urumqi - first

once a cordial thank-beautifully to all, which pressed me the thumbs! the latter meet were very arduous for my nerves, but like it goes now everything seems well.for those, it yet did not receive follows an edited version.I am already since 4 meet in urumqi. last Thursday (on 16.6.) I was in Peking, when my hotel drew the attention of me to the fact that my visa is no longer all too for a long time valid. they added, I might remain up to 18., afterwards there would be two possibilities. either I submit an official to write from the police that I get an extension, or however evenly for their part to 19 would contact her. the police… is also understandable, history in Germany probably not differently would run. stupidly only that I actually already approximately 2.1 million official write from any internal-Mongolian police-placed, from the charring mine boss, from the State Department of ningxia, of actually everyone kaff in the bag it had. unfortunately all these beautiful red stamps did not bring nothing at all. and like that the attempt was from the beginning useless in principle in Peking at the authority. finally hard TIG and I have next after the second unsuccessful police-visit tomorrow decided that I take better the next after machine urumqi. thus I had to pay willy-nilly the full price and sat in the afternoon in the flier. without suit-cases by the way, because I had taken only light combat pack into account for Peking. stupidly run - saved on the other hand however the annoying warterei to luggage-bound. well, the flight went around even quite fast - 4 granted was it, once across to China. from the flier risen the heat met me xinjiangs, those me still longer will accompany (more beautifully would however be it, if my shower on the room would funtionieren and I had a refrigerator - however only so at the edge…). ümüt for my arrival if everything had organized perfectly, I from a friend had been fetched, could draw into my Chinese student hostel (with the hand baggage) and to to eat with ümüts woman more güher and its son ögdür had met. on Friday I am immediately again to the police. problem this time: my health certificate from Germany. the Chinese behind his flag somehow did not so really impress. probably it wanted to only prove that the Chinese physicians are just as good as the Germans. greet on uli here! the ladies and gentlemen in the international medicine center repeated genuinly so rather the entire investigations of you. which I am to say, I had my own needle with blood-remove, with the ultrasonic likewise probably with lubricates gone around, those heart lady doctor hair-exactly organized after a short view of the electrocardiogram in its smart booklet my small zipperlein discovered… indeed very well. with it differentiated however that me the three-hour fun cost to only 30 euro; -)I could fetch the results not until today, am now proud owner of a Chinese health certificate. the most important however: I can fetch my visa on Friday. the day of yesterday (illegal in China) was thus probably gotten over without consequences. I will be pleased correctly however only if I again in the hands hold my loved passport. at present it is a 80%-freuer. in addition, comes well.so, which we have still. thus, pictures of my bude are attached. meanwhile I am with decoration-work under way. pictures hang etc. up.a few general imprints too urumqi. hard TIG, you was right. the city is genuinly the hammer. cannot be compared with other Chinese cities. here humans are called evenly no longer wang and liu, but mehmet and abdulrahman. I ate naturally already various pointed. indeed lecker. whereby was noticeable to me, which consists the common uighurische spiess of five pieces meat. first is always the best piece, very soft and at the same time knusprig. then always the piece comes fat as the second, which can be eaten however, because it is outside knusprig and strongly peppered and in addition provides for the taste. the third and fourth piece is through-grows, there must one either through or but look which be eaten can. too better lastly finely roasted piece follows. altogether many kebabtiere for me you will have live to let… which with this heat by the way is very pleasant: if I look from my window, then I see in the far extremely high mountain range. so highly that snow lies there! beautiful thing! if my view about 100 m curves to the right, then I see 25 floors a high new house there. there all inhabitants pull at one time in these meet. that is gewusel - nicely to regard. and in the middle in it ümüt including clan. those pull stick in the 15. a very beautiful dwelling with geilem view over the city - shortly I make of it pictures. directly before my window the sport area of the university extends. there I become in the morning always beautifully awake, if the first studis its basketball (that have here all, must times look where one that somehow in vain gets…) to bounce leave. that can be done then all day long over so to approximately 1 o'clock at night. then I may sleep.a while ago (meanwhile it is Tuesday) I was with ümüt on greeting-round in the faculty. me first times all names noted and in addition, who speaks English, German or kisuaheli. because some, which studied times in Germany, a mathematics professor ran away to us for example coincidentally over that, that 4 years are actual long with ümüt in Berlin lived. all seemed to be very friendly - the lady of the post office I equal times beautiful eyes made - who white to which that is good…
I become shortly also times a testweise package on travel send. at whom, I decide after receipt of your packages!tomorrow has I mean first lecture! on Chinese. the dekan asked me whether I would have heard interest something over geography xinjiangs. me it made sure briefly whether there are pictures to see and then naturally affirmatively. that gives determines a large hello in the hall! I meet shortly with then with ralf. ralf comes from Germany and over ümüt before three years to the university came. as an exchange student. my predecessor thus. if I meet with it, then I fly for it however not to Germany - he married, speaks meanwhile one uighurin flowing the language,… . I wanted to write only times evenly. I am Christmas again there. promised! my foot-chained I did not durchgekriegt up to then - topic.
go to accusing, the pictures not until tomorrow…

