food - the best so far on the trip

since we were close to the Pakistani boarder we found a good Pakistani restraint. here you can see 1. potato and zukini curry 2. cauliflower curry 3. Chapati (thin bread) 4. Salad 5. (not shown) yogurt. we eat there several times. the best way we found to order something is to say "vegetables not same-same as yesterday" we got a different Delicious dish every time.

this man is making hand made noodles similar to spagetti

steet food - this is a booth selling a soup from sheep-heads. we didn't feel like eating it :)

breakfast is the hardest meal of the day. if we cannot find western food then we usually skip it. in Kashgar we found coffee and Cinnamon roil for Yaron and Muesli with Yogurt for Hagit at Caravan Cafe

Lamb KABABS - each one costs 0.12UDS or 0.5NIS

but the BEST food is the one Hagit makes herself. here she is makeing pasta with 3 kinds of mushrooms. (the supermarket had meny kinds of mushrooms for almost free). the geusthouse in Urumqi had a kitchen we could use. we also made a good omlete and salad for breakfest and SHNITZEL with mashed pototos the next day

riding the train once more

train stations here are not your ordenary one rail station. they are more like airport terminals with trains leaving on 3 or 4 diffrent levels. this is Urumqi's station. notice the arabic writing next to the chinese

riding the train once more

on the way to Kashgar we got 2nd class tickets which are always crowded but managed to change to a small 2 bed private room for free. it was just like 1st class but without the door.
