We were locked up. In the hotel. When we checked into the hotel we asked the question of hot showers and the reply was that they were not available unless we paid an extra 5yuan each then they would fire up the heater. Also not available was http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Sichuan/Langmusi/blog-227001.html Another day spent mostly in transitOkay so we went to the disco again last night but unfortunately were not treated to any singing however both Pierre and I were propositioned or so we think...But the real story comes after we left the disco and got back to the hotel.

Unlike most other places in the Far East it's illegal to overfill buses here and this seems to be enforced by the police with some degree of rigour. However it doesn't stop drivers from cramming in another couple of passengers if possible it just means that whenever a police car is seen or when appro http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Sichuan/Langmusi/blog-171445.html Leldepiecelamies shorit ljoti agri plks.06.00 lai dotos uz auto staciju.

Today morning we woke up late 10am and were surprised to see that it is snowing outside the whole village was white. This could be nice if it wouldn't mean that the bus can't leave the village. After 5 sunny days here and being the only ones who stayed here so long we rather http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Sichuan/Langmusi/blog-144588.html Um 7.40 Uhr gings morgens los Richtung Langmusi. Ebenfalls ein kleiner Ort in dem ich eventuell ein HorseTrekking machen wollte. Im Bus hab ich einen Kanadier kennengelernt mit dem ich auch die naechsten 5 Tage verbringen sollte. Nach ca. 2 Stunden Busfahrt fing es ploetzlich zu stinken an. Rauch kam aus dem Motor und alles war innerhalb von kuerzester Zeit vernebelt.

It wasn't raining when we woke but it was cloudy rainy weather. We walked around but decided not to cancel it as we hoped it would get better. We went to Leisha's and I had the shaksooka.

I was feeling slightly but not greatly better than the days before so I hoped I was on the way to recovery. My plan for the day was to take the 3 hours bus ride to Songpan and then do nothing except to relax and recover. Songpan is a base for horse trek and contrary to Jiuzhai http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Sichuan/Langmusi/blog-82509.html After a hardsleeper's sleep on the nighttrain from Xian to Lanzhou this thursday the 22nd we quickly continued with a REALLY bumpy busride to Xiahe at the east end of the Tibetan plateu moving up and down green mountains and valleys. The people changed character along the way from muslim to more and more tibetan. After many holes in the ground and some amazing views we arrived to the small town o http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Sichuan/Langmusi/blog-20790.html We loved Langmusi Six hours by bus from Xiahe it is a tiny remote village nestled between alpine scenery and grasslands. The setting was stunning and the whole village had a real lsquowild westrsquo feel about it. It was even higher then Xiahe at 3500 meters above sea level and is on the border between Sichuan and Gansu Provinces. The impact of tourism was even less noticeable then Xiahe th http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Sichuan/Langmusi/blog-18246.html
