Yes, I was thinking about the Theroux book. Until I lived in China, I thought that trip would be cool. 
Could never have convinced my wife to do it after her woman's trip to the Silk Road where she stayed in a "Four Star" hotel that had an open channel in the floor for sink water to drain from room to room. That was in Kashgar on the very western border.
My apologies to Dave for the slight diversion!
