A very lively down full of shopping peoples in YinchuanHeather and I decided to have another day of rest in Yinchuan cos' past 4 days had been hectic cycling average of 100km daily. Time to allow our legs and muscles to rest,it's still a long long journey to go. Wandering around the town,a very big & modern city full of xtvt, shopping complexes crowded with colorfully dressed locals. I managed to cash out 200usd traveller cheque to rmb for 1526 rmb. I hope this shud be enough to cover until Urumqi. Hard time to buy a dvd plain disc here as the shops only sell cdr. Tomorrow ride will be going south and plan to stay in QingtongXia. See you all on my next update,bye!

Hi Meng,
zhangtyco is right - you are like our Discovery Channel! Some of your photos really remind me of my own trips to China...
A suggestion for you: it might be a good idea to convert your 'Total spending to date' into a base currency like Malaysian Ringgits or something soon or else when you go to other countries with other currencies it will be like RMBxxx + this currency + that currency etc... You understand what I mean?

Asalamualaikum Brater!!!!!! So your are in the muslim world ya?? Make sure you behave yourself, dont come home minus 1cm eh ... Dont order roti chanai with pork curry ok!!!!
