Did you eat this stuff?? The Woodapple?Most icky fruit I ate there... it's fermented, super hard and has a very strong sourish taste.
I think this is also the fruit that elephants are famous for getting drunk on after eating too much.The other fruit , on the other hand, that I liked a lot was this fruit: The Beli Fruit or Bael fruit. It is very gooey and supposed to help with digestion. I think it is probably slightly fermented as well because after we ate it, we felt very nice comfortable warmth in our tummies!

No, never try them but it is Avacado season and those avavcado are big and nice. We even had organic bananas (pluck ripe from the tree).

Lion Rock resembles the Pu Tuo San in China. You need alot of imagination to appreciate the beautiful of this place before the destruction of this place. Like all other cities, this place is surrounded my man-made moat as a form of defence against the enemies

Yaaa.. we did the Kakokarom Highway .. that's what I did when I went to Pakistan but we could not get the xin jiang cos of the landslide.
But as we drove past the mountains - we could see the faint paths of the original silk road - and I can imagine eons ago, those caravans, slowly traveling across the miles and miles of empty mountainous arid terrain, finally approaching the kingdoms built in the oasis..
Compared to the more 'citified' parts of the silk road, I think that had a more original feel.
My dream is Trans Siberia or Mongolia~ From Beijing to Russia!
