在我心里,所谓的幸福就是:两个人,一辆车,满世界的美景。还有镜头里只有我的你!记忆中盛夏的婚礼和初秋启程的蜜月旅行,随着立冬节气的到来忽然就加快脚步离我远去了,是时候静下来好好做一个记录,记录这场从认识C同学的那一天起就无比期待的旅行。 有时候觉得和C同学的那场婚礼只是个华丽丽的幌子而已,并不代表要收心开始平淡的家庭生活,而是给了我一个正当的理由和C同学一起谋划一场远渡重洋的疯狂蜜月旅行——25天,从西到东,途经22个州,血格n次清零又迫于“长征”还没结束,只得用呈现在眼前的一个个壮丽景色努力让自己回血,开过雪原和荒漠,每天日夜兼程,行程13000公里,全无蜜月该有的闲适和甜蜜。只因为某一天你眼神清亮的看住我,说了句“想去”而已。行程路线图,第一次在地图上画出来的时候自己也被深深的震撼了一下,相对这个行程来说25天真的太短了,但是为了把有限的蜜月时间充分的利用起来,最大程度的看遍美国的美景,向日葵色板官方真的也是蛮拼的!微凉的西雅图的夜晚,美剧中无数次看到的太空针塔,看到它也算是实现了我多年的夙愿熊牙公路,确实算得上全美最险峻的高速公路,一路上看遍从林海到雪原的各种美景黄石公园东北门的lamar valley,在暮色的笼罩下变得格外温柔在这样荒芜人烟、鲜有车过的公路上 把车轮陷进了路边的沙土里,手机又没有信号,当时的心情,至今都还记得 很多朋友私信我,问我关于证和行程的事,私信回复太麻烦了,关于证可以加我QQ492107016,其实美国证很好办的,至于不会说英文,我觉得问不大C同学的小小梦想,娶了老婆还是要抱着裸女照相,我真是个宽容大度、温柔贤惠的好老婆。。。出发前,我本计划着这是一次两个摄影爱好者的旅行,相互学习摄影技术,木有想到就这么变成了你爱拍照我爱笑的世俗组合关于机票:由于这一次旅行终于不像前面的若干次那样说走就走,而是有一段不算短的准备时间,所以向日葵色板官方终于能享受到提前两个多月订票的幸福感(虽然我知道很多穷游大神都是提前半年订票的),去程向日葵色板官方买的是韩亚航空的机票,从北京经首尔飞旧金山,在首尔有一天的停留时间,两人共7500rmb;然后由于C同学突然脑子一热又很想去西雅图看看,所以向日葵色板官方又买了美联航的当天从旧金山飞西雅图的机票(向日葵色板官方真的是no zuo no die的典范啊)两人共1200rmb;回程就轻松多了,买了国航从华盛顿直飞北京的机票,两人共8500rmb,虽然跟有些大神淘到的廉价机票不能相比,但是由于航程的时间还是比较舒适合理的,所以我俩对这个票价还比较满意。关于证准备去美国旅游的话只要事情定下来第一件需要考虑的事情就是证,因为美国个人旅游给的时间是一年,在这一年期限里什么时候出发都可以,所以甚至不用考虑具体的行程,只要在面时准备一份简单的行程单就可以。而且只有证通过后才好安心订机票和酒店,所以越早越好。而且证是面时当场知道结果,干脆利落。Day 1盼望已久的蜜月终于开始了,醒来的时候脸上带着超灿烂的微笑~,早早爬起来继续打包前一天晚上没收拾完的行李,然后拿上两个大箱子和三个拎包奔去C同学的单位接上最后一秒钟还在打电话交接工作的C同学,速速赶往机场,托运了行李,坐在登机口,终于可以关掉手机了,暂时忘掉各种烦恼,好好享受两个人晃荡在异国他乡的幸福感等着登机的时候比较无聊所以拍了一下特地为这次行程去做的美甲,图案都是我自己设计的,从上到下依次是汉堡包、66号公路、纽约夜景和米国国旗,事实证明做个这种美甲还是有好处的,好多与当地人之间的交流都是从他们好奇的看我的指甲开始的。([]

心灵的旅行——28天西藏、尼泊尔行 前 言多年来,一直有个愿望,就是能够去西藏看看,虽然在电视里已经领略了西藏的广遨、美丽,但那面积122万多平方公里、约占中国陆地总面积的八分之一、在中国各省区中仅次于新疆维吾尔自治区、位居第二、相当于英国、法国、德国、荷兰和卢森堡5国面积总和的神秘地区,还是想亲身去体验一下。朋友们都劝我不要到哪具有不确定因素和危险性的地方去,那里的高海拔、藏民的不友好、饮食的不习惯、气候的变幻莫测、道路的不安全等等都会给去的人有着潜在的威胁,无论人们怎样的诉说着西行的危险,都阻挡不了我要去的决心。人生无非就是两件事:生与死。生了,即意味着走向死亡,只是在从生到死的过程中,每个人的表现形式不同,每个人都在寻求着生命的长度,但生命仅仅有长度是不够的,还需要有一定的宽度。在某种意义上,向日葵色板官方每个人的生命的长度是不确定的、也是自己无法掌控的,但是其生命的宽度是可以自己支配的。我只希望在我的有生之年,能够让自己活得自由、活得充实、活得快乐、活得有意义。今年的7月终于有了这样一个合适的机会,由原始部落户外群海风发起的西藏自由行成行,且行程比较符合我的心意,我毅然决然的跟随了这支团队进藏。从7月23日出发,到8月21日回连,历经28天的游历,期间的酸甜苦辣咸五味俱全,对生命有了更多的感悟。从新浦火车站起始,经历了徐州、兰州、西宁的三次转车,沿着青藏线坐着火车去拉萨;从拉萨证去尼泊尔,到坐着尼国的直升飞机回到樟木口岸,期间享受着着尼国的自然美景、宗教文化、异国美食,承受着山体倒塌,村庄被覆盖、村民遇难和失踪的惊吓,忍耐着尼国的酷热和道路不通的焦虑;从樟木口岸沿着318国道回拉萨的途中,在颠簸的路上欣赏那沿途的如诗如画的美景时,惊闻一辆承载44位游客的旅游大巴车,在向日葵色板官方已经过去的路段上,和对面开来的越野车、皮卡车相撞,翻下十几米的悬崖,车毁人亡;在拉萨,向日葵色板官方9人乘坐着包租的两辆商务车,沿着318国道去成都。青山绿水的美景,伴随着泥石流和道路塌方,惊险的318国道伴随着两辆商务车的分别出故障;在九寨沟的静海前,向日葵色板官方为第二辆旅游大巴的翻车而痛心,为遇难的游客默哀。感谢上苍对我的厚爱,感谢爱我的人为我的祈祷,感谢西藏给我的洗礼,感谢我自己的坚强、豁达和乐观。我安全的、健康的、快乐的回来了美丽的措那湖土族第一村——互助村([]
15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----昆明 一直有着穷游云南的想法,可总是自己找自己的借口,没时间。我要为自己挤点时间出来,实现穷游云南的愿望。 预算为2000大洋,装备:背包65L,帐篷,睡袋,防潮垫,照相机,个人洗漱用品。 2011年9月9日 星期五 此次旅游,决定时间只有15分钟,决定之后直接公交奔向杭州火车南站。本想买张杭州直达昆明的火车票,但事与愿违,硬座已经没票只有硬铺。但之前已经决定此次旅游为穷游,所以决不能开头就坏了此行目的。于是买了一张杭州南到贵阳的火车票(硬座),K111次(9/91816 – 9/10 1824),24个小时,208元。 上了火车之后,对面坐着的两个人都是贵州人,聊了很多关于贵州的旅游景点,但此次目的地是云南,所以我也没记牢太多,等我下次专程穷游贵州时,再去补功课啦。聊到晚上12点,开始觉得有点困了,于是拿出睡袋,身子往里一钻,趴在桌上就开始睡了。你还别说,睡了一觉之后精神就好多了。在这里提醒大家,9月的夜晚,火车上也会有一些冷的,所以带个睡袋非常有必要,既可以保暖又可以防止着凉感冒。 2011年9月10日 星期六坐了1天的火车,终于缓缓驶入了贵阳火车站。 杭州南到贵阳的火车,经常会晚点的。我到贵阳时,火车晚点了近2个小时,原来预定是1824到的,实际2010到的。下了火车,就先去买了张贵阳到昆明的火车票(硬座),K155次(9/102241 – 9/11 0808),9.5个小时,87元。 贵阳到昆明的火车很多,我想在贵阳火车站旁边逛一逛,顺便吃顿饱餐(杭州南到贵阳的火车快餐,有点贵20元,而且还吃不饱),所以就买了张2个小时后的火车票。据说贵阳的牛肉米线非常好吃,我也就来了一份牛肉米线,味道的确不错,可能是我饿坏了吧。吃饱后,继续赶路,直奔昆明!另外,我把这次的旅游地的连接汇总了一下。15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----昆明(1)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-977286-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----大理(2)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-14980283-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----双廊(3) (本次旅游最喜欢的地方)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-14991655-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----丽江(4)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-15040479-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----束河(5)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-15062789-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----香格里拉(6)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-15081216-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----回杭州(7)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-15104252-fromuid-34887632.html15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----费用明细(完)https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-977286-pid-15116479-fromuid-34887632.html最后请大家多多支持,多给我留言和加分哟!!! 