Just wanted to post this because I've been thinking about it a lot. I just got an e-mail from a friend who lives in Chengdu, but who I met in Zhongdian. They are going to teach english during the spring in Yubong, and would like me to join them for a couple of months. If I accepted and went to teach english with them in Yubong, it would mean two things, one, I wouldn't be back in the states for a total of over a year, and two, I would be in the same place long enough to have visitors. This is a long way off, and dependent on a number of factors, but I think I would really like to do it if I have the chance. For those who weren't around for the beggining of my blog, Yubong is a small Tibetan village on the Tibet, Yunnan border. It has no roads, and can only be reached by a 20km hike or horse ride. If I do end up doing this, I will post an extensive guide on how to reach Yubong from the states.
Also, while I have the chance, I should say that when I start bicycling my posts could become more scarce. They might be wrong, but according to the books and online info I have it looks like internet access will be spaced between 2 and 3 weeks in some places.
Anyways, nothing new in Kashgar.

Greetings from your Uncle Eliot and "Aunt" Leslie in the Pacific Northwest. Strange to call myself your aunt but I guess I technically am just that. Enjoying your blogging, amazing journey for you. What kind of bicycle did you find? Want details about the Uyger food! Loved the picture of the Dunes.
Take care - Leslie

I continue to read your excellent prose with envy of the exotic locals you are passing through. Your blog is a treasure. I hope the yelling is behind you. If it fits, I have heard that Tian Shi Lake is worth the bus ride if you are close these days.
If you do stay in Yubong for a spell, I dream of a sojourn.
Your Aunt Peggy and I send our best.
P.S. Yeah, what exactly is Uyger food like, lots of lamb?
