I was very aware of budgeting when I was traveling. I even kept track of every little thing I bought for a while, before I decided that was too stressful and unnecessary. It worked pretty well for me to have a daily target budget, but mostly keep track of how much cash I was taking out how often. Because I almost never used credit cards, this worked pretty well. I also knew when it was time to start planning my way home so I wouldn't be left with nothing. I softened the blow of reverse culture shock by going to Europe for a month on my way home and seeing friends and family while I was there. And I truly felt ready to come home.<br />
But there were so many things I wasn't ready for. I've been back in the U.S. for 4 months but I only stopped living out of a suitcase less than 3 weeks ago. I hung around Seattle for a few weeks when I got back, finishing up grad school applications and trying to make decisions about my life. Finally I decided I needed to get off the basement floor of the house I used to live in, and flew back to Austin to become an adult who lives with their parents. It was a pretty relaxing 7 weeks, hanging with my cats and doing yoga everyday and taking a road trip up to SoIll for my best Hannah's wedding. But I was still in this state of limbo, trying to choose where my life would lead me next. I knew I wanted to get my MPH, but the question was where - uproot my life again and move back to Germany, or uproot my life and move back to Seattle? <br />
So here I am, back in Seattle, and I haven't worked a consistent full time job since June 2015. I started the MPH program at Bastyr University at the end of September, and since I missed the start date for the German university, I guess I'm staying. It's been so much harder than I thought it would be to find a place to live and a job and have some semblance of a normal schedule. I didn't budget for my post-travel nomad life! It seems like things might finally be coming together, but this is still probably the most unsure I've felt about what I'm doing with my life. But don't worry, I'm sure my getting another degree in public health will get me a great public service job and I'll be able to pay off my loans no problem and I'll never have to worry about anything again. Right?<br />

Anyway, moral of the story is whenever I look at my bank account I feel like crying. I promise I will finish posting about my travels! Someday. It will happen.</div>

Dalat has become somewhat famous for canyoning in recent years, where you climb down cliffs and waterfalls, cliff jump, and usually zipline but we didn't do that the day I went.<br />

It was a bit of a bittersweet activity, because the day before I arrived, three British backpackers died on a waterfall. They weren't canyoning, didn't have the right equipment, had an unauthorized guide and snuck in the area without paying the entrance fee, but still. Very sad. This article explains it pretty well: <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/vietnam/12177509/Vietnam-suspends-adventure-tourism-trips-at-waterfall-where-three-Britons-died.html">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/vietnam/12177509/Vietnam-suspends-adventure-tourism-trips-at-waterfall-where-three-Britons-died.html</a><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The waterfall splits and if you're not careful and don't straddle it wide enough you'll be swept away. Or at least off your feet which is terrifying because you have to take your hands off the rope which you feel is the only thing holding you there (it is, on your rope, but there's also another safety rope the guide has)<br />

The first thing I heard when I got off the bus in Dalat was all canyoning had been stopped. Of course this was by a motorcycle driver that wanted to take me on a tour around the area, but I was a bit disappointed because I was looking forward to it. The next day however, the wonderful woman who ran my hostel let us know that trips were still happening in another area.<br />

It was a lot of fun! And harder than I expected, especially the first waterfall we did, even though it was the shortest. The worst part was they gave me a lifejacket meant for someone who weighs 90kg (~200lbs) and a large helmet. I didn't think much of it at first but I couldn't really see up or down, and we did a lot of scrambling up and down banks where you needed to use your hands to help you climb. But I survived, I just looked like a giant orange marshmallow. Just look at these pictures<br />

