(I’m specifically talking to you ‘Merica!)
For many many many reasons. But when you can sit at a restaurant and chat up the boss man for awhile…you leave with a full belly and a FREE meal! He was very kind and it’s happened before…but not that often from the actual owner.
I’m not sure whats going to happen when I tour Central Asia and can’t turn on my Mandarin speaking charm.
Route 218 is mostly Han, but EVERYONE is so fantastically kind. Beyond kind…unbelievable. The owner’s of my zhusu…the man is Uyghur and the woman in Han. Excellent! World Peace!
