I am risking my life to bring you this live report from Shangri-la, Yunnan province, 3,400 metres above sea level.  Am suffering from altitude sickness, and against advice, I just took a hot bath.   If you don't hear from me again, you know the reason.

Arrested for spying?

Ran off to join Fulan Gong?

Beaten up by waiters for ordering excessive free tea?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Mono will be fine. His skin has the healthy tone of old ivory.

I hope they don't eat him thinking he's a tusk or something.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Back.  One of the first things I did after getting back was climbing some stairs.  I wanted to make sure that I don't need oxygen cannisters to do so anymore.

Altitude sickness  :P  Piles of panadol extra prevented my head from exploding.

I had a dose of that in Lhasa. Similar altitude. No oxygen equipment, though.

Careful Monny. I hear your government kills the weak and bills the family for the cost of hauling the body to the local dog food factory. :(
PDH!
