Arriving at Kashgar, I find a hostel, ride a ferris wheel and see the town’s sights.
The ferris wheel makes some funny noises as I go around but doesn’t fall apart on me. The view of Kashgar is nice.
While in Kashgar, I also visit the mosque and bazaar and chat to a guy who’s also travelling, from Kashgar to Pakistan via the Karakorum highway and then on to Afghanistan. Ballsy.
Id-Kah mosque in Kashgar. I found out that there’s an entrance fee on my way out, I happened to come in through the side door. It’s not worth paying the entrance fee.
This place, to the right of the entrance to the mosque (as you’re facing it) has a western toilet. They like tuovists and offer the following advice:
A camel chilling at the livestock bazaar with as many tourists and tour groups as there are locals wheeling and dealing.
Guy with donkey watches two male donkeys get it on.
Boy is not accepting of his donkey’s sexuality and takes to him with a stick, repeatedly until is stopped by onlookers who respect the donkey and his choices.
Uyghur man test drives donkey.
Man is happy with the donkey’s handling and suspension and pays the owner one wad of cash for the donkey. Owner’s friend is good at looking dodgy while his friend counts.
With the angry boy out of the way, the gay donkey gives his lover and best friend a big hug. Awww!
The sheep, they just stand around. This breed is known as the J-Lo.
