Ford Explorer which has 125k miles on it. It had overheating problem for
years. Now that I want to get a new bike. So I replaced the radiator ($104
parts) and checked the thermostat in boiling water last weekend. Hopefully
this can take care of the overheating problem and I can keep driving this
truck for another 2-3 years. That would save me enough $$$ for a decent bike

China is a great country with abundant resource and vast territory.
It is not wrong for teaching a kid to learn and accept this because
the kid may feel pround each time when he or she read these.
Now we all know that average resource per person in China is the poorest

What is scarce and important resource for now and for future?

In India, I don't know what mountains you can climb with "guided tour", but
it makes huge difference in one "snow mountain" and another.
I guess for those less well known and relatively easy to access mountain,
the cost won't be too high, but again, the risk may be unpredictable as it
is less traveled.
Anyway, my guess is this winter, you at least can get a good glimpse of some
great mountains off season.

其实只走向了珠峰大本营，//blush
起了个大早，赶了个晚集。从9月拿到新版LP的Trekking in Nepal Himalaya开始，就
在琢磨着去尼泊尔。本来打算走EBC过3个垭口的大环，随着11月中下旬大雪封山，不太
可能了，就和人约了走安娜普尔娜大环。提前6天买的回国机票，10天买的北京往返加
德满都机票，提前36小时，对方发信说去不了... 紧急发信找向导，想着找到了就走
EBC，找不到就一个人去安娜普尔娜，到达前3个小时昆明转机时终于搞定一个向导，估
计再也没有更last minute的plan了，EBC，我来了，呵呵。
背景：
EBC是珠峰大本营(Everest Base Camp)的简称。商业化登山路线有两条，北线大本营在
我国定日县境内，坐车可达；南坡大本营在尼泊尔境内，只能徒步。另一方面，尼泊尔

条EBC线上海拔最高的住宿地，超过5200m的Gorak Shep。开始的一段路和昨天去
Italian Pyramid的一样，分开后是接着沿Lobuche河往前走。这段路很缓，也很好走，
到了一个挺明显的玛尼堆之后就要开始爬山了。所谓山，也就是小山坡，起起伏伏的，
翻过一个还有一个，始终看不见Gorak Shep的影子。右边只有一座比较明显的雪山
Nuptse，洛子和珠峰全被挡住了；左前方最突出的依旧是Pumori，一段之后其左边的
Changri也露了出来，卓奥友则几乎看不到。起起伏伏，两个多小时以后终于见到了
Gorak Shep的绿屋顶房子。
