brad pitt was in tibet for 7 years (or so the movie claimed). i'm trying for 7 days

Came back from a very very very good inner mongolia trip and i couldn't ask for a better time with my mum, maid and friends! the photos are on facebook and i'll probably go abit more in depth the next time i post.

alittle sad when i had to send my mum off to the airport, but yep she's back home safe and its business as usual. the customers are dying to eat her food after 10 days and she was telling me how good business was. oh well, it'll be soon before i get home and see her again!

week 10 is already ending and my supervisor did a mid-term assessment (as required for the GIP) made my day man!

anyway its a 11 day trip to tibet tomorrow, and i hope i survive the 50 hour ride to lhasa, not succumb to the high altitude sickness that i've heard so many horror stories about, make a safe 24 hour train from lhasa back to lanzhou then a 3 hour flight back to shanghai on 10th! omg i am already looking forward to coming home even before i set off! well, perhaps its the fact that much has happened in the build up to this trip, although the thought of seeing everest in its true form, lake namco and other stuff are enough motivation to keep spirits up!

well, one thing for sure, my mum's friend said chocolates are going to fight high altitude sickness, hence the ks mentality to buy anything chocolate. these shall be the travel rations on the 50 hours there. sounds like a good dieting plan too!


ok maybe not, looks more like snacks fit for a cinema showing. hahaha.

oh well, time to pack up and be prepared! pray for my safe return and more exciting stories thereafter!!