I just got back to Battambang, Cambodia from the Dhamma Lattika meditation center outside the city, where I completed my first 10 Day Vipassana Silent Meditation Course! I'm not really prepared to write a post about it yet and I think I need a few more weeks to really process it before I do - I tried writing in my journal as soon as we were allowed to have our writing materials back and even that was so jumbled - but I made a video. It's kind of long and the sound is bad but I wanted to document it right after it happened.<br />
<br />
Vipassana means to "see things as they really are" and you can find out more about it at <a href="https://www.dhamma.org/en/about/vipassana">https://www.dhamma.org/en/about/vipassana</a>. It was 10 days, 10 hours meditation a day, in silence with no reading or writing or electronics. It seriously felt like prison - complete with bars on the window of my little cell and a barbed wire fence around the small area we lived in. There were about 14 foreign female students and the rest were Khmer.<br />

I'll leave you with two songs that were stuck in my head probably more than any others, especially the first 6 or so days.</div>

At the end of December 2015, I crossed over a bridge on the MEkong river in Laos and boarded a slow boat bound for Luang Prabang. The trip took 2 days, and we stopped in Pakbeng to spend the night. I even went for a run in the morning, which started a very brief spurt of motivation to start running regularly. The nice thing about being stuck on a boat with the same people for 2 days is you're forced to get to know them before you're on the move again! We got a nice group of people together that I spent a lot of time with for the first half of my time in Laos. Unfortunately, I lost most of my photos when my phone was stolen, but I had a few on my camera and borrowed a few from people I met there.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and there are temples and monks everywhere. I spent a lot of my days with a French girl I had met the night before the slow boat, and we even got up at 5am to go up to Mt. Phou Si on top of a hill to watch the sunrise. We watched the alms giving to the monks from a distance but did not participate. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The night market was pretty great in Lunag Prabang and included lots of great food! They had these giant buffets that were cheap and delicious. I always got way too much food because I was excited about all the vegetarian choices! I definitely never went hungry there. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There's a restaurant/bar in Luang Prabang that is pretty much the place where tourists go. I did an early morning yoga class there on a deck overlooking the river, and came back again for a New Year's Eve celebration. I spend the first day of 2016 going to the Kuang Si waterfalls and jumping in the water. It was beautiful! </div>

The next stop was Vang Vieng! This place had gotten a bit of a reputation after multiple tourists died doing drugs and tubing along the river. They shut down most of the river bars and took out all the very dangerous rope swings and other attractions. Now the city is trying to rebrand itself as a family friendly outdoor activity center. This doesn't mean you don't see signs for happy pizza though! Every cafe had several TVs playing episodes of Friends continuously and didn't have chairs - just cushions and short tables with just enough room to fit your feet under. I did a lot of relaxing here, and also went tubing! I found it very relaxing and fun.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The next day, I rented bikes and went to this swimming hole called the blue lagoon. I heard other people say it had been really crowded when they went, but we got lucky! We pretty much had it to ourselves. They had tree branches you could jump off of. There are also several caves around and we went in one of them.</div>

After Vang Vieng, I made my way south through Vientiane and Pakse. I stopped in Vientiane mostly because they had an English bookstore and I was hoping to find a GRE study book, which I did not. It was a cute city on the water though with lots of French architecture, a night market, and a 25m pool near where I was staying where I swam some laps. I liked how much pedestrian space there was by the water for kids to play, people to walk and jog, and of course the morning and evening exercise classes.<br />
Pakse is also by the water, and I stopped there to hopefully doa 3 day motorbike loop but I got kind of unlucky and didn't meet anybody else who was doing it. Some people from the sow boat did it a couple days before and after me, but my stop in Vientiane messed up the timing for me. I enjoyed walking around though and met a couple on my bus that I ended up staying with later on, so it wasn't a total waste.<br />
<br />
Finally, it was on to the 4,000 Islands, and more specifically the island of Don Det. I did a lot of relaxing. I was pretty good at doing nothing by this point in my trip! I swam at a pool and in the Mekong river, attempted to go for some humid runs around the island and hung out with some cows, rented bikes and went to a neighboring island, and visited a huge water fall and saw some ugly river dolphins on a boat trip.<br />
<br />
I really liked the slow pace of life in Laos. Apparently they have no problem taking aid from other countries because they don't feel that it hurts their pride at all! They also think that working too much is bad for you, and doing a job you don't like is bad for your health as well. A friend of an acquaintance I met was late for the airport and offered a taxi driver double the price to take her right away, but he wanted to take a nap so he just said no. I can get behind that philosophy.<br />
I heard many mixed opinions about Laos from fellow travelers but it gets a big thumbs up from me.</div>