Turkish double wedding, part II

title of the today's report: „Turkish double wedding, part II “. jawohl, it is again so far! bake again in yinchuan. whereupon I waited: garlic salad for breakfast. that brings all life spirit back to the drums. and here it disturbs none. I would like times a short overview of the highlights of the latter meet give. we have altogether four meet in alashan and/or gulaben spent, and were there very well taken up. all humans, particularly the unbelievably squinting liu, were terribly friendly and helpful. I have myself mainly with two Chinese of the country and resources management office rumgetrieben, spoke outstanding English. besides we could manufacture contact in such a way to residents an Australian organization, which is active likewise in the environmental range. with we parting-eat so a rather international troop on Friday evening were. German, whereby jolanta in polarize is born (by the way in gleiwitz, robi!), then Australian (one was born in Wales - there one had to listen very exactly…), then stop Chinese, in addition was spoken uighurisch and Mongolian. I believe, we was against three o'clock in bed, and like that I was not yesterday correct so on the height. but we could drink yesterday in yinchuan cafe correct in best western the hotel. and I gegönnt myself a cup of ice-cream. is European, there nix Chinese is bar there to, and thus I could for one grant there perfectly to switch off, with English music. it became at the night unfortunately not so correctly coldly, under 25° the temperatures somehow did not probably sink. now ists already again correctly hot.in alashan we ate in a Chinese pizzeria. those had more esther times discovered. and we know now that there is there correct pizza, with correct cheese (one does not find otherwise)! why in the wild so ne bude does not stand just in the middle - a notion. we assumed that an Italian student was located there chained in the kitchen. in addition there was by the way ginger beer, also very bekömmlich. beside cucumber beer we had already pineapple beer (with ice cubes in it). in addition there was wine, which tasted French to alashan a very very good 92er. for 3 euro the bottle besides affordably.I had placed pictures in the net, under it the day before yesterday to one of a super8trudelmaschine. those is used, in order to throw seeds off over the wild, so that the surface is fastened and is not constantly whirled up the sand. if we had remained longer one day, then we had probably also been able to along-fly… however simply from the soil the machine to look at itself, is also completely pleasant in principle.today I with ümüt times to sight, which we so far everything at materials to have collected and which we must absolutely translate. I will then probably make that in urumqi with students together, because does not come here ümüt at the whole organization rather to it. in addition I should bring directly times a Chinese virus program on my computer, so that not at one time my whole pictures away are.a genuinly ingenious experience had we before star also still. in the afternoon we drove to our driver with liu and into the mountains, where we visited a temple. stood in approximately 2300m height on nem mountain, and that away there was so rather the direct. the Chinese love it to build stairs. and in such a way led innumerable gradate up. interesting - however somehow not so completely my conception of a mountain migration. nevertheless, we were compensated by a gigantic view - on side the complete chained helan shan (starting from a certain height there correct forests and it stand give pointed!) up to 3500m, and on the other side evenly the view rises far far into the wild inside. there I could look then direction urumqi. to there there nch thousands kilometer, it gives however only two or three cities on that away…the most beautiful however was the smell in saves. it smelled as in the alps, and that was times a correctly beautiful feeling! because otherwise China does not smell necessarily now well, if I may so generally summarize. but grant this few in save - class!with it the current report ends! I wish you which!I dreamed letztens times about one grill evening with save ribs in Dortmund. wärs now. greet to all - meet until!
