Between fire and stars, a uniform and awakening

After months in a city with millions of inhabitants, where there are always people and you're never alone, finding yourself in a place where the spaces are dilated and humans disappear made me feel a po'frastornato. Or maybe it was just the baijiu (typically, a distillate Chinese) Mongolian who was introduced as "naijiu" (nai means milk, but I did not investigate further). In the evening there was a show in the square, certainly much kitcheria (The Golden Khan megagengis center stage, but come on), but also a lot of tradition and local customs. The megabraciere that warmed the heart a po'gli spectators, the music of traditional instruments, dancing around the fire final (photo below, with an expression that speaks for itself).

And everything went cold, as if to say, you wanted to do the Mongol? And do it all the way now. That's why I had to take my jacket. The hot day above 30 degrees is transformed here into a cold night of 7-8 degrees. And I have discovered a constant (it seems) of all China: it is unknown whether they have produced too many or stolen, or replaced, the fact remains that this country seems to have a sovrapresenza of military uniforms, now recycled and rented a little ' everywhere.

Reason for fashionable holiday survival in the cold night and a few minutes looking up or, in other words, the stars. Despite my total ignorance on the subject I love them. Often, in the mountains because I love to watch the city lights the cover. Here in China everything is exponential in the city do not see nearly so, a bit 'because it is large, a po'perchè pollution is appalling. At the same time there in the middle of nowhere, I saw the biggest starry sky of my life. 360 degrees without a cloud, without a light. Spectacular .. How spectacular was not waking up after esattamento warm bed at night. A video comically sad, you can also give an idea of the show the day before, is available here (1.90 Mb) . Remember that you need the DivX Player 6 or higher.
