approached, I saw half the giant pyramid structure of the state something. This network is used to attack when the enemy came and said one rocket. They have more than one guard, was built in a roadside vantage point to look from a distance. Should anything happen is likely to flow towards the sky was smoke.

Contact the keeper of the cockatoo, I get the smoke from a rocket base and the next. Now let things be finished everything in one phone. None of these tools age and became an important contact network beacon units.

Barcol see the lake bed far from the beacon. Lakeside park road near the bus, go to breathe the air of nature. I could see Google Earth in the great blue lake, if the lake is the same as a normal view. Housing watching from a distance buses are going into the building to the city Barcol.

By the way, here is part of Barcol County Barcol. Province in China is as large as Japan's city, county or local district resources around Japan and China. So gon Province is the province Barcol very small. Town soon as Barcol, the planning stage will see the Garden Hotel Barcol was planning to stay.

Since one of the main street of the city center, making the city like I hit the city with a population of less than 5 million people in Japan say. How fucked up what the driver the wrong way. So as not to lead to the observed area the police were going to say that the contacts from the phone there. I ran 15 minutes after having wasted the way, you finally joined. While led by the police, the bus goes to the observing site.

Along the way, I saw three villages Santanghu. Smaller than the Barcol, the building was only a few shops and stores. The three foreign Santanghu no stay I, the invitation can stay away. But the room is made of inferior quality, not only beds are shared toilet. Kiyoshi Kiyoshi place is not very inviting, the level of Japanese people can not stand it because you have no hot water

City of Barcol
Along the way, there were three times checkpoints. The first checkpoint was directed here to open your luggage and check whether you've been riding for human contact and send a copy of your passport in advance. I put in place to comply with this observation, kindly help you.

The dirt road became paved roads, from around three Santanghu past. They are usually closed to traffic, will not only pave the gravel road I can not go into the public area. Km of the roadside stood guard at every military officials.

We have no time to eat dinner out, an unexpected delay in the bus ran on and go. Complete darkness came gradually fading twilight. While driving the car with the lights going.

Little sleep along the way too boring, so I wake in the night was slumbering or awake ... too hungry to repeat this extreme situation, the bus finally arrived at the observing site.

The observed area is dark and I could not see anything of course, dinner tent, where it is induced by making a meal (snack?) Ate. The light shines in the fluorescent light, water and food was carried. There was a chair and a washbasin in the bathroom to use a simple table. Wake to take a bath, but not here, as I have laughed out fine Sashizume Bath Set.

They contain food in the basin are picked up by your own style and eat it. Meat and vegetables come out and fried sidelines, palatable food that is no less honest. Observed during this meal there in the land, continued on and on.

(9)The night sky since I arrived at midnight
enjoyed the night sky has been directed to carry the baggage tent. Milky Way is clearly visible to the naked eye, even meteor streams at times. Err on the starry sky is sunny and beautiful everyday ... truly, where observations are not public officials enter its different. We reveal only two nights of our tour.

Ishii Kaoru Information center's solar eclipse, GPS eclipse prediction was calculated to determine the position of the local area observed. I have not slept barely cheers for good work. I was never too much sleep and he slept the next morning with a fairly starry observations.
