English summary: Still hacked off with China. Loud tooting Chinese drivers, unreasonable Chinese military…but there are some nice Chinese people. A road construction gang insisted that I join them for lunch. It was the same spicy noodles that I had eaten for the last five days, but hey, it was free and the company was appreciated.

まだ怒っています。中国人、クラクションを使うな!

でもそれよりも、疲れています。相当疲れています。長い、長い、舗装していない登坂が一日続いていました。

ま、でもそのなか、やさしい人々もいました。この道路をよくしようとしている建設の人々です。昼ご飯をぜひ一緒に食べましょうといわれて、一緒にめしをたべました。もちろんお金を出しませんでした。ありがとうございます!最高です。

One of the many road gangs working hard to fix up the really, really bad road between Balguntay and Narat, western China / 道路を作る友達 - バルグンタイ町へ向かって(中国)

There are a lot of women in that road working gang. Obviously women over there do the same sort of work as men.

Love the fact that you are leaning down to be the same height as the 'nice Chinese people.' You are so tall, Rob!
