Lanzhou
Someone had lost his pig:
Can’t see?
Take a closer look:
Eagle-eye Chris never lets a dead pig go unnoticed!
…
I was so happy I would finally make it to the city today:
– new shoes!
– chocolate!
– a shower!
– broadband!
– a laundry!
…
The road was long and winding though:
And then the city appeared in tiny steps, little by little, first some suburbs:
Then some more countryside:
…and some more of the in-between:
Then, after another curve, there it was:
The city.
The last time I had come to Lanzhou was two years ago – by train.
I remember thinking: compared to Beijing, this place seems like some hinterland.
This time, coming in on foot from the countryside, I felt totally different.
Even though in some places it seemed as if raw nature was trying to creep in…
…but the city still seemed absolutely HUGE to me:
After a while, I found a place that I had been to before:
…only it had changed quite a bit:
I walked into a beautiful glaring evening:
…and then wandered from hotel to hotel, trying to find the one perfect place to rest my ill-treated body for the next five days:
After a while, I found one.
Welcome lazy days!!

Echte Schweinerei, wo die überall ihre toten Tiere entsorgen.
Und von wegen eagle-eyed, in 5 Jahren wirst Du die Zeitung nur noch mit ausgestreckten Armen lesen können. Datt is dann die Kehrseite von die Medallje.
Lass es bloß langsam angehen mit den neuen Stiefeln. Neue Ausrüstung gleich im "Ernstfall" benutzen kann ganz schön nach hinten los gehen. Aber beim aktuellen Zustand Deiner Füße kann es eigentlich nur besser werden.
Genieße deine Pausentage.
是光亦是暖

是光亦是暖: 我看地图好像我绕了太远!

Hi, I attented your presentation of slide Feb. 26 2014 at Pisa, It was very interesing and I was very exiting, because I was from Lanzhou! It was pity that I could not talk to you more not knowing your this experience before. You are a hero!