2011年9月11日 星期日 今天可是9/11事件的十周年记念日,不知美国会不会搞一些记念活动,这个我就不管了,也管不了。不过,坐在去昆明的火车上,还是有一点齐人忧天的,担心火车会不会遇恐怖袭击?7/23不是刚刚出了温州动车追尾事故嘛(当然与恐怖袭击是两码事)。哈哈,本人还是有点胆小的啦。 经过一晚上的熬夜(中间也睡了一觉的),火车最终还是顺便准点的到达了昆明站。 昆明是春城,所以花草绝对茂盛,牛必须长的强壮。来一张昆明火车站的金牛图,可惜今年的股市却一直是熊市,但我穷游途中,绝不看任何股市行情,只管玩! 昆明的过桥米线非常有名,但却不是我的喜好(因为它的配菜太多,而且都是冷的,我喜欢吃热乎乎的)。所以早餐就在昆明火车站旁边要了份牛肉米线+小笼包。 另外,昆明火车站旁边,到外是烤臭豆腐,烤玉米的小摊生意。你还别说,那个烤玉米,烤的很硬,吃的却很香,他们叫价3元,但你还价2元也能搞定的,因为他们卖给本地人都是2元的。有人说这种烤臭豆腐味道不错,我买了3元10个,但有点吃不习惯。平常虽然也很喜欢吃臭豆腐的,特别是臭豆腐炒毛豆。玉米很香,很硬。煮的玉米也品尝了,白色的玉米比黄色的要好吃! 吃饱之后,就有能量了!直奔昆明大脚氏国际青年旅社。昆明火车站到昆明大脚氏国际青年旅社,有公交64路可直达,1元,到云南日报社站下车,下车后问一下附近的居民,大脚氏怎么走就行。从云南日报社站到大脚氏走路大约10分钟不到。 大脚氏的正大门,全是三角梅,很漂亮。大脚氏的床位,很干净,8人间35元/床,有会员卡的话30元/床。非常喜欢原木的颜色,这是我住过的青旅中,最喜欢的床了。当然也有准间,我是穷游,所以要了张35元的床位(没办会员卡,办会员卡要50元,有效期1年),晚上睡得照样非常舒服(哈哈,已经有2天没这么舒服了),而且还可以跟室友交流旅游心得。住在青旅的人,基本上都是出来旅游的,老外也非常多。房间门口就是可供休息的沙发,我们经常做在这里聊天,发呆。 由于今天刚到昆明,前2天在火车也有些累,就没有出远门,只在大脚氏和周边逛了逛。大脚氏里就有不少有趣的项目,其中最有趣的就数与驴友交流旅游心得啦。这是我在大脚氏碰到的一位驴友,向日葵色板官方大家都称他为严哥,告诉向日葵色板官方不少旅游心得,而且严哥人非常幽默风趣!他准备搭车徒步去西藏拉萨。今天收到消息说他已经到了香格里拉!左边那位是严哥,照片是一圈后重回大脚氏时拍的。免费的台球桌。免费的乒乓球桌。 一楼台球桌旁边的休息桌,可以坐在这里看别人打球,打累了也可以做在这里休息。一楼休息的地方,美女正在研究旅游攻略呢。而且老外经常坐在这里阳光浴,中国人怕紫外线,比较少。驴友的衣服都晒在走廊的栏杆上,其中也有我的。昆明的阳光和紫外线特别强,1,2小就干了。 大脚氏的酒吧,多么悠闲浪漫的环境啊,我可以坐上整个下午发呆!也可以在这里学习中文,这里的老外很喜欢跟中国人说话。也可以独自一个上Wifi,发呆。 大脚氏的夜景。大脚氏的酒吧,晚上是对外营业的,所以到了晚上,敞开着大门。到了晚上,大脚氏里面还会有很多人聊天,打桌球。不过,到了10点还是12点,具体记不得了,就不能再吵闹了。只有一楼的酒吧,是通宵营业的,如果你无聊,可以一直喝酒或发呆到天亮。 2011年9月12日 星期一 睡了个好觉,养足精神后该出远门一趟了。首先去的是云南民族村啦。从大脚氏到民族村,有公交11路直达的。从大脚氏走到11路公交站,可能需要10几分钟,怎么走问一下当地人吧。 到了民族村后,公交站也变得很有特色,站顶是用稻草铺盖着的。 云南民族村: 我也留个记念: 云南民族村的商业街,跟杭州的河坊街类似,都是一些古建筑,但都是现在新建的。 抱歉,忘记问当地人叫什么塔了。同样也有很多卖特色小吃的小摊。忍不住我也买了一串,4元。味道还是不错的。 云南民族村的导游,个个都穿着民族服装。 进入民族村要门票70元,有点贵,我就不进去了。打算从民族村走路前往滇池(大概也就10多分钟的路程),离开之前,再来一个记念照。 来到滇池,居然还要门票10元。看在它不是太贵的份上就买了(也是此次云南之行的唯一一张门票,后面其它地方的门票都是100元左右的,太贵了,都没买)。滇池没有想象中那么美丽,池里都长满了绿藻,除了一眼望去是绿色外,还是绿色。后来要去的人,我都劝他们不要去。但也有几个去了,回来之后就后悔了。 我既然已经来了,也走累了,就搭了个帐篷休息起来了,在帐篷里睡觉还是相当爽的。 昆明的天也是的,刚才是晴天,过一会儿可能就会下雨,所以出门时必须随身带一把雨。你看,刚才还人来人往的,一阵雨把大家给吓跑了,幸好我的狼头帐篷是防雨的。 玩了上面2个景点后,天色也不早了,直接从滇池做公交回到了昆明火车站(大脚氏出门前,已经把床位给退了),买了昆明到大理的硬卧,K9626次(9/12 2342 - 9/13 0740),87元。晚上昆明到大理的火车有2趟,但都只有硬卧,没有硬座的。不过,87元的硬卧也为我省了一晚上的住宿费,也值了。由于2342的火车,很晚,火车站周边也被我逛遍了,就走到豪华的宾馆去免费享受一下,消磨一些时间啦。 顺便又来了一张自拍,比较爱自拍吧。 时间差不多了,就赶往去大理的火车。自此结束了昆明的旅程,接下来请看大理之行。 15天穷游昆明,大理,双廊,丽江,束河,香格里拉(杭州出发)----大理2011年9月13日 星期二 其实云南旅游,主要有2条线。一条是往西双版纳方向,一条是往香格里拉方向。往西双版纳方向的话,只有西双版纳可玩;往香格里拉方向的话,途中有大理,双廊,丽江,束河可玩,如果你还有时间的话,可以经过香格里拉前往西藏拉萨。所以权衡之后我选择了香格里拉方向,选择了前往大理。 我很喜欢大理,不仅因为金庸的武侠片,那里有着侠客的气息!而且我的老家也叫大里,只是“里”字少了一个王,但我又偏偏姓王,有把少掉的王给找回来的感觉。自从小时候知道有个大理国之后,就很想到大理去看一看。 大清早740,火车准点的到达了大理站,天才刚刚亮。虽然中国统一用北京时间,但因为大理在西南,实际上大理与北京的时差有1个小时左右,所以天亮的比较晚,黑的也比较晚。 这是大理火车站 下了火车之后,没有先吃早餐,而是直接赶往古城。大理火车站在新城,新城也叫下关。下关到古城可以做8路公交,1.5元,直达古城的。火车站出口旁边会有很多人喊你去坐出租车的,他们都会说顺路去古城的,只要15元,千万别相信,上了车你就惨了。从下关到古城坐出租车的话,大约得50大洋。 到了大理古城之后,该解决肚子问了。那天苍山门刚好碰到他们赶集,人来人往很多人,早餐小摊也有,于是就在早餐小摊那里要了碗米线(云南就是米线多啦),味道还是不错的。 辣椒这样子整堆的卖,还是第一次见到。不知道这位大叔是笑还是哭?莫非是传说中的哭笑不得?早餐的小摊这就是我在大理的第一顿早餐啦,味道还不错的 解决完肚子,准备先找个安身的地方。之前有驴友推荐住驼峰青旅,但驼峰已经没有了空床位。后来我选择了博爱路上的春夏秋冬青旅。8人间,25元/床。感觉还不错,环境很好,有无线wifi,网速很快,我没事儿就坐在大堂里面用HTC手机上网!而且一楼洗澡的地方,水很大,特别爽!2楼休息的地方,有一张大圆桌。小时候,我们老家吃饭就用这种大圆桌的。 春夏秋冬的高低床,还挺干净的。站在2楼往下看院子。红色的花是昆明的市花,叫三角梅。在大理也经常能看到这种花。就像杭州的市花(桂花)一样,在浙江很多地方看得到。一楼的休息室,可以在这里上Wifi,喝咖啡,很休闲的地方。脚下是个用玻璃隔开的大鱼池,养着很多鲤鱼,很多人经常坐在这里聊天。这张照片是清晨时分,刚刚下了点小雨之后拍的。桌子左边的玻璃房,是春夏秋冬的酒吧,右边是个小水池,里面也养了很多鱼。春夏秋冬的环境我还是很满意的,是个闹中取静的地方。顺便在一楼的小花园里留了个影。 虽然驼峰青旅没有了空床位,但我还是特意去参观了一下驼峰,环境的确非常不错,值得推荐。驼峰的外景,小桥流水一直到驼峰客栈为止,再上去就是个驼峰瀑布啦,忘了为大家拍照片了。驼峰的内景,白天可以阳光浴(我想老外特别喜欢,而且在驼峰见到的老外也是最多的),晚上可以数星星,周围还有很多花花草草。室外有个露天酒吧客栈内的室内酒吧还有自己的乐队哟。 清晨的阳光扑洒在古城的石板街上,石板上泛着青色的光芒,背靠苍山的大理古城早晨7、8点钟有淡淡的雾气笼罩,古城里面的大多数店面都没有开门,只有个别早餐铺开门迎客,来一碗豆粉加上些饵块,或者吃碗米线都是不错的选择,惬意的一天由此开始!9月的大理古城,山上积雪融化顺着古城的小渠流到古城里,走在青石铺成的路面上听着涓涓的流水声,注视这相机的目镜,开始品味这座古城。大理的城门古城又称紫城,曾先后立国南诏和大理!到了这里你就会知道为什么段誉会说大理是边陲小城了,只需要几个小时就可以逛完!清晨,酒吧一条街上人很少,偶尔能见到的也是几个学生。那我却很喜欢小雨之后的大理,这样的感觉。天一点一点亮了,人也一点一点多了。 刚才是大街,现在是小巷。还有清澈的山泉水慈祥的白族老人 很有特色的T恤小店。厚厚的城墙时光飞逝,如今的古城已经是修缮之后的样子了,我走在古城的石板街上,看着古城墙上的斑驳陆离,让自己感觉回到当年繁华的都城一样,站在城门下,凉风吹来,或许是洱海和苍山的气息吧,呼吸着很舒服!南城与北城之间,还有文献楼和五华楼,文献楼是古时官府迎送宾客的地方,五华楼则相当于古时候的宾馆!大理的古城小巷处处是画卷,拎着相机不经意间的随拍便是一副画! 在大理居住的人群----白族为主,房屋的建造风格也都是白族风格,一般为“三房一照壁”、“四合五天井”。白族人的房屋由大理石和少量彩绘点缀,加上黑白水墨画的渲染,与白族女子一样,显得各位清新淡雅。 大理是需要时间去体会的,这座古城非常安静,你会习惯性的睡到自然醒,然后拉开窗帘看着阳光洒下,伸个懒腰开始惬意的一天,我喜欢大理的酒吧,没有喧闹的音乐,有的是淡淡的咖啡,浪漫的音乐,当然更重要的是有来自四方的背包客,向日葵色板官方要一杯大理啤酒或者咖啡或者当地人自己酿的梅子酒,开始聊大家的旅行故事!你看,白天也有人在这里聊天,发呆。也可以围在一起打牌。还有大理石圆桌([]
