Back on the blog from Mongolia!
Sorry for the interruption in our 'tribal' adventures but as we feared, the Chinese authorities are not fond of free speech, even on the net!
We have been in Mongolia for over a week now! We have already explored the Gobi desert and its wonders. We are hoping to also see the central or northern part of the country before we cross again the border to go back into China.
The last two months (July and August) spent in south-west China, mainly in the provinces of Guangxi and Guizhou were difficult at times but also very enriching. We came across different ethnic minorities such as the Miao, Dong, Shui, Zhuang, Bouyi, Yao and Gejia people. We even got invited to a 'tribal' wedding and got drunk with our hosts on the local rice brew.
Too many stories to sum up in a single blog entry and we are trying to find a way to blog from China next time round so you don't loose anything :))
We will write a couple more entries for Mongolia as we also hope to visit some ethnic minorities here. However, transportation can be quite critical and internet access , outside of Ulanbataar, the capital, is virtually impossible, so thanks again for your patience :))
Don't hold your breath but keep your eyes peeled!
Send us your comments and suggestions if you have any for Mongolia and China :))
