29 june 2007, tashkurgan

morning view from outside of our hotel (traffic hotel)
en route to tashkurgan (6hrs bus ride from kashgar)
in order to get to Pakistan, we traveled on a bus which included a stopover at Tashkurgan. the bus left kashgar at 12pm and arrived Tashkurgan at dusk, stopping outside the Traffic Hotel. we checked into a dormitory room (which was the cheapest amongst all other rooms) with Xiao Hua, a Malaysian who was traveling alone after volunteering in the Xinjiang desert race. Tashkurgan is a quiet town with a loud broadcasting station, a beautiful mountain backdrop and chilly night. the bus took us back on the road the following morning at 10am to cross the border at Sost.