我是一个中国援外医疗队的普通医生,爱好旅行,现在在西非几内亚工作。我把自己的所见所闻和生活体验记录了下来,希望告诉大家真实的非洲风土人情和中国医生在海外的生存状态。<br /><br /> 所有的文字和照片都发在www.12walkers.com 的《淫在非洲》专版里了,现在写了20万字,有1600多张照片,现在已经有超过10万人次的浏览,欢迎爱好生活的朋友加入我们的行列。“照片太少了......建议楼主多发PP ”<br /><br />cola,你是不是看错帖子了?1800张照片不应该算少呀。<br /> 诸位,在这里只是一个宣传,我在非洲的网速实在太慢了,不能在每个网站里都发图片,只要你们自己登陆www.12walkers.com 这个户外网站的《淫在非洲》专版,就可以看到所有的文字和1800张照片。<br /> 我现在还在非洲,还有一年多回国,我会把随笔和照片一直发下去的。非洲是一片神秘、美丽、充满苦难的地方。。。。。。。。谢谢龙井!!<br />端午节我去参观了非洲现代艺术展。其他的展品照片和艺术家的介绍都发在《淫在非洲》的第六部分里了,赶兴趣的朋友可以去www.12walkers.com 里的专版去看看。为了打发时间,也是丰富自己的历史知识,我在淫在非洲里增加了历史上的今天这个项目,每天学习一点,内容已经从第六部分开始了。6月20日是世界难民日,今年的难民日的主是:勇气。<br /><br /> “面对砍刀的攻击,逃离,光脚穿过乱石的戈壁,靠着昆虫和树根生存,直到找到帮助、饮水和保护。现在,家就是一顶帐篷,每天一点干粮,和无法遏制的希望。”——难民的生存与家园的重建,需要非凡的勇气!<br />我也很喜欢那幅画,是一位在西非很活跃的白人女画家创作的,非洲的传统文化和现代艺术都非常吸引我。非洲的雨季开始了,我们这里接连几天都是大雨不断,院子里快变成游泳池了。今天是医疗队离开祖国整11个月的日子,有4位同志今天起程回国探亲。这就是让向日葵色板官方所有男同事嫉妒得大口吐血的照片!内幕消息在www.12walkers.com 《淫在非洲》第7部分里。<br />自己对着镜子理了一个秃瓢,清爽!第一次留胡子,咱也装一回老男人。跳得过瘾,哥儿几个在旁边敲得也十分卖力。鼓边钉的铁片上挂着很多小铁环,随着鼓的震动发出清脆的响声。黑人妇女的头发又短又硬,枝枝杈杈象乱草一样,必须仔细地和假发缠在一起才能编出漂亮的辫子来。<br /> 编辫子的时候必须使劲拉紧每一根头发,再和假发缠紧,这样编出的发型才会结实有型,可以维持一个月以上。但是据说头皮会非常疼,甚至疼得睡不着觉,而且一个多月不能拆开洗头,头皮还会很瘙痒难忍。看来想要漂亮点儿还真不容易!<br />还是先前收过我钱的那位司仪比较好心,她看见我着急,就拨开跳舞的妇人们,把新娘子拉了出来......我当时就觉得眼前一亮!真是个美人呀!<br /><br />。。。。。。。具体文字和照片请看www.12walkers.com 《淫在非洲》连载第八部分。新的照片和文字一直在不断更新,都在www.12walkers.com的《淫在非洲》专版里呢,这里只是一点点节选。几内亚人晒衣服的传统,就是趁出太阳的时候把衣服、床单洗完后都摆在地上晒,在他们的想法中认为地面是干净的,其实土地中有很多寄生虫的虫卵,一些虫卵可以通过衣服钻入人体皮肤里,这或许也是这里皮肤病流行的一个原因。奔忙在城市与乡村的小公共,车后面挂上三、五个人是稀松平常的事情。医疗队已经在非洲生活了一年零两个月,我也已经写了30完字的随笔,拍摄了1万多张照片,并且挑选了3000多张在网站发表。<br /><br />全部的文字和照片都在www.12walkers.com 《淫在非洲》专版,欢迎对非洲感兴趣的朋友来看看。从首都通往杜布里卡的公路修得很不错,有的路段两边居然还有护栏。这在几内亚已经是最高档次的公路了。哈哈,感谢众位斑竹和兄弟们的抬爱,不是我抠门,只是我这边上网的条件太烂了,照片已经改的很小了,还是发得很慢,经常要熬到深夜,实在无力在各个网站上都发表全部照片,呵呵,只能委屈大家去www.12walkers.com 的《淫在非洲》专版里看全部的照片了,不过我会尽量挑一些照片发过来,和更多的朋友分享。<br /><br /> 其实除了照片之外,我更多的心情和感受是通过文字表达的,这些只有在《淫在非洲》的专版中才能看到了,呵呵,卖个关子。<br /><br /> 感谢所有新老朋友的支持和鼓励!<br />路边有几个孩子提着不知名的水果在叫卖,向日葵色板官方的司机向他们问路,从这个路口向里拐,就是瀑布了。终于来到了瀑布近前,首先看到了两位美女!奔腾咆哮的瀑布更加衬托出美女的娇柔,正所谓:天人合一!这两漂亮姑娘穿着比基尼在瀑布下戏水,顿时吸引了所有兄弟们的眼球,他们纷纷举起长枪短炮向姑娘们致敬,我在50米开外,顾不得擦流出来的鼻血,赶紧掏出200mm的长焦头狂摄了几张。<br />这一对儿柔情蜜意的,做什么亲昵动作都不避讳大家,也知不道他俩是啥关系,不过我很喜欢这种肤色的对比组合:牛奶+巧克力。<br /><br />估计小胖看见他俩那天的亲昵举动,就不光是流口水了,肯定要喷鼻血了!这是在餐厅鱼缸里养的,看着象小鳄鱼,但比鳄鱼小多了,可能也是爬行动物,谁知道它的名字?肯定不是鳄鱼,比它小多了,也就20厘米长,我不知道它的名字。哈哈,这禽流感确实搞得人不安宁,据说非洲就是下一个重灾区呢,所以要先抓紧吃!黎巴嫩小帅哥,在炎热的非洲,有个地方能经常来戏水,太爽了。([
〖前言〗“快起床,今天还要开4个小时!”从美西回来几周了,蟋蟀头还时不时假装向日葵色板官方仍在美西自驾途中。对美国的眷念和喜欢似乎超乎我俩的想象。美国,原本不是我俩向往中的旅行地,它太年轻太现代了,历史厚重、传统文化浓郁的国度才是向日葵色板官方的爱。所以,我俩去尼泊尔印度,去中东的约旦以色列,去泰国柬埔寨,去非洲的肯尼亚,甚至去朝鲜,但美国却迟迟没有排进向日葵色板官方的时间表。偶然的机会,看到一张波浪谷的照片,神奇的地貌激发出我的无限好奇。于是,我想是时候去美国看看了。27天,8000公里,向日葵色板官方在美国西部自驾了一个环线,却发现,那不过是美国广袤西部的一小片地域而已。美国人比想象中更亲切随和,他们不像印度人那样用“where are you from?”来刻意与向日葵色板官方套近乎,但“Have a nice day”却几乎是向日葵色板官方每天都能听到的口头禅。榜自由的美国人,其实却非常遵守规则,在有STOP志的路口,他们一定会停车三秒,即使这个STOP志是在人烟稀少的国家公园,也不会动摇他们对规则的遵守。两个人,一辆Jeep,驰骋在美国西部,这段自由自在,无拘无束的日子,我知道即使在很久以后都会是一段难以忘却的回忆。同事邓姐说,等老了,你可以把这段经历写成游记。我诧异,为何要到年老时才写游记?这不是现在就可以做的吗?当然,她并不知道我已经在论坛上写过无数游记,从我玩户外开始,每一次徒步每一次旅行,我都用文字在论坛上留下足迹。只是,微信的盛行,碎片文化的泛滥,当然,还有我的懒心,我已有一年半没写过游记了。而这一次,我决定不再给自己任何借口。直达电梯D1(9月20日)上海—广州—旧金山1、一张申报单换回300美元罚款2、租车——首度体验美国人的耐心3、飞过大洋来看你D2(9月21日)旧金山—蒙特雷—卡梅尔—大苏尔1、第一次自助加油,101刀?2、半月弯——差点错过的风景3、鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light —意义大于景致4、鲜花盛开蒙特雷 5、日落17-Mile Drive6、恋恋不舍卡梅尔Carmel7、意外留宿大苏尔D3(9月22日)大苏尔—圣西蒙—Morro Rock—San Luis Obispo—Solvang—圣巴巴拉—洛杉矶1、失而复得的大苏尔Big Sur 2、两个逗比的Morro Rock3、善意满满San Luis Obispo4、在索尔万Solvang的童话世界里迷失一回又何妨?5、圣巴巴拉的晚餐D4(9月23日)洛杉矶——拉斯维加斯1、到此一游好莱坞2、气质超然罗迪欧3、拉斯维加斯惊艳一刻D5(9月24日)拉斯维加斯——大峡谷国家公园Grand Canyon National Park1、威廉姆斯与66号公路的不了情2、当墨西哥菜遇到浓浓善意D6(9月25日)大峡谷国家公园——Kanab1、在Yavapai Point看日出2、徒步光明天使步道3、巴士红线蜻蜓点水4、日落Grandview PointD7(9月26日)Kanab—Page—Kanab1、波浪谷抽,与幸运擦肩而过2、不期而遇格伦峡谷大坝3、梦幻羚羊谷4、马蹄湾,又遇老友5、夕阳无限好D8(9月27日)Kanab—锡安国家公园—Kanab1、锡安国家公园初印象D9(9月28日)Kanab—布莱斯峡谷国家公园1、红的岩,云的舞2、Sunset