Xinjiang is an incredibly beautiful place but also a little tense. When I had some troubles in Sichuan getting a license, I asked to talk with the dude in charge and had him write down the exact steps I needed to get my license.

I had to come back three times and each time I always had "something missing" which was total . It's like they were pulling excuses out of their .

Anyway, after getting a dude to write it down I had something to wave around in people's faces. That mixed with some jumping up and down finally allowed me to get my SECOND license. I actually had one before but it expired and they insisted I had to go through the whole process all over again. Fun yeah?
