Registration of visitors (/trespassers)

Registration of all visitors are compulsory for everyone going to the East Pole, due to its strategic military position. We had a lot of trouble as we did not do it before we arrived on the island, it should be done in the ferry departure city ShenJiaMen.

Alle som skal til østpolen må registrere seg før de drar ut til øygruppen, det gjorde ikke vi…

Local fishing community

The small fisher community counts some 6000 in the East Poles, quite a contrast to the hustle and bustle just across the water to china mainland.

Det lille fisker samfunnet teller ca 6000 mennesker, og det er en ganske stor contrast til mas og trengsel over på kinesisk fastland.

More than what I bargained for..

I bargained for: filling up my tummy, possibly also at a favorable price? Although the friendly “fishermans’s lodge” were run by a hospitable elderly woman, I seriously question the freshness of some of the seafood served, I was sick many days later.

Vi bodde for 50 spenn pr natt/seng hos en lokal fiskerfamilie. De var hyggelige, og vi klarte oss fint med en enkel standard, men magasjauen flere dager i etterkant kunne jeg gjerne vært foruten (tviler på hvor fersk all sjømaten vi ble servert var).

"Last man in - is a sissy"

… I think we can surely say Gjert was the Sissy, but razor sharp shells, high sea, ice cold water, and no beach meant we couldn’t just plunge into it neither. Noteworthy though is the cleanness of the water compared to closer coastlines.

“Siste mann uti er en pyse”! Tror vi trygt kan si at Gjert tok tittelen, skjønt med barberblad skarpe skjell, høy sjø, iskaldt vann, og fravær av strand gjorde at vi måtte modere oss. Vannet skal dog sises at var det reneste jeg har sett i Kina.

Catch her if you can

This beautiful chick is single, so go catch her if you can, but keeping her won’t be easy …

Denne vakre madammen er nå singel, så prøv å sjekk henne opp mens du kan, men å beholde henne i lengden kan vise seg å bli utfordrene ...

The great wall - conqurred at last

I have been a few times to the wall, but this is the first time to such a
remote part of it. We started out somewhere in JianKou area and headed east
for 6-7 hours before we reached MoTianYu.

Jeg har vært noen ganger på den kinesiske muren, men dette er første gangen
til en så øde del av den. Vi startet å gå ett sted i JianKou området, og
gikk 6-7 timer før vi nådde MoTianYu.

Reduced to rubbles

Several sections of the Great wall are pretty much just a heap of rubbles,
even dangerous if not cautious.

Flere deler av den kinesiske muren er redusert til noen steinhauger, sogar
farlig om man ikke er varsom.

Overgrown wall

In some sections the wall were falling apart, in other places the vegetation
were reclaiming its former lands.

I noen seksjoner er muren falleferdig, andre steder er vegetasjonen på full
fremmars for å kreve tilbake landet sitt.

Daniel and cousin

Daniel did not only "bring" me with him on the trip (thanks), he also
brought along his cousin that is living with us for a week now.

Daniel brakte ikke bare meg med på turen, han tok også med seg sitt yngre
søskenbarn som også bor hos oss i en uke nå.
