It's quite close to here, but it requires a special permit. I figure maybe I can save that for another time and perhaps combine it with Nepal.<br /><br />Terry, glad you're enjoying it. It makes my trip more fun when I share it with friends.Markohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925308436067950982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109784285766388854.post-12556284796398915262010-04-05T08:33:31.938-07:002010-04-05T08:33:31.938-07:00I am so glad you were able to buy a new cable Mark...I am so glad you were able to buy a new cable Marko as I am really enjoying your blog.

Well don...Hi Marko, the experienced world traveler!<br />Well done, that you managed finally not missing the flight to Chengdu in the last minute, but no problem losing your cable for your laptop.<br />I wonder if you plan going to the Tibet. If yes, do not forget having a look to the Kunlunshan mountain range from the far distance. It is a mountain system of western China extending from the Karakoram Range eastward along the northern edge of the plateau of Tibet. Its highest point is 7729 m. Read some phrases about the Kunlun:<br />Far above the earth, into the blue,<br />You, wild Kunlun, have seen<br />All that was fairest in the world of men.<br />Your three million white jade dragons in fight<br />Freeze the sky with piercing cold.<br />In summer days your melting torrents<br />Flood the streams and rivers,<br />Turning men into fish and turtles.<br />Who has passed judgement on the good and ill<br />You have wrought these thousand autumns?<br />To Kunlun now I say,<br />Neither all your height,<br />Nor all your snow is needed.<br />Could I but draw my sword o'ertopping heaven,<br />I'd cleave you in three:<br />One piece for Europe,<br />One for America,<br />One to keep in the East.<br />Peace would then reign over the world,<br />The same warmth and cold throughout the globe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774928378040888540noreply@blogger.com
