Actually, Korla does have a library, although I never had a chance to go in and see if it was filled with “books”. It’s next to the Loulan Hotel, and used to be a Bazhou Museum… which mysteriously disappeared one day a few years ago.

Anyway, the person who wrote this must be from Korla, or otherwise is some sort of long-term Korla resident.

I’m new to this page and reading the transalted articles, they are very interesting.
I guess that Uyghur language had used before ə (Ə example to say “mən wə sən”) instead ä. And it may looks nice if still keep use Ə.
Anyway, all you done is great job.

So it came and went. I spent the first part of the night in a Wang Ba hoping to be in a good place in the morning to watch the torch go by, then the Wang Ba was closed at about 2 and there were so many police and army patroling the streets that I knew there was no chance of being near when the actual event went down. It was sad but I watched from a window of my hotel and got just a small glimpse. Even the other Chinese in the hotel couldn’t go out. What an odd way to treat such a public event.