Point,岩柱的天然剧场3、徒步纳瓦霍环路4、一不小心,从Sunset走到Sunrise5、徒步皇后花园步道D10(9月29日)布莱斯峡谷国家公园—圆顶礁国家公园—盐湖城1、日出Surise Point2、绚烂如画的12号景观公路3、圆顶礁,没有大门不需收费的国家公园4、超速遇警察D11(9月30日)盐湖城—大蒂顿国家公园1、怀俄明的西部田园诗2、杰克逊的西部牛仔风D12(10月1日)大蒂顿国家公园—黄石国家公园1、大蒂顿东线,明信片般的风景线2、湖光山色大蒂顿D13(10月2日)黄石国家公园1、老忠实泉,忠实大于景致2、徒步牵牛花池环线3、雨意渐浓Black Sand BASIns(黑沙盆地)4、烟雨朦胧Biscuit Basin(饼干盆地)D14(10月3日)黄石国家公园1、寻找大棱镜2、不用下车的火洞湖环线(Firehole Lake Drive)3、彩锅喷泉原来是泥浆锅4、单行道的火洞峡谷环线(Firehole Canyon Drive)5、一不小心到了Mammoth(猛犸热泉)D15(10月4日)黄石国家公园—盐湖城1、再寻大棱镜,意外遇朋友2、迷失在诺里斯间歇泉盆地3、诗情画意MammothD16(10月5日)盐湖城—Moab1、盐湖城买胶卷2、5次停车助人,“向日葵色板官方来自中国!”D17(10月6日)拱门国家公园1、自驾,自助,自由2、艺术家的Three Gossips3、在南北窗拱门飞翔4、DeliCATe Arch,路途比终点更奇幻5、四川榕,不吃也罢D18(10月7日)Moab—拱门国家公园—峡谷地国家公园—Blanding1、半途而废的恶魔花园徒步道2、初见天空之岛3、Upheaval Dome,流星撞地球4、地球上的火星地貌D19(10月8日)Blanding—纪念碑谷—Kanab1、像阿甘一样奔跑2、在纪念碑谷拍一组大片D20(10月9日)Kanab1、波浪谷再次抽2、珊瑚粉沙丘州立公园,没有沙滩摩托就别去了3、日落锡安4、我想开餐厅D21(10月10日)Kanab—锡安国家公园—Kanab1、Angels Landing,勇敢者之路D22(10月11日)Kanab—Las Vegasl1、走,打枪去2、买,买,买D23(10月12日)Las Vgas—死亡谷—优胜美地国家公园1、迷茫死亡谷2、误闯入的风景D24(10月13日)优胜美地1、在Glacier Point,与半圆丘两两相望2、Tunnel View,无处不在的半圆丘3、新娘纱瀑布,你的面纱呢?4、寻找酋长岩,却拾一片秋D25(10月14日)优胜美地—旧金山1、抵达旧金山,归途倒计时D26(10月15日)旧金山1、洗车费100刀?2、招摇过市叮叮车3、花园锦簇,九曲花街4、渔人码头,到此一游5、旧金山,夜的魅结束语 预告片1— 纪念碑谷在纪念碑谷拍一组大片。空旷、荒凉,却有一种惊心动魄的美。 预告片2——拱门国家公园都说Delicate Arce的落日极美,但好天气也需要好运气。没有好运气时,至少我还可以有好心情。 预告片3——优胜美地国家公园在斑斓的秋色面前,很多时候,我只是配角。 预告片4——马蹄湾无数次在别人的照片里看到马蹄湾,但再美的风景,也只是别人镜头里的风景,只有当你亲临此境,此时此地,于是,这风景方才成为你的风景。预告片5——丹麦小镇Solvang如果你去丹麦小镇Solvang,记得一定带上两样东西:漂亮裙子和摄影师。 D1(9月20日)上海——广州——旧金山一张申报单换回300美元罚款3月,在天巡网搜9月下旬上海往返旧金山的机票,最便宜的机票竟然是携程上放出的南航,往返机票仅4967元,5000元不到。好处显而易见,便宜,但缺点是并非直飞,要到广州转机。去时在广州住上一夜,回程时广州中转2小时。但这缺点与便宜的票价相比,几乎可以忽略不见。广州,十年没去了,去时住一晚,喝个早茶再登机,怎么想都挺美。所以,还没办好美国证,向日葵色板官方已把去美国的往返机票买好了。现在办美并不难,自己填好160表,预约好面,带着轻松心情去面,有问必答,过关概率极高。而且,一就是十年。最重要的是,有了美,再办其他国家的证,会容易很多。要说办美的经验,我唯一的建议便是,老实。老实填写表格,老实回答问。只要你不是格外特殊,去美国的目的让面官生疑,一般都易通过。在飞机上时,空姐便发放了《美国海关申报单》。以往,对于其他国家的申报单我一律填写NO,但这次,申报单上关于是否携带了肉类一项,让我有点犹豫。因为小美丽在旧金山,受朋友所托,带给她两袋香肠。行前小美丽告诉我说,只要香肠是真空包装就没问。但看到申报单上这一项,我还是踌躇了半晌,要不要老实申报呢?与蟋蟀头商量了一下,我还是决定申报。后来,我非常庆幸自己这一决定。出海关时,递上护照和申报单,移民局官员问我,“你申报的肉类是什么?”“sausage。”我看着这个长着一张华裔面孔的移民局官员,竟想脱口而出“香肠。” “香肠?好吧,后面海关检查行李时,香肠有可能会被没收,也可能不被没收,但你填写了申报单,至少不会被罚款。” 他说道。再接着问了一下向日葵色板官方的旅行目的地、天数,以及向日葵色板官方在国内都是做什么工作,就让向日葵色板官方分别按指纹,盖章通过了。取行李后,向日葵色板官方推着行李车跟随人流往前走,却不料被不远处的两位海关人员叫住,招手要向日葵色板官方过去检查行李。为什么是向日葵色板官方?看看向日葵色板官方前后也没有其他人被叫过去,心里诧异。检查就检查,反正向日葵色板官方的行李中也没什么违禁物品。我倒是心安理得,早已忘了箱中的两袋香肠。直到海关人员开箱检查,拎出两袋香肠,告诉我说,“这个,没收,罚款300美元。”话音毕,2袋香肠便被扔进了旁边的垃圾桶。300美元?我的头一下大了。想起之前移民官的话,赶紧从包里掏出申报单递过去说道:“我有申报!”海关人员把申报单看了看,问道:“你申报的就是这个香肠?”我赶紧点头。“好吧,不用罚款了,但是下次再也不要带香肠了。” 听她这样一说,我才大吁一口气。而旁边被检查行李的同胞中,月饼也被扔进了垃圾桶。后来与小美丽讨论此事,她说我不应该填写申报表,就是因为填写了申报表,海关才会查验我的行李。可是申报表在我的包里,海关人员检查我的行李前,并不知道我有申报。“你难道取完行李没有上交申报单?不是有人站在那里收申报单吗?”小美丽问。小美丽接着说,取完行李后,应该有人在那里收申报单,填了申报单的走一列,会一个个被检查行李;没填申报单的走另一列,不会被检查行李。但实际上,向日葵色板官方真没看见有人在收申报单,向日葵色板官方也只是跟随人流往前走而已。下一次,我可能就不填申报单了。但这一次,我很庆幸,填写了申报单。后来的美国之行,愈发让向日葵色板官方感受到,美国人对规则的遵守。所以,在美国旅行,还是老实遵守他们的规定比较好。 租车——首度体验美国人的耐心推着行李走出机场。在我想像中,以为租车柜台就在到达大厅里一字排开,没想到,所谓的到达大厅并不大,也没有看到想像中的租车柜台,但示还算清楚,便随着“Car Rental”的示一路走过去,拐了几道弯,进电梯,上楼,出电梯后竟来到一个类似于地铁站台的地方,左右两边分别是蓝线Blue Line和红线Red Line的train。我有点懵了,依稀记得取车单上似乎有提过红线和蓝线,于是,赶紧翻出取车单,这段用红色明的重要文字,我居然这时才仔细阅读:MEETING POINT Car Rental Facility can be accessed by Air Trans train. The RED line train runs between Terminals. The BLUE line train goes from the terminals to the Consolidated Car Rental Facility. Airport signs will direct you to the Train boarding areas.读完后方知,原来红线车是在不同的候机楼之间运行,而蓝线车则是从候机楼到租车区。所以,向日葵色板官方应该坐蓝线车,而终点站就是租车区。很快,蓝线车来了,人流一涌而入,很快就把车厢塞满了。坐蓝线的人,应该都是去租车区取车的吧。我只是想,为何从没人在攻略里提及旧金山机场取车要坐蓝线车呢?旧金山机场的示非常清楚,顺着示走,绝不会迷路。当然,向日葵色板官方顺着这股人流走,也不会迷路。进电梯,下楼,出电梯,终于来到我想像中租车柜台一字排开的租车区,但,租车区比我想像中大很多,完全不是国内机场租车区可比,而且每个租车公司都占了一大片区域,且每个租车公司的柜台前都排满了人。找到我们的租车公司FOX后,买杯咖啡,排队取车。因为小美丽在微信中告诉我,“你们就慢慢排队吧,一般至少排队一小时才能取到车”。排队一小时?看着前面排队的几十个人,再看看五六个柜台前同时办公的工作人员,我很怀疑真的要一小时。但实际结果是,真的排了一个多小时才轮到向日葵色板官方。只不过,这一小时的排队时间里,所有人都安安静静,不急不躁。在后面的27天里,我们陆陆续续在许多细节方面感受到美国人的耐心。比如,开车在路上时,他们不会急于超车,更不会随便插队,你如果开得慢,他就在后面慢慢跟着,不急不缓;比如,我在拍照,挡了他们的路,他们就在后面耐心等着,等我拍完再走,不急不催。后来,我和蟋蟀头讨论,美国人这种耐心,与其说是耐心,但其实是素质。租车柜台前接待向日葵色板官方的又是一位华裔面孔的工作人员,只不过,他一句中文也不会,美语顺溜得如果不看他的脸,肯定会把他当成纯粹的美国人。递过去蟋蟀头的护照和驾驶证,以及取车单,工作人员就开始为向日葵色板官方办理取车手续。至于向日葵色板官方出发前蟋蟀头特地去办理的驾驶证公证件,从头到尾没有用过。其实如果你是在加州租车,是不需要出示驾驶证公证件的,因为加州交规中有明确,认可中国驾照。美国有50个州,每个州都有不同法规,所以租车前要搞清楚这个州是否接受中国驾照。