The main event was the Sunday market. We took a taxi down to the market area reasonably early. At first we thought that there had been some sort of mistake as we couldn't see that much activity & there weren't that many people around however. We looked around a bit more & saw that the market stretched across a much larger area than we'd first thought. Then the swarms of people arrived. I supposed that many of them came from out of town as the place was filled with people with a 'country look'. There were a lot of fully covered women, a sight I hadn't seen since Iran, although they did so in a colourful Central Asian style, no black chadors here.
I've been enjoying traveling with Nick & we will continue traveling together to & also probably in Pakistan. We decided to stay in Kashgar until Wednesday or so & enjoy the nice cheap Chinese food here. Gaining a bit of weight before heading into the unknown along the Karakorum highway seems to make sense.
I spent the afternoon snoozing in the dorm room & chatting.
I cycled 0 km
