My childhood fear of writing, this is the first time a desire to write something out. But only the slightest desire, so till now, suddenly a little motivation to become a simple diary of this simple article.
The summer of 2001, is unable to find life, career direction, I get a chance for freelancers. Calculate the income to do that project, I suddenly discovered that I have only to think, but had no real plans trip to Tibet, we must dream come true. So I spent most of the work since the two months of leisure is the most substantial in the morning to sleep in the afternoon looking at the Internet search data travels, late at night to write programs. Two months later, I got the money, but also ready packed full of backpacks and began my journey.
9.1 Shanghai - Lanzhou very interesting, I've seen quite a few have mentioned the hero travels to Tibet, the former suffering from a cold, worried, and then either "risking one's life," to go, or a sudden turn for the better before departure, anyway, go into (nonsense, go to they do not succeed do not see the travels of). I also learn from them, with the market in late August had hit a warm-up in Shanghai, China's soccer team edges of influenza dip a bit, a week, runny nose, coughing. But I worry how Daomo always feel that I not so easy to die, only a little more prepared to cold and anti-inflammatory drugs, starting as usual. So cough tens of thousands of years, until returning to Shanghai from Tibet, coughing like a:)
16:23, T116 went to Lanzhou, Tibet journey began. Still cold cough, not more so, hide covered with sleep. Night with Edie SMS contact, she had been transferred on the train to Golmud. WJ Nanjing her peers is a serious cold, to rest one day in Lanzhou. Hey, someone had to help buy a ticket.
Before, I thump the Internet in January and want to go to Tibet with the companions, failed. The only success is that nearly the same in Shanghai edie. Unfortunately, she is not a fan I was, so when I am looking at 8.31 nights, when the World Cup qualifiers, in a hurry, she had been riding on a bought tickets as early as T166. I was fortunate that she had been before departure, I suddenly think of it, if she failed to turn up in Lanzhou, Golmud train, you can let her help me buy a ticket, give only a brief phone via a text message that she was made a month on the road contact can be contacted. So she was still in Tibet became part of my trip traveling companion ......

9.2 Shanghai - Lanzhou - Golmud morning and WJ contacted him on behalf of the Golmud to buy the train tickets at ease. Edie pass the afternoon with the message, she had to Golmud, and asked me if I was left tomorrow, the Qinghai-Tibet line, she was starting tomorrow. As I watched the old schedule, thinking to Golmud has been very late, so sorry to tell her not do.
Evening 7:40 to reach Lanzhou, see WJ. Evening on the 8:53 train to Golmud, there were very few cars are broken. WJ chatted for a while now, which is only reason to go to Tibet plateau longing, and so on. Listen to him that edie, he told edie also ctrip Posted by sub-contacts, talked on a telephone.

14:00 soon to Golmud, but also delayed for one hour. Then I came to understand that you can start right away, do not spend a day in Golmud. Leaving the station, the sun was shining and immediately received an eye on a new car into Tibet, Cherokee, but also can, 300 yuan per person, want to bargain, refused to demand the immediate left, may pull enough of people. But humans are not enough, the next day and then go.