I just finished reading all 7 Harry Potter books in German, which was surprisingly easy and I still read them way too fast. It's actually amazing how often some words are repeated, but I'm not sure I actually remember any of them. Except I know another word for purple, which Uncle Vernon's face seems to be most of the time, and people do get confused a lot.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story, I am once again going through post Potter depression. And I can no longer just read instead of thinking about my future. Case in point: I got a GRE study book on my kindle (which is terrible but I couldn't find a real one) and spent all day yesterday looking at applications for grad schools. It was terrible.<br />

I'm on my way to Cambodia and am expecting corruption to start at the border and not stop and to arrive several hours later than expected. Woohoo. I hear it's beautiful though!</div>

I know, I'm way behind with blogging. I'll get there, I promise.<br />
I'm currently in a hostel in Luang Prabang, Laos (or Lao, still not really sure which is best/correct) where I welcomed the new year! 2015 was a weird year for me. I did a lot of traveling, both in the U.S. and abroad, and had some amazing experiences. At the same time, it was a mentally tough one for me. I felt emotionally drained for various reasons both at work and at home, and felt an enormous sense of relief when I stopped working full time and went to Germany for a month to travel and visit people. But of course things don't just miraculously get better overnight, and even after quitting my job and then coming to Asia, I've still been struggling occasionally. That being said, this really has been the most amazing past 3 months and I don't regret it for a second. I've been meeting a lot of people who are only traveling for 2 weeks for the holidays, and I realize how much I've changed. My speed of life has slowed way down, and I don't worry about what I'm going to do next. Except when I worry constantly about what I'm going to do after I run out of money and finally need to find a job again. But I'm doing my best to not think about that except to fill out the occasional application and live in the moment!<br />
<br />
Here were my goals for 2015:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.5455px;">Continue with emotional and spiritual growth, including journaling and meditation</span><br />
<i>I did start meditating, but it didn't last long. I think the longest I made it was 10 days in a row. I did get better at journaling though and traveling has helped that! I write almost every day!</i><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.5455px;">Complete a running challenge. I have an eye on the Lake Sammamish half in March. It's probably the flattest course in western Washington.</span><br />
<i>I mostly kind of ran the Beat The Blerch marathon. Actually pretty impressed I survived that one, even if it was just barely.</i><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.5455px;">Challenge myself every month. So far I have January: no refined sugar and February: no sugar. Yikes. Kate's doing both with me including the February cleanse so I think I will be more successful. After all, it took her going vegan with me for me to really do it. Every other time I tried I always quit because cheese. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Sidenote: in 2014 I went 6 months without cheese. Crazy</span><br />
<i>I didn't exactly do this as planned, and made a lot of mistakes on the way, but every month presented me with challenges.</i><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.5455px;">Exercise every day. Buy a monthly membership at the group fitness place I've been going to near me and go enough to make it worth the money.</span><br />
<i>I actually did pretty well, especially from March-June before I started traveling. I enjoyed working out in group classes and actually got kind of in shape! Since summer, and especially since leaving for Asia, I obviously haven't had the luxury of a studio by my house. Stay posted.</i><br />
<br />
This year, I want to keep it simple. Someone in my hostel mentioned their friend tried one new thing a week, and actually completed it. I was intrigued, but I am doing many new things right now and apparently that guy spent a lot of money. I really only have 2 resolutions:<br />
<br />
