Taklamakan Desert, Xinjiang, China
One evening motorbike of fully covered man come to my side while riding. They seemed to be curious of this strange tall person riding a bicycle against a sandy storm in nearly freezing temperatures. They simply watched me a minute staying on my side, then started to wave their hands vigorously. Then they speeded away, but stopped. I rode by and the same happened again. They rode on my side and then speeded away again. This is weird, but I am in China! I am an attraction here. When I saw them again, they were flagging me down in the front of a roadside construction site hut. I stopped and they insisted that stay there the night. Why not! They had a spare bed in their 6×3 hut and their noodle soup was as tasty as the finest I had during my whole time in China. Xie Xie Uncles!
