Kyrgyz – The noodle that got away

After Tajikistan I crossed back into Kyrgyz for a few days and then into China where I burnt myself on 5 days of trains from Kashgar down to Kunming for New Years Eve where I threw up in a urinal. In China I visited a Pagoda for Tripitaka who led a monkey, a pig, a fish and dragon masquerading as a horse to India in search of Buddhist scriptures. I was in Kashgar, the Muslim part of China where people speak a Turkic language and the people seem to despise the Han Chinese. The Chinese government is flooding the area with Han Chinese. I’m now in Laos and heading down to the 4000 islands that sit in the middle of the Mekong before I head into Cambodia. I was contemplating going to Burma but couldn’t bring myself to go against the wishes of the pro-democracy movement.