- <b>stop buying oreos</b>. This was a bad habit I picked up in China because I didn't always want weird Chinese food. The problem is, it's so easy to finish an entire package! This is not just me - a lot of travelers I've met have developed sugar habits and can easily eat 6 or 8 or however many servings of oreos is in a package. Obviously this isn't the only sugary food I eat and there are plenty of other packaged cookies, but for some reason oreos seem to be the worst. So I'm going to stop buying them. If someone offers me one, however, that's fine because I will obviously have a much more reasonable portion<br />
- <b>find a way to include exercise in my routine. </b>It's hard to work out while traveling. SE Asia is hot, so running after the sun comes up just doesn't sound fun. Plus you never really know what's appropriate especially for women and I don't want to be an insensitive tourist. But 6am is early, and I'm way out of shape, and I was a bit burned out and hurting after the marathon. I went on 1 run in China, 2.5 in Nepal, none in Thailand and so far 1 in Laos. I do think I will start running more because it feels right. But I also want to intentionally move more in any way, which could be yoga classes, a challenging hike, going climbing, renting a bicycle, etc. Anything more than the normal walking I do, which actually isn't that much. Everything is super close or too far to walk, unlike Europe where I walked a minimum of 30,000 steps every day. All that to say I feel out of shape and lazy! I'm not trying to train for anything or get anywhere close to the best shape of my life, I just want to find more of a balance.<br />
<br />
Other goals:<br />
- <b>continue to travel solo for as long as possible</b><br />
- <b>do one thing every day that scares me</b>. This is a goal, not a resolution, because I'm not counting. But sometimes little things are really hard for me. Striking up a conversation with someone new, for example. This gets easier the more you travel, but it can still be incredibly hard for me. Asking for directions or help from a stranger. Figuring out how to book a bus or train ticket the local way, instead of just through my hostel. Going places that aren't as touristy where I won't just show up to a hostel full of people like me. I hope to gain more confidence and lessen my social anxiety, which has been pretty bad for me the past few years.<br />
I also want to do jump of cliffs and climb up cliffs and go diving and maybe bungee jumping and other things that are new and exciting in a more traditional way.<br />
- <b>learn new things</b>. I've stayed at 2 workaway sites now, and learned a lot at both of them. Even if I learned nothing about farming in Nepal... But there is something great about staying in a place for longer than a few nights, getting to know the area and the other volunteers and the locals, and really having a home for a bit.<br />
- and finally, a bucket list item. I'm signed up for a <b>Vippassana meditation course</b> at the end of January, a 10 day silent retreat where you can't look at anyone or take naps and you sit and meditate for 10 hours a day. It will probably be the hardest thing I ever do. But I also hope to learn a lot about myself. I've been wanting to do this for over 5 years, and I also hope to develop a meditation habit. This has been something I want to start every year and always make it part of my New Years resolutions, but for me it's really hard to keep it up. At the same time, I know how incredibly important and good it is for you, and one of the best ways to help me overcome my social anxiety and disordered eating.<br />
<br />
I have no idea what 2016 will bring but it will definitely be awesome! I'm doing what I've always wanted to do and it's been absolutely amazing! </div>

After our flight from Kathmandu, Jordan and I landed in Bangkok and navigated the public busses to our hostel near the backpacker mecca, Khao San Road. We immediately missed Nepal's prices and weather! Talk about humid. <br />

We spent a few days wandering around, sweating, eating street pad thai and delicious fresh fruit, visiting temples and the Royal Palace and frequenting local and tourist markets. We also found a yummy vegetarian restaurant called Mango that came complete with a cat. It cost more than our daily diet of street food, but it was totally worth it.<br />

We finally managed to get out of the big overwhelming city and took an overnight bus north to Chiang Mai. We got in super early in the morning and my phone with the directions was dead but luckily found a couple people staying in a hostel near ours so we took a shared tuk tuk and walked the rest of the way with them. Finally the reception opened and we took a long nap. Apparently this is the place to eat and cook in Thailand, especially for vegetarians, so we took a cooking class! It was tons of fun and the Thai woman teaching it was so funny. Instead of "spicy" she said "sexy." The food was amazing.<br />

