的这些朋友,我们早就对风向不报指望了,因为它从来没有改变方向!唯一能休息的时候就是晚上,因为我们停下来时都在给孩子们示范各种各样的体育技巧…这让我们充满活力,最好的地方在于回头看看这些孩子们玩耍时的快乐。在这种环境下,孩子们可以通过这种玩耍的方式学会怎样与别人共处。我们还年轻,不在乎我们犯了什么错误,也不在乎我们看起来傻乎乎的…孩子们玩的开心就好,这是从我们的这次旅行一开始就设定的目标,我们就是要让孩子们开心玩耍,我觉得我们的目的完成的很好。 Today Ho Young spoke about the butterfly effect and he is curious to see how our contributions might lead to great achievement with the children we encounter. We have shared the gift of sport and play with many people and we hope it is a platform that will lead to future success. 今天小柳同学谈起了蝴蝶效应,他很想知道我们的这次行为能给这些孩子们带来什么样的改变。我们把运动当作礼物,和很多朋友一起玩耍,我们希望这个平台可以给有助于他们未来的成功人生。 We are now in a town called Pishan and we just had dinner and played soccer with a few boys from the restaurant. We are spending the night with a family and I am basically sleeping in the living room as the two boys in the family try to figure where I came from...It just adds to the amazing journey we have experienced and we are forever grateful for the road that has lead us here...We are 350 km away from Kashgar...Going to get some rest to get ready to wrestle the winds... 我们现在来到了皮山镇,刚刚吃过晚饭,又和餐馆里的几个男孩子踢了会儿足球。我们在一个人家里过夜了,我还睡在他们的起居室里,他家的两个男孩子很想知道我来自哪里…这些都增加了我们的神奇经历,我们将永远感谢脚下的路,是它指引我们来到这里…我们离喀什只有350公里了…现在要去休息了,准备好跟大风再次过招… We met these boys along the highway and they were picking up bottles to help out their family.It was nice to be able to give something they really appreciate.... 我们在国道上遇见这些孩子,他们正在检拾垃圾瓶子以贴补家用。能送给他们一些他们喜爱的东西,让人感觉很好。 We gave this girl a couple of badminton rackets to play with when she is not busy at the family store....
我们给了这个姑娘一对羽毛球拍,希望她能在她家的商店生意不忙的时候可以玩玩。
