Tibet Trip from my friend

I know I have to write about this before I forget again. I have a very poor time management lately!

Anyway, sometimes I am amazed how small the world can be. We met an old friend accidentally through the internet. He is a Dutch guy who used to work for our old company in Indonesia and then transfered to Beijing. Later he decided to marry a chinese lady and settled down here in Shanghai. We met through his blog and were invited to his company party.

He told us that he will fly north to Tibet for the labour day week and stay there for 3 weeks. He will bike from Lhasa to Kathmandu together with 3 other persons, among them is a cameraman who will document the trip. Yes, Lhasa to Kathmandu by bicycle! In total is 1200 km and altitude of more than 3500 m above sea level! Unbelievable! I am really excited to see how the trip goes! This is really an adrenalin adventure that I have to lift my hat for! As for me, let alone 1200 km biking at 3500 m, I am still not sure if I can do the Inca Trip in Peru and I do really want to see the Manchu Picchu!