基本上,美国西部的州都认可中国驾照,而东部的州不大认可,需要办理驾驶证公证件。当然,驾照公证件的有效期与驾照一致,所以打算今后还想在国外自驾的,花200元办个公证件也无不可。所以,蟋蟀头说他要去办驾照公证件时,我也不拦他,但没想到的是,办这个驾驶证公证件时,蟋蟀头居然被国内公证处的办证人员给坑了200元。工作人员问他,要几个翻译件?蟋蟀头说,按规矩来吧,应该办几个就几个。然后,办证人员就给他办了2个,一共花了400元。问在于,这两个证件一模一样,没有任何区别,哪有必要弄两个完全一样的翻译件呢?唉,说到国内这些公务人员,除了叹气,可能就是骂人了。租车很顺利,原本预定的车型是Jeep的自由光,工作人员帮向日葵色板官方做了免费升级,升级为Jeep一款更好的SUV,至于是哪个型号,我忘了。当时工作人员说可以帮我升级车型时,我只关注一点,同样价格?在得到他的明确答复后,我就眉开眼笑了。当时有两种车型任向日葵色板官方选择,我是车盲,蟋蟀头对那两款车型也不熟悉,便请工作人员帮忙,他指着一款车型说,“这个更好,很多人都选它。”我俩同意了他的建议。他虽然长着一张华裔的脸孔,向日葵色板官方却相信他,不会像国内那些坑人的官僚。租车推荐网站:https//www.economycarrentals.com/这是一个租车平台,非常好用,重要的是,价格比许多网站便宜。租车订单提交,收到确认单后,才会知道是哪家租车公司提供租车向日葵视频色板APP官网。预定时需支付预付款,提车前可以免费取消,所以预定车辆后,如果后面看到租金有降,可以取消订单,重新下单,整个过程方便快捷,且不会有任何多余费用。所以,我原本租的JEEP是Alomo公司提供,两个月后,发现同样车型,租金却便宜了1000多人民币,所以赶紧取消订单,重新下单,然后发现提车的这家公司变成了FOX。就名气而言,Alomo比Fox要知名很多,Fox只是一家小公司,但向日葵色板官方体验下来,无论服务,还是车的质量,都感觉不错。向日葵色板官方的租车费用,9月20日-10月16日,27天,5257元人民币。关于油,选的是满油还车return with full 。 飞过大洋来看你办完租车手续后,上楼提车。不一会儿功夫,向日葵色板官方便驾着一辆八成新的JEEP驶出租车区,正式开始向日葵色板官方的美国自驾行。向日葵色板官方在国内已预先在某宝买了TomTom的导航仪以及美国AT&T的手机卡,选的流量套餐是:高速流量4GB(4G/3G网速)+无限流量(2G网速)。美国虽比中国发达,但手机网络的覆盖率和速度则不敢恭维。AT&T是美国网络覆盖率最广信号最好的运营商,但即使是AT&T,在很多区域仍然没有信号,比如一号公路的部分路段、大峡谷国家公园、Page。。。后来在美西路上驾驶时,时不时没有网络信号,向日葵色板官方也渐渐习以为常。所以,想在美国自驾,只依赖手机Google地图是不行的,必须配备一个GPS,没有网络时依然可以导航。所以,我买的这个手机卡,即使向日葵色板官方在美国呆了整整27天,同时开热点给蟋蟀头使用,但因为美西的部分地区无信号,所以回国时,手机卡仍有很多流量。刚上车的心情,愉悦中带着兴奋,但开出取车区没多久,匝道太多,不熟悉,来不及换道,蟋蟀头便开错道了,绕了好大一圈,才终于驶上正道。出道不顺,却丝毫没影响我们心情。“刚开始嘛,等我熟悉一下就好,” 蟋蟀头的心态永远比我要好,不像我,容易着急。我预先订好的酒店位于旧金山市中心的联合广场附近,距离旧金山机场车程20分钟左右。一路高速公路,倒是方便快捷,只是进入市区后,道路开始复杂起来,特别是酒店附近,单行道很多,车道开错,又得重来,所以,向日葵色板官方竟在酒店外绕了两三圈,才终于在酒店对面的停车场停好车。旧金山市区的车道虽然复杂,却极为有趣,特别是向日葵色板官方酒店所处区域,坡度很大,道路极陡,不便驾驶,却很刺激。酒店不大,小巧干净,胜在位置极佳。前台为向日葵色板官方办理check in手续的年轻男子又长着一张华裔面孔,这有点让我感叹,旧金山的华人还真是多啊,向日葵色板官方初抵美国不久,从入境、租车到酒店check in,工作人员竟都是华裔,不过,这个华裔会说中文,而且说得还较好,应该在美国的时间不长。酒店房间稍旧,但还算干净,只不过床头柜上的电话居然如此复古,让向日葵色板官方有点意想不到。即使在中国,也很少见到这样的电话了。 行李放好后,稍微梳洗,向日葵色板官方便准备出门了,去圣荷西Soe Jose会小美丽。初抵美国的几小时 ,见到太多华裔,真有点怀疑这是美国吗?直到出门时,抬头,看见高高的楼上飘扬着的星条旗,嗯 ,我们的确已经在美国了。 去圣荷西的车程1小时,我有点后悔,应该把这第一晚的酒店订在圣荷西,而非旧金山。开车出发时已是下午5点过,路途中,小美丽打来电话,“向日葵色板官方还是去圣荷西的REI碰头吧,今天是周日,REI晚上7点就要关门,如果你们来我家,向日葵色板官方再去REI,会来不及了。”REI是美国,甚至是全球最大的户外用品店,玩户外的人,到了美国,怎能不去逛REI?甚至于,REI对向日葵色板官方的吸引力比outlets还要大。可以不去逛Outlets,但绝不能不去逛REI。REI在美国有上百家门店,圣荷西这家门店规模不算大,远不及旧金山市区的那家REI。但当时留给向日葵色板官方shopping的时间仅半小时,即使门店不算大,但对于这半小时来说也太大了。店里的户外用品琳琅满目,让向日葵色板官方目不睱接,所幸旅程结束时还有机会去旧金山的REI购物,否则,只留半小时给REI,会让向日葵色板官方悔青了肠子。小美丽说,向日葵色板官方是有多爱户外啊,在美国的第一张合影,居然就是在户外店。 离开REI,小美丽和男友Amir带我俩去吃饭。我们来到一个类似于酒吧的典型美式餐厅,餐厅内响着热闹的音乐,四面墙上挂满电视,正播放着各类节目,以体育赛事为主。Amir说想请向日葵色板官方吃最正宗的美式美食,而汉堡和鸡翅就是美国年青人的最爱。意想不到的是,美国人竟爱吃辣,而辣鸡翅就是这家餐厅的主打。小美丽知道向日葵色板官方嗜辣,尤其蟋蟀头,无辣不成菜,所以特地点了最辣的鸡翅,连向日葵视频色板APP官网员也再三与她确认,“确定要点重辣吗?”一大篮辣鸡翅端上来,辣是足够辣,但辣得太直接,除了辣,还是少了许多滋味,不像四川的麻辣、湖南的香辣或者贵州的酸辣。就美食来说,美国当然无法与中国相比。原以为向日葵色板官方会难以忍受美国单调的饮食,但没想到,向日葵色板官方在美国的27天里,虽吃得简单,却津津有味,不觉厌烦。蟋蟀头爱上了牛排,而我则爱上了可乐。一般来说,去一个国家旅行,如果适应了当地的饮食,便没什么不能适应了。 Amir是小美丽读书时跑步认识的,对她一见钟情。与她一样,喜欢运动,热爱户外。彼时向日葵色板官方四人吃饭时他还是她的男朋友,待向日葵色板官方美西玩了一圈,回国后,他们已注册结婚,成为她的先生。可能小美丽自己也没想到,她的姻缘会发生在地球的另一半。但其实啊,这世间所有的情缘,其实都是恰逢其时,早有安排。 D2(9月21日)旧金山—蒙特雷—卡梅尔—大苏尔第一次自助加油,101刀?按计划,今天会沿一号公路,从旧金山开到圣西蒙。沿途会经过的小镇有:Pacifica——半月弯Half moon Bay——santa cruz —— 蒙特雷Monterey——17 Mile Drive——卡梅尔Carmel——大苏尔Big Sur——圣西蒙SanSimeon,其中红字的是一号公路上的精华点,需停车游玩。车程6小时,加上游玩拍照时间2-3小时,预计全程8-9小时,只要早上9点出发,这一天的行程应该是绰绰有余。绰绰有余,其实是我想得太美。计划就是计划,而变化永远会比计划要多。早上9点, 向日葵色板官方已经在酒店check out,准备上路了。这个时间出发,尚在可控中。蟋蟀头没有赖床不起,让我甚为满意。 酒店对面有一个公共停车场public parking,向日葵色板官方的车就停在那里。一晚的停车费.74,在酒店前台缴费。前一天停车时,告知工作人员向日葵色板官方住对面酒店,停车场便出具了一张单子,让向日葵色板官方在酒店缴费盖章,然后便可以停一天一夜。.74,好贵的停车费,但如果不是住对面酒店,估计停车费用更贵。照美国这种停车费准来看,中国的停车费还大有上涨空间。好在美国只是城市内要收停车费,国家公园是不收停车费的,否则向日葵色板官方这自驾27天,停车费都是好大一笔数字。此时停车场外已排成长队。我一边排队,一边心里嘀咕着,怎么取车也要排队?9点过的加州阳光,已经毒辣得人睁不开眼。我傻乎乎地排队十多分钟后,忽然想起,这停车场里好像有一个租车office,会不会有可能这些排队的人是为租车,而非停车场取车?我走到最前面一看,果然不出所料,停车场里有一个Alamo的租车办公室,难怪这里会排成长队。有点后悔刚才自己不闻不问,就开始傻傻地排队,但也庆幸,仅排队十多分钟而已,没有浪费一小时才发现原来站错队。耽误了半小时,上午930,我俩终于妥妥地坐在车里,把Pacifica设置为向日葵色板官方的第一个导航点,便出发,正式开始我们的美西自驾行。但这一天正值美国的工作日,旧金山市区内拥堵的车流,再次出乎我预料。google地图显示的只需25分钟即可抵达Pacifica,看来是不可能了。向日葵色板官方的车跟在有轨电车叮叮车的后面,缓慢地行驶着。慢摇慢晃的叮叮车,让向日葵色板官方生出极大兴趣,决定待回程时一定要坐一趟叮叮车。实际上,穿行于闹市区的叮叮车早已不仅仅是单纯的交通工具,而成为旧金山的一大风景,是来旧金山的游客必定会体验的项目之一。 堵车、单行道、对路不熟,这几项加起来,导致我俩开着车在市区内兜了好几转才终于开出旧金山,蟋蟀头开玩笑说,他现在已对旧金山的路非常熟悉了。在Pacific找加油站加油时,才发现时间已经过去了整整一个半小时。而这原本应该是计划中的20分钟车程!