Mike,

Stumbling onto these pictures, I knew I was onto something good again in the blogosphere, and after doing some further browsing through your blog, I was indeed not deceived. I like the focus you keep in your blogging activities: you live in Xinjiang and that is what you report and what you show. Great job. I hope I'll go there also ... one day. Though I've seen a fair share of China in my China-days, never really got to the North-West.

By the way, I liked your pictures so much I made it a little topic over at my site and I posted one as example. Hope you don't mind. If you have a problem, I'll take it down immediately

DUDE! the yellow hat looks awesome on you. maybe you should join up and get one...

And to the stupid idiots who commented on the previous posts, you are lucky that the comment session is closed, otherwise you will have you mothers tied up and raped by animals. To the stupid tibetans who will never learn, remember this, crossing the border without permit is a crime, and when commiting the crime and asked to stop by police/soliders, listen to them. Otherwise don't cry when you get your ass kicked.

Sigh. All I can ask is why?
