@mersaylee - you don't say ok..

in our transit at PVG, the girls wanted Macs! I was rolling my eyes... but they insisted it tasted better, haha

However their service is good, but you gotta use the wepay or local payment apps...

A very early start and a short flight later, we land in Dun Huang the city closest to the Mo Gao Grottoes...

Still a few EVs but far less than in LZ

High meat, low fat, tastes like beef... and you can't really tell

So after the ass meal, we went to see a couple of musicals.. that help give context to the history of Dun Huang and the treasures in the caves, especially since they were lost to foreigners - you literally have to go to the British Museum to see them

 

To be honest some parts of the first show were a bit creepy, I was told it's 'artistic' by my Chinese student.. I'm too plebeian haha 

Feels like Chinese Ghost Story..
