Thanks for the reply, Now I work as a Rope Technician, baisically working at hights on buildings and structures, doing inspections and work that can not be accesed by any other means. Before that, actually since leaving university I have been an Outdoor Education Instructor , Senior Instructor, Chief Instructor and Centre Manager all over Europe and a little work in South Africa. Mainly working with Children with difficulties....I loved the work soooo much but unfortunatly the pay is appaling which is why I chose for the chanhe in job.. I have work in Belgium lined up and Im negotiating for a contract in Singapore right now. What do you do?
Kind Regards

Good point, watermelons ARE heavy.

You could probably go with jolly ranchers or peppermint candies.

And, I appreciate your consideration about nose spike pulling. So do the camels I'm sure.

They do seem somewhat fierce hooved creatures but I think thats because they aren't treated very well. I would spit and bite too if someone shoved a wooden stake behind my nose and tugged on it all the time.

But, after my Silk Road trip I've found I need to re-examine the creature we commonly call camel. I think they are sweet and gentle if you treat them nicely or feed them watermelon.

Best bet, if you come toe-to-toe with a camel, feed it watermelon and don't tug on its nose spike.

thank u for ur reply. i know what u mean is, if i'm free, i'll do it. now, my website has finished, so what i need to do is promotion and publicity. frankly speaking, i feel a little stressful, especially when i saw someone said i should improve my translation today.

hope everything goes well.

I'm not sure if I say thank you for that comment on Jiayuguan... but I'll say it anyway. ;-)

Just kidding, the place wasn't all that interesting, I realized that as I was writing the report. the only fun part was the camel.

You should give camels a chance.

Hungarian is my native language, English is one of my most endeared languages next to French and Italian. I am living in Romania, therefore I speak Romanian, too. I suppose you speak lots of languages, your reports are amazing, all these emanate that your "religion" is travelling. With each journey one becomes more open minded. How open-minded must you be...!

I hadn't heard of this discovery. I will be heading back north at new year and will hopefully have an odd day to do some wandering round and perhaps take some new pictures!
