I wasn't going to whine about the roads anymore, but I can't help myself. We spent nine hours driving today to spend about two hours talking to people. Six of the nine hours were on roads that required four-wheel drive. I suppose it was worth it to see Dianke Mankan, one of the destinations. It wasn't that exciting to see, but the sheer remoteness of it is remarkable, three hours from the nearest paved road. And not such a small town either: about 10,000 people.
The day was pretty grueling, but it could have been a lot worse: We could have been among the many people we passed, making the journey by motorcycle, bicycle, or on foot. So maybe a 4x4 with weak air conditioning isn't so bad after all.
