Excellent Writing ! its interesting how 2 different people can express the same experience differently .
BTW - my friend Meir suggested - AFTER reading my blog entry- that we would have crossed the ice patch on 4….i wonder why we didn’t think of that :)
appologies Hi Mr. Sherpa.
My sincere apologies if I was misinterpreted. I'm aware of the fact that Sherpa is an ethnic group and feels great empathy to them and their kind nature. I will try and change the blog to better explain that.
All the best,
Ohad
Sherpa does not mean Porter "Sherpa Porter
The local people, named Sherpa, carry goods of up to 70kg from village to village"
Your description above and others regarding Sherpa are incorrect. Sherpa does not mean porter. Sherpa is an ethnic group name. Sherpa means people from east in Tibetan and Sherpa language. People often ask me if I were a porter everytime I tell them my name. This is because persons like yourself travelled in the Sherpa country yet you interpret that Sherpa means porter. Nepal is under developing country and does not have roads everywhere. The only way to get your things from one place to another is by carrying. Carrying a luggage or anything one needs does not make people porters.
However, people who need to work as a porter to make a living which is done by many different ethnic groups including the Sherpas who do not have regular cash income source sure work as porters seasonally. I hope this enlightens you little bit about Sherpa and porter. By the way you take nice pictures.
Mon Bla That's how the french call this mountain.
I always wondered why they never say the end of the words..
Nice adventure and cool pix.
Walking on the knife (mountain edge) looks amazing !
