I'm back from Vacation :)

(* Coaster that I bought from Dunhuang)

I just back from my 18-days long vacation.

The trip was very different from the ordinary one that I joined previously.
We , 22 backpackers, flied to Xinjiang, follow the route of ancient people (of course, our route is not difficult as like the past) to Silk Road China and ended the journey in Xi'an.

I enjoy the experience of stayed in Kazakh Yurt / Mongolian tent (in such breezing cool weather , -3 celcius at night time !!!) , climbed the mountain to have great view of Tianshan & Tianchi, climbed the 1,308 steps of Flaming Mountain, walked to one of the tip of sand dunes, visited to Tibetan Monastery, glacier walk, cycled on the ancient wall of Xian (approx. 13km in 1 hour..huh) and so much more great experience.

I have so many backlogs (after so many days off)
for e.g. e-mail to reply, postcard to send, travel journal to complete, blog to visit, challenge to participate :)
I feel so good to return to artland after so many days re-charge !!!

Thank you to my beloved husband, my blogger friend who visited me and leave me comments, Yongo backpackers, colleagues & friends.
