カシュガルでは中華料理に買い物でのんびり過ごす。 これまでの国で最も物が豊富で非常に驚く。スーパーのコーナー一つが 調味料で占められ、ティッシュペーパーまで売っているとは・・・ （誰かがボソッと「中国全員が先進国の生活をしたら地球は潰れるな・・・） そして夜は宿のみんなで中華料理を囲んでビールの日々。 骨休めのハズが飲みすぎ食べすぎで お腹の調子はキルギスよりも悪かった・・・（料理は美味しいが油が多すぎて）
I spend 3 relaxing days in Kashgar. There are many items in the supermarket, I could buy some item. I was supprised very much because one coner of supermarket was for only spices, and ohter corner was for only tissue paper. I never watch many items in the shops before I enterd in this turing. In the every evening, Japanese turist and I went to Chinese food restrant and ate good tast foods, drank beers. I ate and drank very much, so my stomach was very bad... It were not relaxing days for my health.... (Another reason was Chinese foods used huge oil to cook them.)
