Between China and Pakistan
This was snapped from the back of a bus on a 2-day journey from Kashgar in Xinjiang Province, western China, down into Pakistan.
After my journey across China from Shanghai to Kashgar, the first thing I did as I crossed the border into Pakistan was to have a cup of proper tea. The owner of the tea-shop was so amused when I explained why I was so happy to drink it that he would not take any money for it (which was just as well, as I’d not yet changed my yuan into rupees).
May, 1996
