A couple of tourists came by and we chatted a bit (which meant I could speak in english for once). Here, I met Ming, a chinese cyclist that I had met in the ferry and we agreed to meet up. We were the only people in the campsite (as usually for me haha). He got a flat tire and arrived rather late, we shared some dinner and some interesting conversation about the relationship between china and japan, and we prepared for another day through the mountains.Read more
