The way today from south part of Lake Toktogul to the next valley was the sequence of small up and down, with wind occasionally blowing against me from the west. I was a little irritated with the slow pace of mine.
The view of the valley reminded me the way from Matsumoto to Kamikochi in Japan, though the scale was larger here. There were no obnoxious sign boards or slogans along the way as there were in China. There were few people along the way, and few cars on the road. Autumn leaves were beautiful.
There were as many domestic animals on the way as yesterday. And again many dogs chased after me. Stupid bastards!
I found a hard wooden stick with a broken end on the road in the evening, which was probably used by nomads to chase their animals. Wouldn't it work against dogs? I happily picked it up, repaired my new weapon at night in the darkness.
