Likes Altitude: Not Shael

The road to Litang.. ( its a high one) - Photos of Litang itself, one of the worlds highest towns soon to be posted. At up around 5000m a hill is like a brick wall. i'm stopping every 150m to collapse heaving over my handlebars..
They look harmless, but these kids are ravenous for candy.. as soon as they see your stash in the handlebar bag it's all over. She got my last candy..

Making friends in Yajing, everyone seems to love badminton here and they go wild playing in the town center 24hrs a day.. Taken to a kareoke bar with my friend nick by the owner of our hotel.. was pretty interesting as the power kept going out and people would just all join together singing by candlelight even louder in the lack of music while some poor soul went nuts yanking on the generator.
