I love this pic.. Something compels me to keep coming back for another look at this wonderful shot. Brilliant stuff Dave! This guy really does look like he would be great to share a few jugs of Tibetan mead and a glass or two of yak milk with :)
HI BEATA & TOMEK Great to hear from you guys and glad you are checking out my China blogs...yours were very special. And did you meet Dr Ho...and if so, did he come to meet you?
Master of the portrait Once again you have provided superb photos of those you met along the way. Being nurses we love the Chinese medicine stories. Maybe we need to take the cure.
HI DAVE & MERRY JO Do I believe in Chinese Medicine...sure do. Do I believe in the power of Beijing Water...sure do. Other than curing my arm...Next blog will tell you why!
Smiling faces Clearly the people in these amazing photos have been touched by the Dancing Dave magic. You can see in their faces that they are responding to you, not just smiling for a photo, and I'm sure they have as great memories of you as you have of them. You open the door for the rest of us travelers--thanks.
Good to see LP got something right for once ;) I'll have to make my way up there and see if he has anything for my bunions! Then again, like you Dave, I'm not really that interested in finding out what else 'may' be wrong with me. However, it does sounds like the good ol' Beijing water is the cure for all ills....does it keep ex-wives away too???
THANKS NICK Dr Ho would be pleased to see you again Nick...diagnosis by donation...herbs to cure bunions...sure can...just soak in Beijing Water...and watch them disappear...in front of your eyes!
So much dust Love this photo. I'd likely think twice before bringing out my camera for this shot. But gee, this is a great shot. Speaks volumes of your trip! No need for words!
To Lilliram...So Much Dust Miles & miles of donkeys pulling carts to market...passing trucks spewing dust over them...no idea how they could breathe...had to risk a shot...voila!
Love Your Writing Style! We've been to Tibet on our way to India back in 2008. I've always wondered if it, too, had changed...
Keep writing your fascinating blogs!
VISIT MALI...NOT NOW Current Advice Level: "Do not travel"
We continue to advise Australians not to travel to any part of Mali because of political instability following a military coup, ongoing military operations against rebel groups in the north, the activities of armed groups, including terrorists and bandits, and the threat of kidnapping. Australians in Mali advised to leave by commercial means, if it is safe to do so. Same applies to Argentinians. When it settles down I can put you in touch with the best person if you wish.
CHINA! I've really enjoyed your China blogs Dave! You continue to write your amazing adventures in this wonderful land and I haven't been able to stop reading them. Since it was my first trip out of the country I'm quite partial to China. Not to mention the fact I'm 25% Chinese. Please keep them coming! They're truly never boring!
THANKS JOHNNY I am delighted to hear from you...and that you are enjoying my China blogs. Yep...never boring...more to come...watch this space. Travel is all about experience & perspective. It is an honour to share with like-minded people...the essence of Travelblog. Your blogs are inspiring...keep up the good work.
My wife Denise & I like to travel "on paths less travelled" that capture our imagination, inspire my photography & where we mix with locals & remain safe.
