Three's Company

Caroline and I just picked up another cyclist. His name escapes me, but he's french and roughly the same age as me. This mean I will be traveling to Pakistan with two people from France. He has been traveling for a year bicycling from France to China. I start my trip in two days, its very exiting.

Also, last night I went to hang out with some Japanese friends of Carolines that she had met in Lhasa (Tibet), who happen to be in Kashgar. After we had sat with them a while they said a friend/travel companion, who was at their hotel, would be arriving soon. When he showed up, it turned out to be Hiro, the Japanese man I hiked Tiger Leaping Gorge with. Also, a Korean man we mat at the table that night had been traveling with some french friends of Carolines by chance and was staying with them at a hotel in Kashgar. I have constanstly run into the same people over and over again in my travels. I believe this is a testement to the fact that the pool of people traveling the way I am is not very deep and that they all have the Lonley Planets guide to China.

I'm off to go eat some Uyger food. Bye.