There's an old quarry near Chiang Mai that people go to swim in, and they call it the grand canyon. We rounded up a big group of people and hired a songthaew (shared truck) to take us. The water was really nice and there are a couple cliffs to jump off of. Supposedly they're 9m and 15m, or I've also heard 10m and 20m, but I think they're more like 7m and 15m. Anyway, I did not jump off the higher cliff because I have nothing to prove and I knew it would hurt and a girl at our hostel messed up her knee landing, so I didn't. But it was a lot of fun and they have rafts and other things in the water that make it a great place to nag out and spend an afternoon!<br />

Chiang Mai also has temples scattered all over its old city so those were fun to see as well. There are markets every day and the night markets are fun, but the huge ones happen on the weekends. The Sunday market was extensive and very crowded! There was also a lot going on because we were there for the king's birthday, which is also Father's Day because the king is the father. It's taken very seriously. (Edit: the king died on 10/13/16. RIP Dad)<br />

The night before we planned to leave for the small hippie city of Pai, I felt nauseous and was sick all night. The road is notorious for its many switch backs, so I was not looking forward to the drive. Luckily the driver was very nice to me and let me sit in the front seat and even bought me gatorade, but it was still an extremely unpleasant experience. Somehow I made it the 15 minute walk from the center of our town to the hostel. It was the hardest walk of my life. Because we couldn't check in right away, I found a porch area with plenty of hammocks, cushions and mattresses where people could hang out. I met several other sick people, and learned that a lot of people had gotten the "Pai-rus". The whole previous day I had spent with someone who had also been sick in Pai before she went back to Chiang Mai, so it made sense. Luckily most of the people we had ridden with from our hostel in Chiang Mai to Pai decided to chill out for a day too, so I didn't miss out on much. By the time I felt better, we had formed a pretty great crew and spent our days renting scooters and riding to waterfalls, the Pai canyon, caves, and around the beautiful area. There were normal markets throughout the day, and every night the main streets turned into a walking area full of food and crafts and tons of tourists. Pai is a wonderful place and a vortex just like Pokhara in Nepal - almost everyone stays longer than they intend, and some people never leave!<br />

After spending a while in Pai, it was time for us to make the trek a whole 6km to our next workaway, called the New Land Project. It was run by an English woman who had first come to wwoof on their sister farm and ended up staying. Someone had donated the land and she volunteered to take charge of it. Jordan decided to continue south and meet up with another group she had met, so I stayed and we parted ways. There were some reforestation and farming projects going on, but because of the time of year, most of out projects were building. I helped finish the walls and start the floor of a cob cottage, which involved a lot of elephant poop. We also expanded the bamboo kitchen with the help of a tiny old Thai man named Peedee. That man was amazing. We started calling him MacGyver because he could literally build of fix anything. We also helped a young Dutch-Thai couple who was building an earthbag house (literally bags of earth stacked on each other) nearby. We helped another American wannabe Thai man make mud bricks to build a house. We also started making a pizza oven on the farm. It was cool to learn so much about natural building!<br />

I finally had to leave because my visa was running out and I wanted to go hang out with some elephants! So I made my way back to Chiang Mai for a couple days and then on to Chiang Kong and across the border to Laos to board a slow boat bound for Luang Prabang.<br />

