Out exploring in the farm beyond Korla, I came upon this old building bearing the star of the Communist Party. Upon further inspection, every room in the building is now being used as a toilet.

Talent shows are awesome! That's why I couldn't turn down an invite to hear teenagers sing Chinese pop songs at the Railway Middle School.

An instant classic! While making a video at the hatmatoi, I managed to capture both Lincoln and Big David showing off their Uyghur dancing styles. At the end of the clip, a teenage girl comes over to ask me to dance. How flattering! (Quicktime, approx. 8.5Mb)
