Intshayelelo
Ndinegama lekhadi likaMnu. Abdul Wahab's Old Road Tours kwi-Guide ye-Silk Road guide eneminyaka emininzi. Umhlobo wam useyisebenzise inkampani ukulungiselela uhambo lwakhe ukuya e-Xinjiang kwaye ikhuthaze kakhulu i-agency ukuba izikhokelo zendawo kunye nolwazi oluhle lwendawo. Xa ekugqibeleni sagqiba ehambo lwethu ukuya e-Xinjiang ebusika ngo-2015, ndacima ikhadi. Njengoko sasilungiselela, ndandifunda i-e-book yakwa- Josh Summers ye- Xinjiang: Isikhokelo sohambo lwabangasese e-West West kunye nokucebisa i-Old Road Tours.
Ngoko andizange ndijonge ngakumbi xa saqala ukulungisa ukuhamba kwethu kwi-Xinjiang.
I-Arhente yeNdwendwe
Igosa ngokwayo liqhutywa nguMnu Abdul Wahab kunye nabazalwana bakhe eKashgar. Bonke bafunde kakhulu kwaye baxhomekeke kwiilwimi ezininzi kuquka isiNgesi, isiFrentshi, isiJamani, isiRashiya, isiMandarin nesi-Uyghur. Bazinikezele ekufundiseni iindwendwe malunga nobuhle beenkcubeko zase-Uyghur kwaye ngoko unokuqinisekisa ukuba "ungokoqobo" amava xa usebenzisa i-arhente.
Savuya ukudibana noMnu Wahab kunye nosapho lwakhe. Ndithembele ukuba abantwana bam banokusebenzisana nabantwana base-Uyghur ngokutyelela isikolo okanye okufanayo kodwa sasidlula iholide yesikolo. Kodwa ukwazi ukuthanda kwam abantwana bethu ukuba namava athile, uMnu. Wahab wasibizela sonke ekhaya lakhe kwisidlo saseMigeria. Oku kwakubaluleke kakhulu kuthi. Izingane zethu zadlala ngokwenene kunye kwaye sasizixhamla kunye noMnu Wahab, umfazi wakhe kunye nosapho olude kunye nokufunda ngakumbi ngokuhlala eKashgar.
Ukugqiba uhambo
Ngokuqhelekileyo xa uqesha i-ejenti yokuhamba e-China, uxoxa ngeeveki (ubuncinane, ukuba kungekhona iinyanga) uhambo lwakho kwaye emva kokufumana izinto, uthayine isivumelwano kwaye wenze idiphozithi. Le yinto ye-Old Road Tours.
Saqalisa iingxoxo malunga nohambo lwethu ngoMeyi ngohambo lwethu ngo-Oktobha 2015.
Kwakuninzi emva nangemva. Ngoxa sasinemihla yokubethelelwa phantsi, sasingaqinisekanga ukuba siza kuphi na ukuphelisa uhambo lwethu okanye apho sihlala khona. Saphetha ukusika isigaba sonke sohambo (sasifuna ukuya eHotan eSouth Xinjiang) xa sasiqonda kakuhle ukuhamba kwaye saphelela ngeKashgar kunye neKarakoram Highway kwindawo yokuqala yohambo kwaye emva koko u-Urumqi noTurpan inxalenye yesibini yohambo.
Kwakunzima ukwenza isigqibo sokunqunyula icandelo lonke kodwa sasihamba nabantwana kunye nemida emide, sinqume ukuba kungcono ukugxila kwiindawo ezimbini kunokuchitha inkunkuma yonke imihla ukutsho ukuba siye kwenye indawo . (Ndiya kufuna uhambo lwesibini!)
Ukubhuka
Ngokubanzi, unokushiya yonke into kwiqela le-Abdul kwaye baya kwenza iingcebiso kwaye unokulandela. Okanye, ukuba unjengam, ndenza uphando lwami kusengaphambili kwaye ndandifuna nje ukuba ndibancede ukuba ndibone indlela yokubona into endiluhlu lwam kunye nendlela engcono yokuyibeka ndawonye. Ndandisele ndiphanda ihotele, ngokunjalo, nangona ndifuna ukuva iingcebiso zabo. Ngoko ngokubhuka, unokuba njengezandla okanye izandla njengoko ukhululekile.
Emva kokugqiba uhambo, iqela lika-Abdul lenze iziphakamiso zehotele.
Ngaloo ndlela, sasinemigangatho yamagumbi (bacebisa amagumbi amabini ngeentsapho kodwa sagqiba isigqibo, njengoko abantwana bethu bancinci, ukuba igumbi elinye kwintsapho nganye kunye nemibhede eyongezelelweyo iya kulungile). Iingcebiso zabo zepropati ze-hotele ngokubanzi zihambelana nophando lwam ukuze senze ukuba babhale ihotele, becinga ukuba baya kufumana izinga elihle njengenkampani yokuhamba.