POKHARA AND TREKKING<br />
<br />
Pokhara is a city that sits on Lake
Phewa, and a strip right on the shores has become a major tourist
hub. It's kind of a weird mix of people – families, backpackers
resting for a while, people who have just returned from trekking, and
older hippies who have been there for years. You ask some people how
long they've been there, and they don't really know. It's easy to see
why – life here is easy. There are plenty of restaurants, coffee
shops, bars and bakeries with delicious food and good views to hang
out at. Not to mention the lake and mountains that fill the skyline.
It's the kind of place backpackers call a vortex – easy to get
stuck here for way longer than intended.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I planned on spending a few days here,
and possibly volunteering at a coffee farm nearby. But thanks to
Jordan, I met Melanie, who wanted to go trekking and was looking for
people to go with her. So she, a friend of a friend of hers Daniel,
and I decided to go to Poon Hill in the Annapurna region. It's a
short and simple but challenging trek with amazing views. After we
finally found the right bus (where we were banished to the roof), we
got our permits sorted out and set off on our way. There were lots of
stairs. But we made it to our first stop and picked up two other guys
who were on there own – Tom form Canada and Yannick from Belgium.
Because of the lack of tourists, the guesthouses along the way are
desperate for business. We were able to stay for free if we bought
food, but the food is where they make their money anyway. We played
some cards and chatted with the few other guests and their guides
before heading to bed early.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
On the third day we reached our
destination – the little town just below Poon Hill. Most of us were
tired, but I went up with Yannick at sunset. The view was incredible.
The next morning, we trekked up in the dark to see the sunrise which
was equally impressive, although much colder. We came back and ate
breakfast before starting out again. We made it a short day so we
could stay with Yannick one more night before he broke off to
continue on to Annapurna Base Camp. Tom went on ahead, so for our
last long day it was back to the original 3 of us. We made it back
without much complication.</div>

I had a few more days in Pokhara which
were spend relaxing by the lake eating delicious breakfasts, hanging
out with new friends, playing mafia on an 8 person paddle boat at
sunset, and really just enjoying the rest of my time there. Before I
knew it I was off to Kathmandu with Melanie and another trekker we'd
met. I met up with Jordan and Hanna from the farm for a day, and we
went to the monkey temple which was pretty entertaining. My month in
Nepal went by so fast! I loved this country and hope to be back many
times! <br />

<i>Finally. I'm not even attempting to organize these photos. I wrote this 2 1/2 months ago.</i><br />
<br />
Our first stop in Nepal was a farm in
the south, right near Chittwan National Park. We found this
opportunity through <a href="http://www.workaway.info/">workaway</a>, a website that sets volunteers up with
hosts around the world. In a lot of places this means you can sleep
and eat for free in exchange for your work, but it countries like
Nepal it's common to charge a small fee. So we pay $5 a day for food.
We intended to come straight here from the airport, but there is only
a tourist bus in the morning so we stayed in Kathmandu. And since
Jordan was still struggling with her stomach, we stayed an extra
night to get to a pharmacy and try to get something moving before we
left a big city. While she was waiting for it to work, I was able to
do a walking tour of the area between Thamel and Durbur Square. I was
just going to use my Lonely Planet kindle guidebook, but an art
student from Nepal started talking to me and showing me around. It
kind of had scam written all over it, but he assured me he didn't
want money. Plus he showed me everything in the guidebook and we got
some chai. Then he asked me to buy some food for the festival coming
up. I couldn't say no... even though I knew it was a scam. I just
told him I only had a certain amount of money so he put a lot of
stuff back. Oh well, everyone there needs it more than me with the
earthquake a few months ago and the current fuel crisis. Plus, I had
a lot of fun.

We got our tickets for the tourist bus
the next morning from our hostel so they could keep a bit of
commission. So bright and early in the morning we walked to a street
where there were tons of busses lined up. We found ours and got some
tea and fruit for breakfast. Finally it was time to go on the mostly
empty bus. We drove to the outskirts of the city and then stopped.
And didn't go. I realized we probably didn't have fuel, so I went
outside. Turns out, 1/3 of the busses had fuel already so we should
have gone without a ticket and asked. Oh well! The driver had to wait
in line for a number that would allow him to get gas. While we were
waiting for 2 hours, we talked to the other two Americans on our bus
who were a father and son duo. We also met Richard, an American who
had been living in Brazil but now spends his time mostly in Turkey
and Pokhara, Nepal as a paragliding guide. He told us the company he
works for so we're looking forward to trying it! We finally got going
again and drove about 5 hours to a town called Narayanghat. The
directions then just said get on a local bus for Meghauli and ask for
Eco Farm. We just kept asking people till we found it. After about an
hour we saw a sign for the Eco Farm and got off. We were led by
Bishnu, the man who runs this place, to the volunteer area where the
other 5 volunteers were drinking tea. They told us they were supposed
to be working so we got started right away! We planted some beans and
garlic and then it was time for dinner. The days here are pretty
relaxing.</div>

