Let me restate :
It is completely, 100% illegal to go through Tibet. With China’s birthday this year and the minorities “uprising “- this is no longer on my wish list of travel’s.
Also, my mom says, “it was difficult to see your fears written down in black and white”. Yes, but if I am smart and don’t travel once the sun sets – those blue trucks will not be running me off the road.
“Why don’t you take along someone else,” she asks. “Because, I don’t want to be responsible for anyone other than myself. I trust myself 100%, know enough Mandarin, Chinese culture and lifestyle, and started physically training over a month ago.” The only one I trust as much as myself…is my mother! Come on over Mom, let’s ride!!!
China Mongolia and dip into Russia.
May wait until after Chinese Lunar New Year to set off.
