Njengoba sasihlela, ngifunda i-e-book yakwa- Josh Summers e- Xinjiang: Umhlahlandlela Wabahambi WaseMpumalanga Kina futhi futhi wakhuthaza ama-Old Road Tours.
Ngakho angizange ngibheke phambili lapho siqala ukuhlela ukuhamba kwethu e-Xinjiang.
I-Old Road Tours Agency
I-agency ngokwayo iqhutshwa nguMnu. Abdul Wahab nabafowabo eKashgar. Bonke bafundiswa kakhulu futhi bazibandakanya ngezilimi eziningi ezihlanganisa isiNgisi, isiFulentshi, isiJalimane, isiRashiya, isiMandarin nesi-Uyghur. Bazinikele ekufundiseni izivakashi mayelana nobuhle bemasiko ase-Uyghur ngakho-ke ungakwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi kukhona "okuyiqiniso" okuhlangenwe nakho lapho usebenzisa le nhlangano.
Sithole injabulo yokuhlangana noMnu Wahab nomndeni wakhe. Ngithemba ukuthi izingane zami zingakwazi ukuxhumana nabantwana base-Uyghur ngokuvakashela isikole noma okufanayo kodwa sasihamba ngeholide lesikole. Kodwa ukwazi ukuthi izingane zami zifisa ukuba nesipiliyoni esihle, uMnu. Wahab wasibizela sonke ekhaya lakhe isidlo sakusihlwa sase-Uighur. Lokhu kwakuyinto ekhethekile ngempela kithi. Izingane zethu zadlala ngempela ngenjabulo futhi sachitha isikhathi esiningi sixoxisana noMnu Wahab, umkakhe nomndeni owandisiwe futhi sifunda okwengeziwe ngokuhlala eKashgar.
Ukunquma Uhambo
Ngokujwayelekile uma uqasha i-agent yezokuvakasha e-China, uxoxisana amasonto (okungenani, uma kungenjalo izinyanga) uhambo lwakho futhi emva kokuthola izinto, uyasayina inkontileka futhi wenze idiphozi. Lokhu kwakunjalo nge-Old Road Tours.
Saqala izingxoxo mayelana nohambo lwethu ngoMeyi ngohambo luka-Okthoba 2015.
Kwakukhona okuningi ngemuva nangemva. Ngenkathi sinezinsuku zethu ezikhohlisiwe, sasingaqiniseki ukuthi sizoqala kuphi futhi siqede uhambo lwethu noma kuphi. Saqeda ukukhipha ingxenye yonke yohambo (sasifuna ukuya eHotan eSouth Xinjiang) lapho sesiqonda kangcono amabanga futhi siphelela iKashgar neKarakoram Highway ingxenye yokuqala yohambo bese u-Urumqi noTurpan ingxenye yesibili yohambo.
Kwakunzima ukwenza isinqumo sokusika sonke isigaba kodwa sasihamba nezingane kanye nezindawo ezide, sanquma ukuthi kungcono ukugxila ezindaweni ezimbili kunokuba sichithe izinsuku zokuhamba zonke nje ukusho ukuthi siye kwenye indawo eyodwa . (Ngizodinga uhambo lwesibili!)
Ukubhuka
Ngokuvamile, ungashiya yonke into eqenjini lika-Abdul futhi bazokwenza izincomo futhi ungalandela. Noma, uma unjengami, ngenza ucwaningo kusengaphambili futhi ngidinga kuphela ukuthi bangisize ngibone indlela engcono yokubona konke okuluhlu lwami nokuthi kungcono kangakanani ukukubeka ndawonye. Ngangiphakamisile amahhotela, futhi, nakuba ngifuna ukuzwa izincomo zabo. Ngakho ngokubhuka, ungaba ngezandla noma ngezandla njengoba ukhululekile.
Lapho sesiqedile uhambo, ithimba lika-Abdul lenze izincomo zehhotela.
Kulokhu, sinezidingo zamagumbi eziphambene nangasemuva (batusa amakamelo amabili ngomndeni kodwa sanquma, njengoba izingane zethu zisemncane, ukuthi igumbi elilodwa ngomndeni ngamunye onemibhede eyengeziwe kuyoba kuhle). Izincomo zabo zendawo yehhotela zihambisana nokucwaninga kwami ngakho sazibeka ezincwadini amahotela, becabanga ukuthi bazothola isilinganiso esingcono njengenkampani yokuhamba.
