Blogs from Langmusi, Sichuan, China, Asia

The hills were alive with the sound of me struggling up them Okay so last night we did't make it to the disco, in fact we didn't even make it out for dinner. 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 the heater in the room, but we did have electric blankets. We agreed to the extra charge for the chance of a hot shower but the hot water would be ready at exactly 8pm, so we had to be there, especially considering they fired it up just for us. So after writing yesterday's blog it was ... read more

Um 7.40 Uhr gings morgens los Richtung Langmusi. Ebenfalls ein kleiner Ort, in dem ich eventuell ein Horse-Trekking 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. Mussten dann alle austeigen, und der Beifahrer versuchte aus einer Pfuetze Wasser zu schoepfen um den Motor abzukuehlen. Nach einer halben Stunde, mit immer noch genausoviel Rauch, stiegen wir dann aber trotzdem wieder ein, drehten um und fuhren in die naechstgelegene Stadt zurueck. Dort stiegen wir um und fuhren dann mit einem anderen Bus weiter nach Langmusi. Dort angekommen checkten wir im Langmusi Hotel ein und begaben uns auf die Suche nach Leishas Restaurant, wo ... read more

Friday August 18th We knew we had until 8AM to cancel the trek if it was raining, if we didn't do it before that we would have to go even if it rained. 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. This had to be the best breakfast I've had in my life I'm serious this stuff is great. I love it. Our trek starts at 10AM so we killed time in an internet cafe. By that time it started raining quite a bit which was quite annoying. We went to the office and asked if we could leave a bit later, hoping the weather would improved ... read more
