Xinjiang Vacation

Okay - Just back from our short vacation, we will start to talk about the trip tomorrow (09/14/2009). Just noticed today that the blog post I wrote last week before we left was still in draft mode and never published, that was my mistake - read this now as if it was posted a week ago (because if you look I backdated the post to when we actually left):

Today we leave for a week long trip to the Xinjiang Province, so there will be a bit of internet silence until we get back. As far as we know there is no internet access at all in that corner of China, they disconnected it when they had the riots there back in July, and since Urumqi (our first stop) was just in the news again yesterday we are not expecting it to be turned on anytime soon...

Alright, talk to you all in 10 days.

Yep, we were ready to call the American Embassy to check on the Wichmann's, but then I noticed your calendar. Was surprised you didn't post something about your upcoming trip, but there you go.

Yeah - sorry about that, I know how you are always waiting for our next post. I'm going to blame the fact that it was really early in the morning and there was some last minute packing as the reason that I somehow missed hitting "Publish". It shouldn't happen again...
