“Thank you so much, Jane! It was only about six months ago that I first learned Xinjiang had such a fascinating history and culture, as well as so many beautiful landscapes. Xinjiang was truly an amazing place, even more wonderful than I had imagined! The people around me seemed quite busy, so it was difficult to ask anyone to join me. But I didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so I decided to travel abroad alone for the first time.Thanks to the warm hospitality and kindness of everyone I’ve met in China, I’ve been able to enjoy my journey safely and comfortably. I’m truly grateful! When I return to Japan, I’d like to show my photos and videos to my family, friends, and colleagues and share with them how wonderful Xinjiang is.I definitely want to visit Hoh Xil someday, as well as many other parts of China. Xinjiang in particular has become a place that I would really love to visit again.Also, there doesn’t seem to be any change to my flight from Kashgar to Urumqi, so I should be able to visit the Sunday Bazaar! I’m flying back to Japan on the same day, and the flights are on separate tickets, so that’s the only thing I’m a little worried about, haha. But even if something happens, I’m sure it’ll make a good story to tell over drinks when I get home, so I’ll stay positive!Hi Jane! I made it back to Japan safely. Thank you so much for everything!At the livestock market, I got to see the sheep and cattle before they become all the delicious food I’d been eating throughout my trip. So in a funny way, I ended my journey by seeing where it all begins!Thank you again for making my trip to Xinjiang such a wonderful experience. I really hope to come back someday!”
