From Xining to Lhasa, the long-distance truck has stopped at the Inn is the black r. Qinghai Province, 13 o'clock being. To the vehicle when passing urine, he saw the dark outside the starry night sky over the city's night sky, I do not know how different. Think of a THE BEATLES songs, LUCY AND DIAMOND IN THE SKY (Lucy and diamonds in the sky).
Driver said to the dock for an hour, all the passengers called off, and enter the street used to jump the queue Muslims opened a small shop, was clearly aimed at the passengers to spend money.
The car is not one to turn on the lights at night, and while parking is now the only moment in mind when you look at.

Car is now open to the Golmud in Qinghai Province to the southwest, it is estimated will arrive at noon. There should be a certain degree of mountain sickness. Last night I have already experienced some feelings. At first appear ears into the water, no ventilation in the nose when speaking, over a little while, obviously feeling the pressure to reduce, followed by some as cold as headaches, dry lips, but fortunate that night without words, it is so in the morning Shuang bright sun woke up. The surrounding landscape is being further changes. Sky a lid, but also as the mouth pot, surrounded by mountains, cars take half a day would not see signs of human habitation, like 109 State Road (Qinghai-Tibet Highway), only we and the occasional car drove across.
Written here to remind me to peer out the window plush look can already see the snow in the mountains. Sky also has imperceptibly become more and more blue, the weather will become more and more cold bar. . .
Now I have a broad feel of nature, surrounded by the mountains seem to always be put off indefinitely on the ground greeted all of which are monotonous sandy soil, a Punta a Punta bushes.
I think my colleagues are now working with a computer in front of it, if not out of the case, for me, another unremarkable day. Colleagues sitting in a comfortable bus where to enter the company's work, I lay on a crowded long-distance car toward the holy places in Lhasa to worship. Them into the company's first thought is to work, followed by lunch, go home, I know; and I think is all right for me a strange, fresh, excited, moved, shocked, the most interesting thing is a non - know, this I made it clear. I choose the latter. Let me cry, or let me laugh, I would like to be feeling, do not want to spend my Aori Zi in 1999.
All the company seemed farther and farther away from me, all yesterday or even earlier.
Previously often see a lot of baggage tied to the roof of the long-distance trucks, which crammed a group of a group of workers, when I get on this car, finally come to arrive at the taste. There is a two-tier sleeper car from top to bottom, about 32 shops, two people live in a fairly ordinary single bed width of the shop, it can be the length, there is no, I can only slightly curled legs of. The car was full of sweat, cigarette smoke, the taste of the body by various actors. Take this car, only the opportunity to get off to urinate, there is no opportunity for special wash too dearly. No accommodation, day and night at double speed rushed to the destination, because the drivers are afraid the traffic problems, car faults. That's not bad could be easily repaired and then run, because there rarely run into other cars, only rely on himself.
Now feel a bit tired to write in such a bumpy car really is not an easy thing to sleep a while feel bar!

O'clock last evening, at approximately 6,7 bar reached Golmud, in a local restaurant Chile Dun facet children. Back to the parking places, did feel a little leg hair floating point, not what the adverse reactions. However, since today morning had elevation of 4,000 meters above the five beams, the response to a sudden increase. Present feeling is that breath, headache Yu Lie, see the wind tears, was very uncomfortable. Now, pull off the road maintenance, but I almost do not brush, holding steady, so the word can only be set aside. Under the car around in circles, blowing a hair was slightly better, just spit it out almost disgusting. Lianyungang in front of me, a woman had been smoking several times oxygen. I do not know what will happen tonight, too Tanggula pass, but I decided not to oxygen, first, because the body will produce dependence, reaction will appear in the future, and second, to see if I can really survive a reaction to high altitudes. Peer partner Zhang (that is hairy, expedition leader, who only five people in the Han), Lin, Ngawang, Pub, Georgia is very concerned about the more I also doubt that I was not able to go to got-hi Himalaya mountains. They were all very abundant spirit, and I was Heaven and Hell. Now feel a little better, want to insist on living. Vehicle is likely to be tomorrow morning to Lhasa, 700 kilometers away from there.
Have just heard that the back pain from Henan woman because I can not stand to go under the car handles on the vessel designated open, bleeding himself is said to reduce the response.
This morning, had entered the Tibet Autonomous Region has. Is that only you can see the sky will not believe what I wrote, like, like the sea of blue, and green grassland on the ground like one, which is dotted with black, white yak.
I have to stay in the Yangtze River has a video source. Now our cars are driving on tanggulashanqu the car's hometown of Tibetan singing songs from time to time.

Just four 17,8-year-old climbers companion to see me, Lin asked me, not home to enjoy life, go to it to suffer. I recall just when it seems the most uncomfortable in a half awake state, I also wonder why want to come to this, now awake, and think it is going, not everyone has the opportunity to see the true capacity of Tibet, in-depth hinterland.
