When I woke up I realized that I was alone again – Zhu Hui had taken the last train home to Shihezi the night before, because he had class today.
I didn’t envy him for having to do martial arts exercises after yesterday’s rampage.
Anyhow, I had a tiny bit of suffering ahead of me as well, if I wanted to leave my tiny room in the gas station…
…walk to the intersection…
…then past the highway…
…and towards the city, looking for a decent hotel to spend a few days:
I ended up taking the first room that had internet access, and I didn’t even haggle at the reception. I was too tired.
The rest of the day was very calm: I cut my blisters and applied some disinfectant, then I ordered food up to my room. I postponed all my social obligations – Zhu Hui and Uncle Shen had introduced me to some good friends of theirs in this city, but I was too tired to go out and see them.
That night, I was looking at the pumping units of the oil town of Dushanzi ็ฌๅฑฑๅญ:
They seemed just like a miniature version of a big city skyline. Mesmerizing.
I was going to apply for my visa extension at the city police of Kuytun tomorrow. Maybe I could go out to see my new friends after that?
Little did I know how much I would need them very soon.

That skyline looks quite unreal…small cities are full of surprises.

Not a fan of foreshadowing. Not a fan… Keep up the good work!

Hi Christoph, nice to see how well you are progressing and how you’ve got some company along the way, must be nice to have contacts over there.
Will you be heading towards Yining and venturing into Kyrgyzstan? Time permitting of course.