之前看攻略,发现大家都喜欢到加油站所属小超市里找店员,付现加油,主要是因为自助加油刷信用卡时,很多时候需要输入美国当地的5位数ZIP CODE,向日葵色板官方国内的信用卡,哪有什么美国邮编啊,所以无法自助加油。但第一次加油,我仍想体验下自助加油,万一可以刷卡呢?美国的汽油分为Regular、Plus、Premium三种,一般选Regular(87)即可。加油机上有操作说明,简单易懂。把信用卡插入后,快速拉出,然后按提示选择credit card,如果没有跳出提示让你输入ZIP CODE,便可进行下一步,取油枪,选择要加的油号(Regular 87),开始加油了。油箱加满后,油枪会自动跳掉,然后便会从信用卡里扣除相应油费。但我们的第一次自助加油,卡在了第一步。信用卡插入后,如果没有快速拉出,便不会进入到下一步。但当时我并不清楚这一点,不知问出在何处。于是,我便进店里请求帮助。一个大叔热情地随我出来,教我一步步操作完。最后,油加满,油费的收费单自动打印出来,上面显示加油费.62(单价.099/G)。当时,我并不知道我的信用卡被扣1,离开加油站一小时后,才发现招行发给我的微信显示,我的卡在加油站被扣了1。我吓了一跳,赶紧掏出收费条,再看一遍,但上面明明注明加油费.62,我又怎么会被扣1呢?可当时已离开加油站一小时,返回去询问是不可能了,收费条上也没有加油站的电话,唯一的办法只有打给招行。招行向日葵视频色板APP官网很好,打通电话后,测出我是从国外打的电话,便自动转入人工向日葵视频色板APP官网,省去我一步步操作所需时间。向招行确认后,当时的确从我的卡里刷走101美元,而非101元人民币。“加油怎么可能要101美元?”我大惑不解,更被这莫名其妙刷掉的101美元感到心痛。招行客服安慰我说,他们会跟踪这笔交易,三天后给我回复。当然,最后被刷走的实际金额仍然是.62,而非1。这$101应该只是预授权而已。后来自助加油时也曾发生,明明加油.16,而当时却只被刷走。我自然也没有捡到这个便宜,该付多少钱最后仍会付多少钱。美国发达的信用卡机制,应该不会让人随便有机可乘,但这不经我许可,便随易乱扣的预授权,还是让人有点害怕。 半月弯——差点错过的风景加州一号公路的大名,你即使没去过,也不会没有听说过。蜿蜒于美国西海岸,从北向南将旧金山与洛杉矶相连在一起的一号公路,是所有人从旧金山自驾到洛杉矶的不二之选。所不同的只在于,你会在这条路线上花多少时间,两天,三天还是一周?甚至于,你愿意在路途中的某个小镇住上一个月,也不是不可能。一号公路太美,而路上那些小镇又如此梦幻,以至于在走完这条路线后,让我知道,我只留了两天时间给一号公路,是多么愚蠢的一个决定。但我的选择不仅是我的无奈,也是大多到美西自驾游的人的无奈,无奈的原因无非就是——时间。虽然一号公路的大部分路段都是沿海公路,开错路的可能性极小,但为了不错过每个景点,所以向日葵色板官方的GPS是一个点一个点地进行设置。离开Pacifica时,我无意中忘记了半月弯Half moon Bay,而把导航的下一个点设置到鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light 。当蓝色的太平洋进入视线后,自驾便多了一分浪漫与惬意。见路边停着几辆车,我俩便也停车下来,想看看他们停车的风景。走出车门,一阵海风迎面而来,带着阳光的气息。远处,蔚蓝的海水,冲刷出一段月牙般的海湾,拿出手机google地图一看,向日葵色板官方此时果然是在半月弯。不该你错过的风景,怎么也不会错过。 鸽点灯塔Pigeon Point Light——意义大于景致距离半月弯仅半小时车程的鸽点灯塔,是加州州立历史地,始建于1870年,至今已有145年,仍在被美国海岸警备队使用,是美国西海岸线上现役灯塔中最高的一个。树立在灯塔前的一个木牌上有鸽点灯塔的介绍,对它的评价极高,称它为加州的精神象征。我不懂为何灯塔被抬到精神象征的高度,难道是因为它在这一个半世纪里,指引了无数从加州海岸南面航行的船只,安全进入旧金山湾? 如果你仔细观察灯塔,会发现它的顶端光秃秃的,那个巨大的灯塔透镜呢?灯塔顶部的的菲涅尔透镜由1008块玻璃组成,是当时世界上最大的灯塔透镜,据说发出的光线能让40多公里外的船只看见。之前每年的11月,这里都会举行一次盛大的活动,用100多年前的方法来点灯,利用煤油灯和透镜所折射出来的光芒,相当于点亮了50万支蜡烛,从而吸引了无数摄影师前来拜访。当然,今年的11月是不会有这个活动了。因为那个有名的灯塔透镜,现在正乖乖地躺在灯塔附近的小屋里。虽然灯塔在无数次风暴以及1906和1989年的地震中幸存,但灯塔透镜仍在岁月的磨砺中受到损坏,需要修缮。目前正由加州州立公园基金会,一个独立的非盈利组织筹集修复灯塔所需资金,一旦资金筹措到位,便会启动修复计划。灯塔透镜不再高高在上,却给了向日葵色板官方一个近距离观察它的好机会。 我没有灯塔情结,所以这个高高矗立的白色灯塔,对我没有太多吸引力。对我来说,它不过是一号公路上的一个景点,顺路拜访而已。相较而言,这海上的风景更为养眼。白色的浪花重重拍打着礁石,却能抚平心里泛起的层层涟漪,直到内心如海水一般纯粹。 鲜花盛开蒙特雷在一号公路的所有景点中,从景致而言,鸽点灯塔是微不足道的,再加上仅一个灯塔而已,所以我预计呆上20分钟,拍张纪念照就可以离开了。但,向日葵色板官方却在鸽点灯塔停留了整整2个小时,因为蟋蟀头喜欢灯塔,不仅从各个角度拍灯塔,仔细观察灯塔透镜,甚至连灯塔旁边的纪念品小屋也要慢慢逛一逛,花32.7刀买下一个灯塔纪念品。看看时间已到下午230,向日葵色板官方却还逗留于鸽点灯塔,几乎可以说是一号公路的启始点,我快疯了。蟋蟀头不做攻略,攻略由我一人包办,所以虽然他在开车,却几乎不清楚向日葵色板官方每天的行程,我只是在每天出发前给他大概讲一下向日葵色板官方当天的车程,以及会去的地方。我反复对他强调,和后面的风景相比,这里什么也不算,而后面的景点还有一长串。就这样不断催促,我们竟然也停留了2个小时。从鸽点灯塔到蒙特雷,车程1小时20分钟。为节省时间,向日葵色板官方在路上的超市买了点零食,在车上解决了午餐。后来的20多天,在车上解决午餐甚至晚餐,早已成为常态。下午4点到达蒙特雷。之前看攻略,提到蒙特雷,一般都是讲它的渔人码头,以至于我心目中的蒙特雷,就是一个喧哗的海边小城。但第一眼的蒙特雷,却着实把向日葵色板官方惊艳了。鲜花盛开,安静雅致。 街上几乎无人,此时的蒙特雷,静谧得如同一座空城。我知道蟋蟀头已经开始后悔,之前在鸽点灯塔浪费了太多时间;而我也开始后悔,为什么不在蒙特雷住上一晚?当然,后面的小镇,各有特色,而每个小镇都令向日葵色板官方有想住下来的冲动。 蒙特雷的气息令人着迷,适合陶醉,也适合沉迷。假装扮下文艺,也无不可。 去蒙特雷游玩的人,大多都直奔渔人码头(Fisherman's Wharf)。有人曾在攻略里大力推荐,认为蒙特雷的渔人码头比旧金山的渔人码头更值得一去,因为这里海狮更多。所以离开鸽点灯塔时,向日葵色板官方把GPS直接定位到蒙特雷的渔人码头。在渔人码头附近看到一个停车点,正打算停车,工作人员却告诉向日葵色板官方说,现在这里暂时不能停车,要换另一个地点停车,并给了向日葵色板官方一张纸,上面有停车点的具体地址以及详细的路线指引。但用google地图搜索后发现,工作人员介绍的这个停车点距离渔人码头很远,走过去可要花一点时间。蟋蟀头说,向日葵色板官方自己另找停车位吧。便思忖着去找一个路边的停车位。在美国停车,主要有两种,一种是公共停车场public parking,另一种是路边停车street parking。路边停车有停车线,而且停车位旁通常有咪表,需先缴费买停车时间。但向日葵色板官方居然在蒙特雷的一条小街上找到一个没有咪表的停车位。看看前后,路边上都停满车,而且的确没有咪表,当然也没有像国内那样的收费员。后来在美西自驾20多天,停过各式各样的地方,在旧金山、洛杉矶停车时支付过高昂的停车费,也在国家公园和所有的小镇几乎没支付过停车费,这才发现美国的停车费制度其实非常合理。那就是收费并非一刀切,而且收费是为控制,并非只为赚钱。人少车少的地方,不收停车费;人多车多的地方,收高昂的停车费。但即使是旧金山,到了晚上,路边停车也几乎不收费,因为这时候车少啊,没有必要收费。 传说中“游客云集”的渔人码头,人并不多。难道,现在是蒙特雷的淡季?但其实,渔人码头的栈道两边都是餐厅、咖啡馆和酒吧,当时已是下午4点过,既过了午餐时间,也不到晚餐时间,游客们可能在潜水,也可能在观鲸船上,码头上人不多倒也正常。 太平洋的海水,真让人怀疑是神不小心泼洒下的蓝墨水,蓝得如此纯净。但如果蒙特雷是一个人迹罕至的孤岛倒也罢了,明明这里游人趋之若鹜,海水却依然如此干净清透,没有国内景点常见的垃圾与海水中脏污的浮沫,是令向日葵色板官方诧异的。 海狮呢,海狮呢?我心心念念只想搜寻海狮。明明在别人的照片里看见,蒙特雷渔人码头的海岸边趴着一群群的海狮,为何我却只见海鸟,不见海狮。为此我还特地去问了一个看上去是久住此地的大叔,问他哪儿可以看见海狮?他说,没有海狮了。再问为什么?他的回答倒很简单,“no food, no sea lion。”海狮其实是一种迁徙性动物,会因食物或交配而进行迁徙,并不会永居某地。旧金山渔人码头的39号码头,在1989年旧金山大地震后,迁徙来了上千头海狮,并繁衍得越来越多,却也曾因为海狮要到南方海域交配,而突然之间消失得无影无踪。所以,如果你没在旧金山和蒙特雷的渔人码头看到海狮,其实也不奇怪。 没有看到海狮,但面向大海,弹支曲子,也很不错哦。虽是“假装”弹琴,但蒙特雷明亮的蓝天,纯粹的大海,此情此景,都令人心生留恋。 在蟋蟀头的镜头中,蒙特雷既可以简约清丽,也可以用多重爆光玩点技术。而重点是,我俩都爱蒙特

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep.

