TIME FOR REFLECTION
A time for reflection...being in an exotic locale for a Royal funeral...where royalty is very dear. Thank you for sharing the event with us.

WORTH THE WAIT
Beautiful blog Johan...breathtaking pics...the tectonic forces etched in the panorama...Ladakh...still top of my wish list...next blog soon please.

Leh
it's a place I've longed to spend time - I'm envious - It looks and feels just as I imagined. i saw sleepy dogs like yours when i was in gyanste - their coats were real hound fur. beautiful.

ROCK ON ROCK...LADAKH
Ladakh is one of our dream destinations...but due to the narrow time of year for access, we keep putting it off. Thank you for reviving our interest.

beautiful
One of the best-written blogs I've read on TB. How you managed to get so much wordage out of a plane flight leaves me in awe!

terrific humour
I had to cry from laughter, sensational power in using english

Another window blind rebel
I really love your description of life on a long flight. I can completely relate to your need to open the blind, too. It drives me completely crazy when there is a wonderful starry sky or, even worse, a gorgeous sunrise or bright daylight over scenery or clouds and I have to sit in a claustrophobic, stuffy cave in dim light. The false "nights" they use to subdue the "inmates" are far too long, boring and a waste of the time I could be enjoying the experience of flying over our wonderful world. If I don't have a window seat, I go to the back of the plane, where there is usually a window over the emergency chute, and sneak a peak for as long as I can get away with it. The other thing I hate is when people have been lucky enough to get a window seat and then spend the whole flight with the blind down, even when they are allowed to have it up! Then no-one else can look out. Very selfish, I reckon. You have taken some great shots of exactly the kind of things I love to look out for. They were a joy to look at. Thanks for sharing them.

Wonderful Writing!
Such an enjoyable read, so well written. I really like your desciptions of onboard plane life...I can identify with everything so readily!

Your chance picture
Hi, I was researching some Kyushu basho stuff because I want to go this year. Been everywhere else so might as well try. I came across your blog & how exciting to see your "chance picture" is with two of my best friends. They are from Onomatsu beya. On the right Kurosawa & left Keno. It is a small world afterall!! I enjoyed your pics too & I may stop by Shigenoumi's chanko place while I'm there.... but I'm usually exhausted after 8-6 of sumo every day for 15 days!!! Take care,Viki

Reliving my memories
I lived in Mongar from October 1990 to May 1992, teaching in what was then Mongar Primary School. Recently I was telling someone about the Yadi loops and gave a google search and came across your site. Nice pictures. Shocking changes in the town. Wonder what my little school and my house in front looks like.
