Gambling in Tibet The Chinese government should just let the Tibetans open up a bunch of casinos and resorts. After all, that seems to have worked for the aboriginal populations of the US.
yes, that's it! I went that route this spring there. Tiger-leap, the Tina's, the half-way, Meili Moutain, Lijiang, and the Shangrila.
Plan to go for 2nd time.
That's the sacred place not only for tibetans, but also for our hiking-ers.
Enjoy your pictures.
from thailand jolly good massage Hey, Thanks for mentioning me in your review, but you do not have any pictures of my massage shop.

Pot, meet kettle. "The only thing worse in my books are the rich (corrupt!) Han Chinese package tourists walking around Lhasa taking stupid photos in front of buildings their forefathers were trying to destroy just 30 years ago!" A perfect example of the white man's smug sense of superiority.
Because, hosnestly, the last thing this world needs are a bunch of chinks running around, destroying the world's cultures. Oh, wait...I believe someone else beat them to that! Un-fucking-believable.
hypocricy Really sick of those english speaking people's hypocricy. You just speak as if the english speaking people are the native people in North America, Austrial and New Zealand. If you just compare the culture reservation for the native people in thise countries with Tibet in China, you know what culture genocide really means.
Monkey Magic Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every trick under the sun
To tease the gods and everyone
And have some fun.

...and the Blues take the lead! Hey Waz! Don't listen to Weiny...he only thinks I'm one eyed about refs because he let a bloke nearly take my eye out in the only game he's reffed with me in it. I'm sure by now, you're up to date with the latest in the Origin saga. I won't rub it in too much...the headlines in Sydney read 'Caned Toads' and 'Blue Murder!'. Appropriate as the banana benders didn't show up for the game at all. Anyhow, hope you're fit and well and still drinking the local brew, no matter how much it tastes like yak's piss! HEAGS...
Blues Wazza, don't worry about Heagney, loves the ref today will hate him tomorrow... Great pics and sounds as if your on fire over there. Suggest you have a go at driving around those mountains. Spoke to tim and no need to worry they have your old job open waiting for your return... bet you can't wait. Keep having fun and completing these journals.
Steve Clark is a god...!!!!! He had a great game mate...same can't be said for those cane toads! Offside tries (Brad Thorne) and all, Clark had a good game...and what would Origin be without a decider! Bring on sun crap stadium! Ha ha!! Keep safe and keep the logs coming! And for those interested (Lee especially), of course the coppers were involved in the drinking games (Waz and I started it!) Heags...
No comments??!!!! Thought I'd write something cause no-one else seems to have!! Were the police part of the drinking games?????!!!!!
News update: I've taken up the drums. Yes, don't laugh like everyone else has been! Have a hot date on Tuesday nights with a 22y.o drummer called Will. I've decided it is a lot harder than it looks but is fun having a go. Practise, practise practise for me over the coming months. might be ready to stand in for Stu when you get back!!!!!
Amie had her girl operation today so she will be very subdued and not talking to us this pm when I pick her up.
Not much else happening at E.K.
Take care and stay safe,
Love
Lee

Hi from Mum Sounds so fascinating! Didn't like the bit about snake wine and 500m staggers, hope you had company! Do take care Warren.
Eddie was chuffed that you taught your guide about splashing boots!! - Valerie
Wazza who? I can't believe you paid for an airline ticket just so you could sit in internet cafes all around the world and write to us. You could have done that in Newtown. Or in Marrickville, if you wanted the taste of Asia.
At least you don't get the footy scores reminding you how the broncos lost at home to the warriors.
Looking forward to the next installment. - Long
Compulsory Got lucky yet, or are you just going to keep whingeing on about Poms ? Have a great Easter and have a lot of fun. The things that I kept noticing when overseas in a new place was how funny some of the differences were of how things are done by other people which are totally different to how we are used to them. Sometimes better, but usually bafflingly ridiculous ( but then these were former communist countries). Haven't seen a recommendation of the local ales and obviously looking forward to hearing of the first travelling enocounter in all its glory (copious amounts of alcohol being a good excuse for any impairment of judgement at the time). - Will Carling
what's in a name? Hi Warren!
How fantastic to read about your travels - I will definitely be checking in often. Funny you should mention the popular name game in Thailand. We found that in Vietnam also. In fact, in HCMC there were 2 restaurants beside each other by the same name - the first 'Bodhi Tree' was so popular, a competitor opened up a restaurant next door with the same name (but not nearly as good). If you get the chance, check it out when you're there - it's in the Pham Ngu Lau district (where most of the cheap backpacker hotels are).
What's in a name?
That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Therefore my Romeo would,
Were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title... - Julia
Great Photos! Hi Warren!
Great to read about your adventures so far. The photos are amazing. What a beautiful part of the world you have seen so far. Keep those photos and journals coming bro!
