交规执行非常严格，你必须在特定时间范围内才能走完友谊公路上的某个路段。如果开得太快而提前抵达，那么会被重罚，也许会被吊销驾照。所以抵达交通检查哨之前，我们停车休息。这在友谊公路上是非常普遍的。

Time to introduce the family, my co-travellers for this trip, we are almost coming to the end of this great journey now

The more I look at this snow wall, more I get thrilled, this is the wall that has changed the history and geography of India from beginning, without this wall we would have surely invaded from North by Tibetans, Chinese and Mongolians and our history would look different and without this wall our climate would look closer to Siberian than tropical, thanks to this great wall for making what India is today:

越是看这堵雪墙，我就越激动。正是这堵“墙”从一开始改变了印度的历史和地理。要不是这堵“墙”，我们肯定会遭受藏人、中国人和蒙古人从北方的入侵，我们的历史将会改写；要不是这堵“墙”，我们的气候将更接近西伯利亚，而不是热带气候。多亏了这堵伟大的“墙”，铸就了今天的印度。

Ruins of some Tibetan fort those gave British a tough fight when they invaded Tibet from India (through Jelep la in Sikkim):
