Too much meat
August 13th, 2010 at 1:24
First day in Urumqi and the travel as a digital nomad has started. Before we left I managed to arrange a 500mb data plan for 50rmb per month with China Mobile so I hope my HTC desire will come to good use (if I only manage to charge the battery every evening). With me I also carry a Kindle DX, Nikon D2X and Holux 241 GPS Logger.
Arriving in Urumqi, a noticeable change is the weather, about 25 degrees and a bit chilly in the evening. A welcome change from Shanghai’s close to 40 degrees.
First evening was spent at Wuyi nightmarket together with a bunch of travellers that in fact all had just resigned to go out travelling for a longer period of time. The dinner consisted of MEAT. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used all parts of the sheep, and I mean ALL parts of the animal. Barbecued heart is for example not that much different from any other piece of the animal, only the consistency. Although tasty but just eating meat gets boring and some vegetables or noodles soup would have been nice to it.