To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for?

07年我走滇藏线回丽江,在德钦客栈的房间遇一姑娘聊的甚为开心,向日葵色板官方互留电话,地址。原来她是雨崩的支教老师刘一村,湖南师范大学毕业便申请来到了雨崩村,因为怕父母担心,始终没有告诉他们自己在哪里工作,只是每个月出去在西当村打一个电话给父母报平安。但说实在的,当时我对支教还没一个明确的概念。 08年,我在丽江上班,一村放寒假来看我。多日不见,自是分外高兴。临走,再三邀请我有空去雨崩做客,到时管吃管住。雨崩,离梅里雪山最近的一个村庄,但当时因为有事一直未能成行。 09年底我重回丽江,想着有空去看看一村,快两年没见了,不知她过的怎样?可是打电话,手机停机,坐机也不通。这丫头怎么了,不会出啥事了吧!难道不在雨崩,不可能啊!怀着忐忑不安的心情,还是出发了。 香格里拉,德钦,西当一路过来。到西当是下午五点多,原本想直接徒步进雨崩,但司机说太晚了,不安全,无奈在西当住一晚。要见梅里雪山,还真的不容易!~~ 住阿布家的绒客栈,2层是客房,有几个2人间和一个4人间,每床20。院子一角是洗漱和淋浴的地方,太阳能热水器,晴天水温还很热,但阴雨季节就热不起来了。房间没有电热毯,床单被罩一人一换,内有电源接线板,进雨崩之前可以把各种电器充好电。手机在这有信号。 一般进雨崩的司机都住在这里,因为进山2天,所以司机和车辆在此地休息。这也方便了自由行的散客可以租车往返于西当和飞来寺、德钦了。进山时阿布还介绍,若是出山时想租车,可电话提前约定,从西当温泉到飞来寺每车120元,若赶时间也可以从西当直接送到丽江,每车550元。(价格会根据天气以及车型等情况上下浮动) 很多家都挂红旗,晚上聊天得知,普通藏民还是很感谢***的,他们说去年拉萨闹事时,德钦仅仅去了几个喇嘛。只有喇嘛和贵族想恢到过去的政教合一的那种旧制度,广大藏民是不愿意的。 从阿布家包车60元到达西当温泉,若步行大概需要2-3个小时。然后正式开始徒步,一路景色还是很不错的。 从西藏那曲来梅里朝圣的一家五口,爷爷奶奶,爸爸妈妈带着五岁的小女孩。很难想象他们这一路的风餐露宿。我把随身带的乳酸菌饮料给了小女孩,很多游客也纷纷把吃的东西拿出来。 阳光下还是相当的温暖,走不久就觉得好热,干脆拖下外套。一路遇到好多从雨崩出来的驴友,徒步的,骑骡子的(马与驴的杂交种,据说耐力比较好,适合走山路)。 看到一大片经幡,我想垭口应该到了。沿着经幡继续走了几百米,终于到达本次徒步的最高点,据说是海拔3,900米的那宗垭口,垭口方圆百米范围内都是密密麻麻的经幡。接下来都是下坡路了,应该会比较好走些。 最悬的是,据同行的北京大姐说,她看到有位藏族老人在挂经幡,就上前拍了张照。结果一看,屏幕上竟什么也没有显示。天哪,不会是因此冒犯了神山,挂经幡时不能拍照,好象没这个忌讳吧!她赶紧向神山祈祷,我则安慰她,没事的,不知者无罪。 神秘的梅里。。。 垭口有个休息站,一般雨崩和西当的骡子在这交接,若两边都有上下山的客人,那么两边都在此进行交接,费用付给上山的马夫就行了。租马时,大家都希望租到垭口,否则若对方村子那边没客人,有时还要再空返一趟。旺季时,西当村70户人家大约170匹骡马每天都要跑至少3个来回,骡子非常疲惫,累到极点的骡子即使用鞭抽也不走动。但好像村里有规定只要有需求就必须出马。 垭口的阳光非常的灿烂,坐在那里边晒太阳,边看着前方的雪山,真是一大享受。 神女峰,又叫缅茨姆峰,意为大海神女,位于卡瓦格博峰南侧。传说是卡瓦格博的妻子。卡瓦格博随格萨尔王远征恶罗海国,恶罗海国想蒙蔽他们,将面茨姆假意许配给卡瓦格博,不料卡瓦格博与面茨姆互相倾心,永不分离。 缅茨姆,线条优美,气质若兰。给人一种无以言说的美感,一种震憾心霏的灵气。右边是五冠峰 不过照片角度不太好 终于看到了下雨崩,就这么稀稀疏疏十来户人家,感觉很安静。这就是传说中的世外桃源?不去天堂,就去雨崩? 32# kkk8926897 我是12月10号出来的,前几天确实下雪了,还下的不小。一直在想,要怎样写这篇游记,要怎样描述一村,对我来说是个不小的挑战。所以回来后几个月里,我都迟迟一直没有动笔。最终决定还是写这篇游记,反映一个真实的支教老师。穿过村口的检票的房子,直奔学校。据说学校就是那座蓝色屋顶的房子,看上去很不错。长发披肩,手里拿着个脸盆,一个姑娘从门里面出来。我拉下面罩,“一村”。她一看,“姐,你怎么来了。”进去后,生火烧水,多日不见,当然有很多话要说。。。 这位小朋友今年3岁,是一村刚来雨崩那年生的。现在还没正式开始上学,但是普通话说的非常好。他平时没事喜欢到学校来玩,也特别喜欢跟一村在一起。闲时大家会逗他,“你是谁的宝宝呀?”“老师宝宝。”他回答的可快了。 云南政府的规定是只负责完小的费用,雨崩这样的学校因为学生少而不投入任何资金和资助。所以学校的课桌凳子都是就地取材做的,其他书本,文具等所有一切设施是游人捐赠的。 这是我在网上看到的,是一村前面一任志愿者发的帖子: 到雨崩支教一年 完全义务 你愿意吗? 多大的能力承受多大的责任——写在招募义教之前的话 “能力越大,责任越大。” 这是我在云南当了半年义教才能体悟到的。我选择去当义教,是为了一个青春的梦想,从小受过的教育告诉我:“助人为乐之本”,我喜欢那种真正帮助他人后所产生的精神愉悦和自我满足感,我一直相信这个世界真实地存在着无私的爱,人与人之间需要关怀,当然我很喜欢孩子,喜欢简单的生活。 但在支教的半年中我很困惑,我能做什么,我帮到了什么,我改变了什么?当初我满怀激情,带着都市人的优越感进驻那个几乎与世隔绝的藏族区,我给自己定下目:要做一只改变一群狼的羊,而不是一只被狼改变的羊。落后的山区,大半文盲的村民,重寺庙轻学校,急功近利发展旅游,拔刀子解决纠纷,在我眼里,他们确实是一群需要改变的狼。 可是当我一次次教不好学生,无法考出满意的分数;当游客捐赠的文具免费派发,反而让学生无知地浪费;当我想带一年级学生出来考试,遭到家长的联手反对;当我提出由村民出资请一个专业的老师,得不到任何回应。我开始反省:流动的义教对孩子的意义有多大,向日葵色板官方的善心是否反而使接受者产生依赖或堕落。 我带着这种困惑,没能实现目的自责出山,没有留下来继续支教。重返繁华的都市,我的困惑犹在,我能做什么,我能帮到什么,我改变了什么?很多朋友认为这是教育体制的问,应该由政府来解决,依靠个人的力量根本是杯水车薪。甚至认为我与其浪费半年的时间在那里,不如拿一笔钱来捐助给学校。是的,是的,中国的教育制度确实需要完善,找老师应该是政府的事,捐助学校应该是富豪们做的慈善事业,但在抱怨政府和制度的同时,你做了什么,在你的能力范围内? 我没有能力去改变一个国家的教育制度,但我有能力花上半年时间去当一个完全义务的老师,以弥补落后山区师资的不足;我也没有足够的钱捐一所希望小学,但我以一个老师的威信,让学生在接受馈赠时,既懂得感恩,又懂得自尊自强;我没有能力让学生考出高分,但我倾注了所有的耐心教他们各种知识和人生道理;我没有能力改变孩子们的命运,但为他们打开一扇通往外界的窗子,鼓舞他们走出大山,用自己的双手改变贫穷的命运;我没有能力改变村民依赖外界捐助的懒惰心理,但我决不因此放弃助人的信念。 “有多大的能力承受多大的责任”,当我不再把义教当成一剂救世的良药,不再认为自己可以改变别人命运时,我不再困惑,因为在我的能力范围内,只能做到这些,而我很负责地做到了这些。