how the calabash got on my backpack
day 366: 石河å (Shihezi) = 0km
I did an interview with a local newspaper today. Since the reporters were very friendly and seemed interested in finding out about the project as a whole, I just showed them the photo set I had prepared for presentations:
See the little dude in the front who is laughing at some stupid episode during the walk? His name is éƒå¿—豪 (Yu Zhihao), and he is 11 years old. Here’s another picture with him and another little friend:
I was very surprised and very touched, when he presented me with a beautiful 葫芦 (hulu – calabash) he had carved and colored by hand. I put it on my backpack and now I am taking it wherever I went:
As a good luck charm.

Hi Christoph,
looks like your meeting some wonderfully friendly people out there. Makes a trip all the more memorable and pleasurable I find.
That’s a lovely picture of you with the kids, guess you’ll never forget them carrying that flambouyantly coloured calabash around.

Hast du ärger mit der Grenzpolizei? Bist du schon an der Grenze angekommen?
In deinen ‘updates comments’ stand ‘ACAB!!…’ und danach ‘the nightmare just ended…’ — (acab=all c*** are bastards???)
Bin schon gespannt was da los war.
Gute Reise

Ich guck auch schon jeden Tag wann es Neuigkeiten gibt, hoffe Du beschreitest schöne menschenleere Strasse und wirst nicht von blöden Menschen genervt.
Gute Reise, viel Gesundheit und keine Probleme!
