The eastern Journey

The reason that this blog comes so late is because this is one of the easternmost cybercafes in the country. Which makes it my first access to the net in more than a week. What all did happen in this week? We went to see Walong the easternmost point we could reach. It seems our passes were incorrect and the central government stopped us from going ahead. The journey had to end at the hot springs near Walong (google map it). Walong is really beautiful. It took us three days to reach there. On the way we stopped at Hayliung ('the place of my liqour' in the local Mishmi language) and Hawai the new District Headquarters of the Anjaw district. It was very tiring and we had some good stays in Government Inspection Bunglows. By the way Anuj got pissed on by a pig. We were travelling by a Sumo (jeep) from Tezu to Hawai. There was a live pig trussed up and tied to the roof of the car, after a few minutes of the crazy mountain roads it decided to relieve itself while the car was going at around 60km/h, the result was that the piss streamed into the car through the open window and splashed on Anuj and a lady who was sitting beside the window. In some way it was revenge for all the salami and bacon we had enjoyed over the years. The river lohit is very strong even in this dry season and the sound of flowing by was a constant companion on this trip.
