China

5 comments // Jul 16th, 2008 //

China is weird. Thats official, It’s really bizarre, we’ve seen it all here, so I think. Locals siphoning gas from car to car, people living at 13,000 feet in a tent, burning yak manure to keep warm, meat that hasn’t been refrigerated laying out for consumption, nose picking, terrible driving, horn honking, pirate dvd megatropulous’ and yeh of course Chinese massage. Everything you’ve heard is true and I might have even left some things out in an effort to keep this pg-13. The race is good so far, there have been some days that I didn’t exactly enjoy so far, but overall its a fun race. I made a crappy movie which has a couple of highlights from my trip so far. I whipped it together in under an hour so, keep that in mind! I’m off to complete the 220K stage which is probably one of the easier days here! My favorite picture taken this trip with a monk from Tibet after one of the stages. Hopefully if the internet is still abundant, I’ll post more later!
