You can read my current Travel Notes as well as previous Travel notes From Mexico, South-East Asia and India-Tibet at Russian/American outing club "poxod" in English at: http://www.poxod.com/hotline/bike.htm Or at Brompton bike distributor site Bromptonbike.com at: www.bromptonbike.com/CurrentEvents/Story/SilkRoad.html and www.bromptonbike.com/CurrentEvents/Story/Tibet.html

City also remained me New York a little bit, but it was built later and the shape of skyscrapers is more modern and lighting of the city at night is just astonishing. I felt in love with this city.
