am fond of m y sister but she has one seri ous short i ng. She can be real y stubborn. Al though she di dn39。 t know the best way of getti ng to pl aces, she i nsi sted that she ani ze the tri p properl y. N ow, I know that the proper way is al ways her way. I kept aski ng her, When are we l eavi ng and when are we i ng back? I asked her whether she had l oked at a m ap yet. O f course, she hadn39。 t。 m y si ster doesn39。 t care about detail s. So I tol d her that the source of the Mekong i s i n Qi nghai Province. She gave m e a determ i ned l ook—the ki nd that sai d she woul d not change her mi nd. When I tol d her that our journey woul d begin at an al ti tude of m ore than 5, 000 metres, she seem ed to be exci ted about i t. When I tol d her the air woul d be hard to breathe and i t woul d be very col d, she sai d i t woul d be an i nteresting experi ence. I know m y si ster wel . O nce she has m ade up her m i nd, nothi ng can change i t. Fi nal l y, I had to gi ve i n. Several months before our tri p,Wang Wei and I went to the l i brary. We found a l arge atl as with god m aps that showed detai l s of worl d geography. From the atl as we coul d see that the Mekong River begi ns i n a glaci er on a Ti betan m ountai n. At fi rst the ri ver i s smal and the water is cl ear and col d. Then i t begi ns to m ove quickl y. It be es rapi ds as i t pases through deep val l eys, travel li ng across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river bees a waterfal and enters wi de val eys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river i s in China. After it leaves China and the high al titude,the Mekong be es wi de， brown and warm . As it enters Southeast Asia, i ts pace slows. It makes wi de bends or m eanders through low val eys to the plai ns where rice grows. At l ast, the ri ver delta enters the South Chi na Sea. PART2 A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS Al though it was autumn, the snow was al ready begi nning to fal l in Ti legs were so heavy and col d that they felt li ke blocks of you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles?That’s what we looked l ike! Al ong the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternon we found i t was so col d that our water bottl es froze. .However,the lakes shonel ike glass in the seti ng sun and l ooked wonderful. Wangwei rode i n front of me as usual. She i s very reliabl e and I knew I didn’t need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we l ooked around us, we were surpri sed by the vi ew. We sem ed to be abl e to see for mi l es. At one poi nt we were so hi gh that we found oursel ves cycl ing through cl ouds. Then we began goi ng down the hi l s. It was great fun especi al l y as i t gradual y becam e m uch warm er. In the val l eys col ourful butterfli es fl ew around us and we saw m any yaks and sheep eating green grass. At thi s poi nt we had to change our caps, coats, gl oves and trousers for Tshi rts and shorts. In the earl y eveni ng we al ways stop to m ake cam put up our tent and then we eat. After super Wang Wei put her head down on her pi l ow and went to sl ep but I stayed awake. At m i dni ght the sky becam e cl earer and the stars grew bri ghter. It was so qui et. There was al m ost no wind—onl y the fl am es of our fire for pany. As I lay beneath the stars I thought about how far we had al ready travel l ed. We wil l reach Dali i n Yunnan Provi nce soon, where our cousi ns Dao Wei and Yu H ang wil l joi n us. We can hardl y wai t to see them! PART 6 TH E END OF OUR JOUNEY Cam bodi a was i n m any ways simi l ar to Laos, al though i t has twi ce the popul ati on. At another inn, we tal ked wi th a teacher who tol d us that hal f of the peopl e i n her country coul dn’t read or write. H er vil age coul dn’t even aford to buil d a school , so she had to teach outside under a l arge tent. When we sai d goodbye, we al l fel t very l ucky to have studi ed i n col ege. Back on the road, we passed between m any hi l s and forests. Then we cam e to the pl ai ns and entered Phnom Penh, the capi tal of Cam bodi a. In m any ways i t l oked l i ke Vi entiane and H o Chi Mi nh Ci ty。 i t al so had wi de streets wi th trees i n rows and ol d French houses. Unl i ke Vi enti ane, shi ps coul d travel the Mekong Ri ver here. In the center of the ci ty we vi si ted the pal ace and a beauti ful white el ephant. It can onl y be seen outsi de the pal ace on speci al days. We ate an earl y supper and went to see a great tem pl e wi th fl ors m ade of sli ver. The next m orni ng our group sl ept l ate. We were very ti red from the l ong bi ke ri de the day before. Cycli ng i n the hil l s had been di ffcuil ow our couins had the chance to m ake jokes about Wangwei and m e. Perhaps, they sai d, they were the strong ones!We had l unch at a nice outdoor cafe, then rode out of the ci ty. Two days l ater we crosed the border into Vietnam. We began to see many more peopl e,but I wasn’t surprised . I read in an atlas before our tri p that Vietnam has alm ost seven tim es the popul ati on of Cam bodi a. We m et a farm er who gave us di recti ons and tol d us that he grows a new ri ce crop four ti m es every year so he can feed m ore peopl e. He al so tol d us that the northern part of hi s country has m any m ountai ns and it i s m uch cool er than here i n the south, where it i s fl at. Although the fl at del ta m ade i t easi er for us to cycl e. we got warm very quickl y. So we drank l ots of water and ate l ots of bananas. Soon the del ta separated i nto ni ne sm al l er ri vers. Two days l ater, after we had passed thousands of ri ce fi el ds, we cam e to the sea. We were ti red but also i n hi gh spiri ts: our dream to cycl e al ong the Mekong Ri ver had fi nal y e true. Uni t 4 A NIGHT THE EARTH DID’T SLEEP Strange thi ngs were happeni ng i n the countri si de of northest H eBei. For there days the water i n the vi l age wel s rose and fel。
