I'm done with the hitchhiking. Actually, I already was like a couple days ago. But now I'm headed to another place. Hope to share the snippets of my experiences and the nuggets of wisdom I got from it.
Quick summary.
My personal interpretation of hitchhiking: it's a broke student type trip that the rich can't afford. Every day, I wrote reflections whenever I made time. They are rough drafts. So I'll organize them and pack into the posts. This is why i love blogging. I engrave my moments in the digital space for life. We stayed at the mosque for a night in Karakol. We almost fell off the edge of the mountains several times. We averaged 18-19 kms of walking daily. We had to and in fact, did persuade people to give us free lifts. We learned about the culture even though it seems like we are already very similar. There are plenty of nuances.
