so i know these posts arnt nearly as cool as the videos i was doing but here's an update. the pictures are in opposite order.
when i was in india, my parents said that they would be in china with my youngest brother visiting my oldest brother and his family. so i changed my plans and flew from delhi to beijing to meet everyone. we hung out in beijing for a bit, went to the great wall and the forbidden city and went to an army base and shot automatic weapons. then flew to south china to hang out in a beautiful town on a river. then to hongkong, then they all went back to beijing and toured south china for a month.
then i took the highest train in the world to tibet. tibet was not what i expected. very dry and desolate with some very high mountains. saw some cool temples and camped at the base of mt everest. went to the highest lake in the world and got to the highest ive ever been, 5248m. to get into tibet you have to be with a group tour. im not a group tour kind of a guy so that was a little annoying. we had a bus that kept braking down and there were a lot of bumpy roads. now im in kathmandu nepal.
i found out a wile ago that i dont have a job back on the river this summer. under normal circumstances, this would be a bad thing. but in this my line of work (that is the now not having a job and traveling instead) you have to be flexible. so last night i went walking around town and found a rafting job here. i wont really be making anything but living for free. they also do trekking and biking. so ill stay here for a wile, then maby go to japan and try to work on a organic farm/guest house for the summer.