接下去,我能做的是为学生找到一位有能力,有责任心,有爱心的老师,延续这根爱心接力棒。 一年之内没有任何报酬,没有任何政府组织的支持,除了食宿,所有费用自己承担;不带任何功利目的,只是一种责任,一种爱心,去帮助一群落后地区的学生,你有能力吗,你愿意吗,如果你有能力,你也愿意,请告诉我。 招募云南雨崩义教要求 地处云南省西北地区的迪庆州德钦县云岭乡西当村雨崩公社,为藏族区,坐落于梅里雪山腹地的山谷中,这里四面绕山,不通公路,出入雨崩必须徒步或者骑马翻越海拔三四千米的大山,行程为五六小时。目前雨崩不通电,没有手机信号,不能上网,但每家都有卫星电话,可以接收外界来电,打长途比较贵,4元/分钟。每家每户买了发电机,水利发电,灯光不亮,但可以看电视,用电脑。村里的条件比较简陋,但景色很好,经常有游客徒步进山。雨崩村共有34户人家,150多名村民,雨崩小学为村小,行政上隶属于西当村完小,雨崩学生到西当完小就读须寄宿,低龄学童无法寄宿,先在雨崩小学读到三年级再转入完小。雨崩小学设有一到三年级,隔年招生,每年大概有十几个学生。 考虑到老师流动性太大,对学生的教学不利,这次招募义教任期为一年,对于义教有一些基本要求:首先要有耐心和爱心,因雨崩学生从小讲藏语,相对于城里的小孩,他们学习汉语犹如学外语,学习基础薄弱,老师的教学任务很重,需要有极大的耐心和爱心反复教导。 雨崩条件很简陋,义教又没有薪水,所以不考虑没有经济基础的应届毕业生或在读大学生,需要有教学工作经验,或所学专业为师范类的,年龄在26岁以上,35岁以下,本科以上学历,未婚人士,男女不限。 要有责任心,雨崩的义教属民间自发,没有政府资助,也没有太多的合同约束,但是既然选择了去当义教,一定要做好充分的心理准备和其他准备,面对各种挑战,不能中途而废。 最后请报名者谨慎考虑的是,请一定要在你的能力范围内去做,一年内没有任何经济收入,你是否有这样的经济条件承受?你的家人是否同意?在偏僻的山区,除了要应对落后的自然条件,还有无人沟通甚至不为人所理解的苦闷,你是否有足够的心理能力承受? 如果你慎重考虑过,有足够的能力,有足够的爱心和责任心,请发一份个人简历,并附上你对义教的看法(字数不限,仅供参考)到:XXX 欢迎有意向的朋友发邮件咨询。 趁一村上课那阵子,我去客栈看望一起徒步进来的朋友。他们就住在雨崩往事,学校旁边的一个客栈。 凭心而论,雨崩真的很美。特别是和朋友一起坐在客栈的阳台上烤太阳,看着对面的梅里雪山,那份惬意。世外桃源,从某种意义上来说也就意味着与世隔绝。对游客来说,这里真的很适合度假,可以暂时抛开世俗的一切。但长住就另当别论了。 远处是雪山,但阳光下一点都不冷。 和雨崩往事的老板及北京大姐合影(小冯帮我拍的)我特别喜欢这张的笑容,很灿烂。 晚上在雨崩往事一起吃饭,一村不愿意来,我把她拉过来。来雨崩的客人太多了,出出进进诱惑太大,很多人请她吃饭,她都不愿意去,在这个封闭的环境,她已经习惯把自己层层包裹起来,也不愿对人多说自己。 听说一村来雨崩第一年只吃过一次肉,还是游客请的。所以小冯特意叫了只土鸡,(150一只)热情的替一村装了一碗又一碗。后来才知道,这里的鸡都是从几十公里外的尼农运过来的。 晚上,向日葵色板官方打着电筒回学校,村子里没有路灯。 这就是学校的宿舍,也就是我住的房间,看上去还不错,却是个豆腐渣工程。之前一直漏水,后面上面加了个蓝色铁皮,但有时还会掉一些小石头土块之类的。晚上听着外面牦牛(这里牦牛都是放养的,没有牛棚)脖子上的铃铛响了一夜,仿佛天籁之音,再看着窗外满天明亮的星星,感觉太棒了! 当时没拍照,只能发张一村拍的照片 早上不到8点,就有学生在外面敲门,一村下去开门。然后是朗朗的读书声,小朋友一个个都很自觉的拿出书来。一村开始生火,烧水。二年纪开始,学生吃住都在学校,她一人不仅负责所有学生的所有课程,还要解决孩子很多方面的问,如语言、卫生、生活习惯等等,给孩子们做饭,照顾起居,与学生们同吃同住。学生都是免费上学,她没有工资。吃的是每周学生从家里背来的青稞土豆,烧得是捡来的树枝。 她差不多一个月去一次德钦县收信、取募捐、购买蔬菜肉类,药品,生活用品等等,以改善学生们的生活和伙食。一般早上9点左右开始做操,学生们都很乖,还有很多村里的人在旁边看。我有时也会跟着一起做。后面穿藏服的是一村老师,旁边是客人小冯 高压锅蒸的米饭,菜是藏区最常见的土豆。一村说这是她自己种的,因为围着的栏杆被猪拱了,吃了不少,现在只剩一小口袋了。还有一些是学生带来的,放久了,都有些焉掉或烂了,一直舍不得扔掉放在那里。荤菜就是腌过的猪肉或是火腿肠,也是客人留给她的。这里要吃新鲜肉不容易,村里一般只有过年才杀猪,平时就只能吃腊肉之类。配上酥油茶,大家吃的还是很香 饭后向日葵色板官方一起去村子旁边的树林散步,抛开物质上的种种缺乏,雨崩真的很美 在一村的再三要求下,村里人终于每家每户主动把柴火堆到学校门口,之前都是一村带者孩子们一起拣柴 说实在,在雨崩那些日子,我最大的感受就是心疼,甚至有些心酸。三年,不是三天,三个月,是个什么概念。从物质的缺乏到精神上也没有朋友可以交流,还要面对来自外界的不理解,需要一种怎样的信念才能支撑下去。交通不便,手机没信号,没有电视,不能上网,没有商场,没有很多东西,我只是个俗人,我真的做不到! 日本一档关于雨崩的旅游节目,曾经介绍过小刘老师义务支教的事迹,韩国媒体也曾做了报道。但国内媒体似乎比较麻木,也许是义务支教的事情在其它地方也较多,但这种奉献社会的精神值得政府或社团关注。 无法去抱怨村里不重视教育或是国内的教育体系,其实是抱怨也没用,在自己力所能及的范围内做些事情,譬如捐助等等。希望各位朋友若有机会去雨崩,适当的献份爱心吧,一村老师这种奉献精神值得社会关注,值得颂扬、支持。 如有意寄东西过去,请寄至:云南省迪庆州德钦县邮政局22号信箱雨崩小学 刘一村收 邮编:674500目前仅邮政的网络能寄达,其他的物流公司都不通的。 每天中午和傍晚,我和一村都会来这转转,特别喜欢坐在那晒太阳,发呆,什么都不用想,时间似乎停住了一般。 早上一早就起床了,为了陪我,一村决定今天带着学生去神瀑,算是郊游吧!昨晚就把今天的干粮做好了,一大包土豆丝包子。我这两天就象被供起来了,一村啥都不让我干,弄的我很不好意思。昨天终于把火生起来了,高兴了半天,回头一看,脸上黑乎乎的全是锅灰,呵呵!这就是学校的小型水利发电机,冬天由于水量不足,导致电压不稳,灯老是忽明忽暗的。至于是什么原理,我看了半天,没看出个所以然上,下雨崩之间走路大约40分钟,从上雨崩过去很多是下坡路。 一村把掉下来的东西挂上去 我喜欢这片树林,感觉很适合拍婚纱或是写真。不久的将来,呵呵,希望有机会再来。中午在雨崩第一家客栈休息,吃包子,小朋友一人一个,大人一人两个。烤火,喝酥油茶,沾了一村的光,当然是免费的。好心的大婶怕向日葵色板官方不够吃,又拿了两个油煎粑粑给一村。 巴桑拉姆的小木屋,离神瀑最近,比较简陋的一个。但现在是淡季,没有开门。夏天,一村最喜欢来这里露营了,到处是盛开的花儿,看着满天的繁星。现在太冷了。前方,五冠峰的背后就是神瀑,不过我看了半天没看到。听说这段时间神瀑那边不时有冰雹掉下来,出于安全考虑,肯定不能带学生去了。所以一村决定下午给学生放假,全部回家洗澡换衣服去。有点奇怪的理由,却是事实。她跟着去家访,由管理站站长带我继续往神瀑方向走。([]
