yaron and hagit's Guestbook

My spontaneous reaction to lake Karakul
"Pi Kus-Emek!" (sorry for the profanity, but it looks like one of the wildest, most beautiful places I've ever heard of. Even compared with the much "nicer" Tian Chi.)

Flora and Fauna
Yaron, technically speaking, your wife is not a flower (and I think you know her father is not a gardener). I could add to this line of verbal games, but this is, after all, a public space. I like the appendix more than the main entry (or at least as much). This is web-writing- concise, to the point, adding next to nothing over the main point, except for a light personal touch. Douz-point. Some of the flowers look really great in the pictures ( and I'm sure they were even better in real life). I liked the Irus-looking one best. As for the main blog- it's good to see you're not wasting time even though you have all the time in the world. Festivals are always a good choice. And celebrating on the road (be it BD, anniversaries, or just plain-old holidays from home) is always an experience to remember. I, personally would like to hear more about travelling with Chinese tourists. Don't know if you'll be up to it again, but it sounds like a weird way to mix local atmosphere with touristy atmosphere. Keep on enjoying yourselves, LK. PS thanks for the Mazal-Tov, and the same to Hagit for being 27 again. PPS It would take some time before I catch up on everything, for obvious reasons... I didn't expect to get to respond that quickly. PPS why comment on this instead of the main blog entry? To be the first, of course! What were you thinking?!?

Happy birthday.
Happy birthday - Hagit. It seems like u have the best Honeymoon/Birthday ever known to men! Keep on like that. Dash to Yaron.

Toyuk
I see you found it even though it wasn't in my blog ;) Keep on exploring! We are all jealous here. It's been almost exactly a year since I visited this exact same place!!! How time passes... R.

total weight
...It appears that Yaron is keeping his total weight balanced, that is, man and bag together...

Invisible cities
I've never seen Lijiang like this. Not that I've seen it with my own eyes (http://www.ynet.co.il/home/0,7340,L-3963,00.html) but it's the same second hand (with a different first hand). Reminded me of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. One of those cities that is different for every visitor. Not only looks different, it _is_ different. If you haven't read the book- get it. It's as excellent a read as any for travelling in China.

Who's the director?
Hagit's picture in the HK skyline looks like it's taken from a Vim Venders movie (have you seen "Until the End of the World"?). As a purist I should remind you that eating McDonald's in the third world is blasphemy. The only possible excuse is free surfing, if they give it there ;-)

Have a great trip!
With such an entry while still here in the holy land I just can't wait to reat the rest. But where are the pictures of NATBAG 2000? :) Have a great time there, even though the Chinese can be hard! I really feel like traveling again knowing that you are starting your own journey to so many familiar places... Well, I'd better stop now. Take care, R.