Intlawulo
Emva kokuba zonke iincwadi zenziwe kwaye ziyavunyelwana, senze idiphozithi ye-50%. Le ndlela iyamkeleka ngokuqhelekileyo (ezinye iimbosa zidinga ukuhlawula, ezinye zifuna ukuhlawula ngokupheleleyo). Intlawulo yokugqibela ifuneka ngenxa yokufika kwethu.
Ndenze iphutha lokucwangcisa ukuhlawula imali yokugqibela ngenkokhelo ekufikeni ukwenzela ukuba ugweme i-1% yemali ekuthengisweni kwekhadi kodwa oku kwakuyimpazamo. Ukufumana imali eyaneleyo kuma-ATM eKashgar kwakungelula. Ndicebisa ukuhlawula ngotshintsho lwebhanki ngaphambi kohambo lwakho okanye ngekhadi ekufikeni.
Izikhokelo zeeNdlela ezidala
Sasinezikhokelo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo ngexesha lohambo lwethu. UAli, umthonyama waseKashgar, wadibana nathi eKashgar kwaye wayeyisikhokelo sethu kulo lonke uhambo lwethu kummandla. U-Ahmed, waseUrumqi, wayeyisikhokelo sethu se-Urumqi neTurpan.
Xa kunokwenzeka, ndizama ukusebenzisa ama-agent asekuhlaleni apho ndihamba khona kuba banikezela ubuchule bendawo. Ii-arhente ezinkulu ezisekelwe kwiidolophu ezinkulu ezinikezela iihotele kulo lonke elaseChina zinokuba luhle kakhulu, ewe, kwaye ndisebenzise ezininzi, kodwa azinako ukuzinikezela okufanayo ukuba i-arhente yasekuhlaleni inayo. Into endiyithandayo kakhulu ngee-Old Road Tours izikhokelo yindlela esivakalelwa ngayo ukuba bayasinceda. Umsebenzi wabo, kunjalo, ukusikhokela ngokusekelwe kwindlela yokuhamba. Kodwa kwakukho iziganeko ezininzi apho iimeko zasikhokelela ukuba sicele utshintsho kwindlela kunye noAli no-Ahmed bebengayithobeli kuphela le mitshintsho, bawacebisa ngamanye amaxesha, ukwenza ityelelo lethu livuyiswe ngakumbi.
Bobabini izikhokelo zi-Uyghur kwaye samkela imibuzo yethu kunye nomdla malunga nenkcubeko yabo. Sasiziva ukuba benza konke okusemandleni ukusibonisa iimpawu eziqingqiweyo kwimimandla yazo ngokulandelanayo. Njengomzekelo wezinto ezingenakulinganiswa ezingenziwanga ukukhunjulwa, kwindlela eya kwi-museum yaseTurpan, u-Ahmed wasibizela ngaphesheya kwesitrato apho umthengisi wayesebenza amatsha ehlambulukileyo. Ukupheka ngaphakathi kwe-oven enkulu efana ne-tandoor, ama-dumplings ayeza kulungela kwaye isihlwele esikhulu sasihlangene.
UAhmed watshela ukuba umpheki wayengumhlobo omdala kwaye wakwazi ukufumana ezimbalwa zamathambo ukuze sizame. Sonke sasinqikaza besithi sonke singabelana ngambalwa phakathi kwethu. Kodwa emva kokutshisa abambalwa, u-Ahmed wayenomngcipheko mngcipheko wengqungquthela yokulindela ukusifumana ngakumbi. Ukuma ilanga lasekuseni elisentsimini kwisitya sezitrato ukutya ukutya okumnandi kwamanzi kunye nesihlwele sendawo mhlawumbi sisinye sezizinto esiza kuzikhumbula ngokubanzi ngeTurpan. Kwaye kwakungeke kwenzeke ukuba u-Ahmed akazange anqume ukulibazisa ukungena kumyuziyam.
Iindwendwe zeNdlu ezidala - Ixabiso
Andizange ndenze uhlobo oluninzi lokuthengisa kunye nale nkonzo. Ngenxa yokuba beza kakhulu banconywa kwaye badibana nomgangatho wam we-arhente yendawo, saziva sikhululekile ukuyisebenzisa. Ndaqhathanisa iintengo zabo ezicatshulwayo kwezinye iindwendwe ezifanayo ndizenzileyo kwaye ndazifumana zihambelana.
Nangona kuqhelekile kwi-shishini lokuhamba kubabhali ukuba banikwe iinkonzo zamahhala, oku kuhlaziywa kusekelwe kumava ombhali ngaphandle kokusaphulelo, ngeendleko zakhe.
