On the way to Ghemur today the roads were clogged with civilian trucks with paper in the windshields saying "Army Duty." There were also numerous buses carrying men in uniform. The previous day, on the way to Baralachala pass we passed a small army base. On the way back from the pass we saw 15-20 army cargo trucks all leave at once. This was the largest troop/supply movement that I have ever seen. I asked Hem where they were going and he said the Chinese border, but did not elaborate. I have had no news so I don't know if this is precautionary or reactionary, either way it is a little scary.

Gemur Clinic
We all thought the clinic today was going to be in Jispa, but as usual, things change with little to no explanation or warning. The clinic was in a nice hospital, similar to the one in Tingriti, however this actually had a staff. One full time doctor, one doctor on rotation, one dentist, and several nurses. I was stationed in Ophtho today and spent most of the morning recording data for Anna's research project. The clinic was so slow though that we called it quits at lunch and went to a school in Jispa to do well child check ups.
