Boys Play Marbles

Walking around Kathmandu, I saw two boys engaging in a game of old school marbles. I loved that their board incorporated the geography of their surroundings. Boys Play Marbles 6.1 megs Quicktime 1:07 min.

Kathmandu Taxi Ride

The craziness of Kathmandu seems all that much more visible through a cab ride. After spending a couple of weeks in Tibet, the food here was a great change. Kathmandu Taxi Ride 12.5 megs Quicktime 2:21 min.

Sunset on Everest

Everest is often clouded over, so being able to see this mountain on a beautiful clear sunset evening was probably one of my greatest travel moments. To put things in perspective, basecamp is at 5200 metres above sea level (over 17,000 feet) which means that when you are standing there looking at the mountain you are at a higher altitude than almost every peak in the Rocky Moutains. This is probably as fitting an ending as any for this series of 36 videos on my trip to Tibet. Hope you enjoyed following me along. Next stop... Sunset On Everest 6.9 megs Quicktime 1:19 min.

The Yak Train Arrives

It seemed quite fitting to see a Yak Train arrive at Everest which marked the major literal and figurative highpoint for our journey. With no light polution and less atmoshpere to look through, at night the stars were the best I have ever seen. Yak Train Arrives 7.1 megs Quicktime 1:21 min. Second last Tibet post...where will we go next?

Rongbuk Guesthouse

Unless you are tenting it, there is only one place to stay at Everest Base Camp. The Rongbuk Monestary Guesthouse. Certainlly not one of the nicest guesthouses around, but it does have one thing that no other guesthouses in the World has and it is well worth any discomfort. Almost done the trip now, this is the thrid last video in the Tibet series. Ronbuk Guesthouse 6.1 megs Quicktime 1:08 min.

Mapping Everest

Seeing the Himalayian mountain range for the first time (well, I lie a bit, we saw it from the plane on the way to Lhasa) is a pretty spectactular experience. We got our first view of Everest (lie again, saw Everest peaking from the clouds on that flight) and got exctied about getting even closer as we made our way to the base camp. Perfect day too (no lie there) Mapping Everest 4.2 megs Quicktime 47 sec.

The Yak Train

In my romanticized view of Tibet I always had the image of seeing a Yak Train carrying goods through the mountains and I always wondered if I was being a tad sterotypical in this thinking. Obviously, I wasn't. Sometimes it can be very hard to capture the calmness of a moment like this. This Yak train was getting away from me fast, so with only a short window to capture this, I had to work feverishly which really means that I was not able to appreiate this moment until I was back at home editing it. The Yak Train 5.1 megs Quicktime 1:00min.

Visiting Nomads

Tibet still has nomadic people. These Yak herders were camped out not to far from the road so we decided to drop by for a little visit. The night before, the hotel we stayed at gave us a carepackge with all sorts of bath and sewing stuff, so we gave it to them and they seemed appreciative. It is too bad we can't send the photos that we all took together ...being of no fixed address and all. Visitinf Nomads 7.3 megs Quicktime 1:19min.
