day 313: 星星峡 (xingxingxia) = 0km

I found some good things in 星星峡 (xingxingxia).

First I found food, then I found a friend:

Abduweli, who’s not only a cargo hygiene inspector but also a photography enthusiast, immediately understood my wish to leave a graffito on the rocks and helped me come up with a can of spray paint.

Yes, that’s right:

We got the cameras and a tall ladder, then we picked out a good piece of rock and I started spraying away while Abduweli was in charge of taking pictures.

I think he did an especially great job portraying my strong legs and firm derriere:

Really, an excellent job! Thanks, Abdu!!

I included a video that I dubbed over with the sound of a 10-year-old telling a joke in a restaurant:

The joke is about a German, an American, and a Chinese dude, and it involves a fart in a cave.

The video footage has me using up the black spray paint and then waiting for Abduweli to come up with a can of red paint.

When that one is used up as well, the video eventually stops because the memory chip runs of out space.

…

Abduweli didn’t run out of ideas though, so he eventually got me this oil-based paint and a brush to finish the job:

Et voilà:

I’ll leave a marker in the GE-file to point out where to find this.
