I eman yeah, but I would really like to be able to say yes when libs are like "uhhhh, have you ackshually been there? then listen to this reporter who hasn't been there either." I would have first person knowledge and memories, so they would have to call me a bot instead.

Wonder how many people here actually plan on going to XJ? I would if I wasn't so gosh darn poor.
I would if I spoke a word of mandarin. Or had the time/money to do so. Or people to go with.
I think you can hire local guides who speak 3 languages like Daniel Dumbrill did in his videos on XJ.
Awesome. Just gotta figure out the other issues.
I want to learn mandarin so bad but I think the time in my life where that was actually something possible has passed :(
I've been doing Duo Lingo on and off for years, but I really need someone to practice with.
If nothing else, time in Xianjiang would give me a ton of practice.

I theoretically would, if I had the money, a medium-sized group I could trust going with, and the time to do it.
I'd go a lot of places if I had those things. Xinjiang would be an interesting one though.
