Things you find in the market
This is a strewbarry drink but what are the fungi things floating arround? Hi guys
I (
Hagit ) have decided to share with you my thought and feeling after a month on the road in order to help you understand a little more about the experience that we are having; the happy times and the difficult ones 。
getting ready to the trip the months of mental preparations before the trip, both by Yaron and by our friends helped me adjust to the idea of leaving everything behind and going to a long trip for the first time in my life 。
I was a little scared but knowing Yaron has traveled before gave me comfort 。
relationships many people warned me and prepared me for many fights and argues with Yaron " it isn' t easy to travel for long time together。。 " " you will wont different things" " don' t worry about fighting - you will argue - just like at home" 。 well, as for now , we still haven' t fought and since back home we don' t argue either it isn 't surprising 。actually - I really enjoy traveling with him; I am glad

pigions for sale in the Turpan sun to have this amazing experience with him. Yes, it can be a good test for relationships, we are taking it easy, try to do what fits us both and don't argue on nonsense. For now- it works great for us. We are a good couple- maybe we should get married 😊 。 the only thing that has changed between us is that we began to discuss our digestion systems and toilet outcomes. we NEVER shared this information before. The toilet is a main issue here and we disccuss it a large portion of the day 😊
finding a place to sleep after every long bus drive or train, comes the moment in which we get of and now have to find a place to sleep for the night 。 It sounds easy, but。。。 "life is like a box of chocolate - you never know what you are gonna get 。。。" Yaron has learned the right way to do this - he sends me upstairs to check the room 。 So I will not be able to complain later 。。。 many times the room stinks , the toilets are located right under the shower , there is

classic spieces photo...we acctually found a spice we didn't know befor. later we had it in some soup and decided we didn't like is (sorry - no way we can have the words to explain the taste...you got to be here to try) " PATERET" everywhere , the sheets are dirty and so on 。。。 most of the times, I block it out of my mind and accept the room。 At night we pull our sleeping begs out,and comfort ourselves by saying " it is only for one night 。。。". The only other big problem is that many times we get only 2 small beds that cannot be connected and 2 cannot sleep on a single bed (we tried).
living out of a bag The next thing after accepting a room in the hotel/guesthouse is to empty the big bag on the floor just because the towel has found its way to the bottom of the bag 。It isn 't that annoying but when you wake up in the morning and have to pack it all back again (every morning when traveling from place to place )it can be frustrating sometimes 。。
Adventures My father calls us the "China expedition team". It is a great name for what we are doing. Everyday is a new adventure. Things that look simple to you like- buying bus/train tickets, ordering food and better yet - get the

in Turpan we finaly found real (central Asian) bread fresh from the tabbon same as you ordered, are difficult and complicated around here… we use the phrasebook but it is still funny to order vegetable soup and to get only Chinese cabbage in water. Someone told us to smile when it happens and don't get mad- so we try to follow his suggestion..
How do we know the place is good? if the room doesnt stink we lick the town. if the food doesnt appear after 2hr then it was teasty. if the park we just paid for has clean toilets then the park is buitiful!
For conclusion I enjoy the trip like nothing I can compare it to. We are doing amazing stuff, being in amazing places, eating local food and hope to not see it again too shortly (if you know what I mean). And above all - being together, getting even closer to each other, developing the intimacy you get after being a long time together and having many excitements together.

A word from Yaron What Hagit is saying is that it is a lot of work bringing you such nice pictures. but
as the saying goes
a bad day fishing is better then a good day in the office
