A.Volkov and I.Dusharin with the summit certificate
|
DUSHARIN:
We had serious problems connected with Carlos. The cameleers leader was
pushing Carlos hard, bleeding money from him and threatening him with imprisonment.
It was a serious threat and it was real. Thank God, we were able to go
over that. In Yecheng civilization started again. Finally, we bought enough
food at the market. In Kashgar we were preparing all the necessary documents,
including the painful responsibility to register the death of Igor. In
the hotel the Chinese officials presented us with the summit certificate.
It was made in Chinese emperor style: gold on red velvet. What an unexpected
pleasure! It was a sign of attention that is so unusual for China. |
