Black Stool Pain Under Ribs

unsuccessful trip to the West Sichuan Leshan Buddha

broke down as the idea of \u200b\u200bTibet, I stated that I go to the west of Sichuan, to the old Tibetan province of Kham, for 3 days. Not quite made it. First I went to
Kargding village on the way to Tibet, Tibetan 50% 50% Han (Chinese people). After 6h, winding roads and passing about 100 military trucks full of Soldiers (main road to Tibet) arrived at the place. The city itself is not doing a great impression, it is quite modern and very long, narrow valley thrust into. How was I was swarmed with police, a branch wojka marched in the pworotem and the main street, but it was quiet. You can see it was
with a pretty Tibetan town - Bon poroawieszane flags everywhere, part of the people carried the traditional costumes ... I went a little sightseeing - Monastery Tibetan (llamasarium?) Did a great impression on me - big, full col prayer, and most importantly, readers llamow sacred mantra aloud to the root courtyard. I met a couple of reporters there, Reuters, as we know Tibet is now a hot topic, so they found themselves in Kargding. Very nice talking with them. I drove to a nearby also up, with Kotra were to be beautiful views ... maybe if that were not covering their views of trees everywhere in the dollars. In the evening I met
one interesting half-Tibetan, and together they went to the hostel moejgo. What it turned out, just in the hostel was also his friend, and finally to know we talked on the bottom - the hostel warden, I am, he and a friend. I tried to learn some Chinese, and even the little they made it. Generally, it was a fairly successful day.
can not be said of another. The next stop was to be Danba, a city famous for its nearby villages and beautiful Tibetan watchtowers of the Qing Dynasty (17-20 centuries). The road there is 4 hours by a narrow valley (canyon?), The mole, half-gravel road full of small mines on the sides, most of them probably dug by the locals. After 3.5 hour drive by minibus (and one rubber) got to the police checkpoint. The police checked my passport a good 2 minutes, and gestures gave me that I need to go back. I do not know why until the end, maybe it the visa was issued in Japan and I was Polish? So the next 3.5 hours from August telepalem powortem (no side road is not there, another rubber, another minibus), then go to Chengdu, 7h, 14h, ie the day in the car after veeery bad road, and saw Danby ... not dying on this mazylem, but no coz.