Ukukhokha
Ngemuva kokuba konke ukubhuka kwenziwe futhi kuvunyelwene, senze idiphozi engu-50%. Lena yindlela evamile evunyelwe (amanye ama-agent adinga ukukhokha okuphansi, ezinye zidinga ukukhokha ngokugcwele). Ukukhokha kokugcina bekumele kufike lapho sifika.
Ngenze iphutha lokuhlela ukukhokhela ukukhokha kokugcina ngemali lapho ufika ukuze ugweme imali engu-1% ekuthengisweni kwekhadi kodwa lokhu kwakuyiphutha. Ukuthola imali eyaneleyo kuma-ATM eKashgar kwakungelula. Ngeluleka ukukhokha ngokudluliselwa kwebhange ngaphambi kohambo lwakho noma ngekhadi lapho ufika.
Izikhombisi ze-Old Road Tours
Sasiba neziqondiso ezimbili ezihlukene phakathi nohambo lwethu. U-Ali, umdabu waseKashgar, wahlangana nathi eKashgar futhi wayengumqondisi wethu kulo lonke uhambo lwethu esifundeni. U-Ahmed, wase-Urumqi, wayeyisiqondiso sethu ku-Urumqi noTurpan.
Noma kunini lapho kungenzeka khona ngizama ukusebenzisa amanxusa wendawo noma kuphi lapho ngiya khona ngoba anikeza ubuchwepheshe bendawo. Izinhlangano ezinkulu ezivela emizini emikhulu enikeza izinkambo kulo lonke elaseChina zingaba zihle kakhulu, futhi-ke ngisebenzise abaningi, kodwa abanakho ukuzinikezela okufanayo ukuthi inhlangano yendawo inayo. Lokho engangikuthandayo ngempela ngamaholide ase-Old Road Tours yindlela esizizwa ngayo ukuthi bayasinakekela. Umsebenzi wabo, yiqiniso, ukusihola ngokusekelwe kuloluhambo. Kodwa kunezimo eziningana lapho izimo zasiholela khona ukuba sicele ushintsho endleleni futhi kokubili u-Ali no-Ahmed babengazitholi kuphela lezi zinguquko, bazincoma kwezinye izimo, benza ukuvakasha kwethu kujabulise nakakhulu.
Zombili lezi ziqondiso ziyi-Uyghur futhi zamukele imibuzo yethu kanye nesithakazelo ngetiko labo. Sasizizwa benza konke okusemandleni ukuze basibonise izinto ezivelele zezifunda zabo ngokulandelana. Njengesibonelo sezimanga ezingalindelekile ezenza uhambo oluhle lukhunjulwe, endleleni eya emyuziyamu weTurpan, u-Ahmed wasibiza ngaphesheya komgwaqo lapho umdayisi enza khona ama-dumplings amasha. Ephekwe ngaphakathi kwehhavini elikhulu elifana ne-tandoor, ama-dumplings ayezobe esilungele futhi isixuku esikhulu sihlangene.
U-Ahmed wamtshela ukuthi umpheki wayengumngane omdala futhi wakwazi ukuthenga ambalwa amadokhumani ukuba sizame. Sonke sasinxuse ukuthi sonke singabelana ngambalwa phakathi kwethu. Kodwa ngemva kokuqothula abambalwa, u-Ahmed wathokoza ngenjabulo ulaka lwesixuku esilindile ukuze sithole ngaphezulu. Ukuma ilanga lasekuseni elimnandi ekhoneni lomgwaqo ukudla ukudla okumnandi kwamanoni nesixuku sendawo kungenzeka ukuthi yiyodwa yezinto esizozikhumbula kakhulu ngoTurpan. Futhi lokhu kwakungeke kwenzeke uma u-Ahmed engakaze anqume ukulibala ukungena emnyuziyamu.
I-Old Road Tours - Amanani
Angizange ngizothengise okuningi ngale nhlangano. Ngoba beza kakhulu benconywa futhi bahlangabezana nesilinganiso sami senhlangano yendawo, sazizwa sikhululekile ukuyisebenzisa. Ngaqhathanisa amanani abo acatshangwayo kwezinye izinkambo ezifanayo engizenzile futhi ngithole ukuthi zihambisana ngokulinganayo.
Nakuba kuvamile embonini yezokuvakasha ukuba abalobi banikwe ngezinsizakalo zamahhala, lokhu kubuyekezwa kusekelwe ekuhlangenwe nakho komlobi ngaphandle kweSaphulelo, ngezindleko zakhe.
