to get to the villages the drivers must risk their lives on a dangerous road. located in the heart of central asia. is kurdistan second largest city. after nightfall to drivers stock up on supplies. they bought expensive chinese mandarins from a local trader and hope to sell them for a small profit in neighboring town. the truck is loaded with cases full of the fruit. of. the drivers wrap the mandarins in a blanket to protect them from the cold. they chop off their load with a few sheets of plywood to. the loading completed they head off into the night.

so it was really you should you sure are you sure. it is the driver and mechanic who won the senior of the two companies and. they pray for a safe journey ahead word though nice albert shake up. we share that a lot of us their leisure. was approaching worked up over. the sheriff and the. outside it's minus twenty degrees and not much warmer inside whether he. it's not working. well when they're in the flood stuff so my fault tended. to fall and i'm not telling i'm up cause i don't plan to let fly off . pop up john hill doggoned up. hold up.

a daybreak uncool one arrived in a small town. oh you got it they're good good put them all. there. and. back on the road again the weather takes a turn for the worse. icy conditions have stopped the heavy of vehicles in that truck. pull yourself. up. like.

that. how did you know all talk. and all. in a blizzard three thousand six hundred meters vehicles with lighter load stand a better a child's. death. hole from follow up. at minus thirty degrees the

road is an ice rink the truckers must cope as best they can. get screened. the. show goes up in his little truck takes a chance and manages to push through. further on they stopped to help a driver whose vehicle has broken down you'll. see. just one of them in charge

should move over move over one program put roof over. gets good if you look at this it was on the floor for. all the reasons just. isn't there those are those of impossible followed by. what was a call up of color that gives degrees of all that i could get today but. the indestructible soviet four wheel drive saves the day. the temperature drops still further at night and their guest is worried. that's the thing john the boss of the. boss of barclays think they're going to put up a. listen. what's up told. them

because marco didn't have to put in a plug his guitar that could profit almost gives that him a little more skin still a month long it's got to love. a breakdown in these conditions could mean the death . without heating the interior windscreen is soon covered with ice and do show combat see the road which is edged by a precipice. the temperature is now minus thirty seven degrees. c. . desperate measures are called for and an old blowtorch serves as a de icing device on almost. if. he. does

what are your. thapar off the. fire against ice. within a few kilometers the ice is back. freezing and tired the three finally seek shelter. of a family. that they're. going to cook but. there's a period one not on to do that. at a loss do shot has little choice but to move all.

her ear. skirt. the abyss and with the frequent use of the blowtorch the men finally reach an isolated farmhouse. and. the welcome is glacial. inside it's about ten degrees.

next morning cohen makes do with a little cold water. do show runs the blowtorch over the truck's frigid underbelly. but the engine is too cold to stocked. up on clothes. i think all. the radiation needs refilling. the water was removed the night before to stop it from freezing.

through the will of those. hollows there's a lot of those with those issues as you must know. if you. pitch your thumb up. or her. the old truck rattles off towards the kizil octopi. altitude four thousand two hundred eighty feet.

all john told was all the possible oh yeah sure they did this but the older kids. in the ravine below lie the remains of a truck that attempted the same crossing. one and two shot into the wind swept me a mountain. all a. lot. of manage to live. with. except me. was a little the. big fellow said the first thing.

he could. just jump jump jump. jump jump. but then. you. just. let the mother heads. i just tried to dinner. because if i could get it does get child why didn't i just go the first market oh well there was a finish that. at this altitude with limited oxygen the motor can't function but the men are pretty head after the last

began to go bust ok with. him. as not j.c.s. and slower discrete. but sure isn't. doesn't i just. know. the school. after me. and i. shouldn't. be joining.

the carburetor is changed the tactic worked. that. was. the door is stuck. the men don't want to risk stalling so cool one continued on foot. with. the.

existing. joining going to. do them. all the. way well there must. now ok. after an hour they've reached their objective the kizil are to pass one of only two crossing points between kyrgyzstan and tragic histone. most drivers would avoid risking this passage. as i hear you got. a mother who took care of us to. be strong enough but they're out of. luck because i can't walk left alone. a lot i mostly saw clock.

it's minus thirty degrees and the customs offices are too cold to leave their offices. finally make it to gigi stop. at this point their lives are at the mercy of the trucks old breaks. or miss on the. watch metropolis get to the boarding was up just to go the. boy do it weird to simply sit here not just on the plane that's just the look to another woman pilot warming. fish. but.

after two days cohen. finally make it to the desert that leads to motive. the city. in tajikistan lenin still holds a place of honor earnings in this former soviet republic average less than seventy five u.s. dollars a month. from . home. and i would love the.

old series did you. enjoy the hell out of all the for you no fun but enough to shoot you sure. as all the online. edition up front i did get this. traditionally comma cinco gets done as a family affair each member has a part to play cohen's mother will sell the mandarins. package zero dollars apiece. might impact that we're going to stop the.

construction materials are too expensive so trade is set up shop in contains. the mandarins have finally made it but we've meager earnings people are in no rush to buy. in truffle oil so what that. can do they want their. land. just feel good and the time that i have this challenge is. our home our entire. culture. in. twenty five years or to remember that a book commune. or natural of his mom like you can download a substitute. to the fifty fifty people.