Some of us get up at 5:30 to go for a
long walk down the road. One day, we were on the edge of the national
park and we saw a rhino! Just chewing grass and looking back at us.
Then we relax and drink lemongrass tea before we work from 8-10am.
Mostly we've been digging new gardens and clearing our grass and
weeds. We're trying to make it look nice for the festival coming up.
Then we eat lunch, which is usually dal bhaat. Rice, lentils and
veggies. Yum. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. After we eat,
we can rest or wash clothes or go to the local school, which Jordan
and I did our first day. They were missing teachers so we taught! She
was the science teacher, and I did English, math and science for 1<sup>st</sup>,
6<sup>th</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> graders. There's also the town
nearby with some shops. Around 2-3, we drink more tea and then work
again from 3-5. We've been doing a lot of watering in the evening
when it's getting less hot and it's actually pretty fun. Better than
digging and picking grass. We have a little time after work to shower
and relax, and then we eat more dal bhaat. I'm pretty much always in
bed by 8pm.

We spent 2 weeks and had a great time
getting to know the village, the locals and the other volunteers. We
got to celebrate Tihar, a big festival that includes different
blessing day for different animals, Diwali, the festival of lights
when the goddess of wealth Lakshmi is invited into everyone's home,
and brother/sister day, where you get a fancy tika (mark on your
forehead) and sisters receive money and brothers receive sweets. The
whole village was covered in lights and the kids go around singing
and dancing to collect money. It was cool to be in a place where we
were part of the festival, but we were ready to be done listening to
the festival songs blasting at full volume 24/7! <br />

We made it to the train station and
after they checked our permits, we walked outside and saw a sign with
Jordan's name on it.One of the trip advisors, Kelsing hand come to
pick us up. We drove to the Heritage Hotel where we were greeted with
tea in old Lhasa right by the mosque. Yup. We were pretty much told
to just rest and both of us were feeling sick, but eventually we
couldn't take it anymore and walked around. We met a few other people
doing the same trip (there were 2 groups of 8 and one group of 3) and
even though they told us not to, we got street food from the Muslim
market. It was delicious. </div>

We both slept terribly due to sickness and
altitude, and were glad when morning finally came. We got breakfast
at our hotel that included fruit, toast, veggies, potatoes, noodles,
some kind of egg, and either little waffles or yak yogurt with fruit.
Then it was time to go to the Potala Palace which was first built by
the 33<sup>rd</sup> king Songtsen Gangpo in the 7<sup>th</sup>
century and then later rebuilt in the 17<sup>th</sup> century by the
5<sup>th</sup> Dalai Lama. Since then it has housed all the Dalai
Lamas until the current one, who would reside there if he weren't
exiled. We drove back to the center of town and all ate lunch at a
place that had every kind of food, except Jordan whose stomach was
hurting. I had momos – little Tibetan dumplings – half with
veggies, half with potatoes. The dipping sauce was so much better
than the plain vinegar you get in China. I was really excited because
I fist had momos at the Tibetan settlement Bylakuppe in India 5 years
ago and I loved them! Them we visited Jokhang Temple. We saw pilgrims
doing prostrations in front of the temple. The Nepali wife of one of
the kings of Tibet built this temple to house her Buddha, and its
location exists because the king threw up his ring and it landed in a
lake. Then a thousand goats carried dirt on their back to fill it in.
It now houses the Buddha of the Chinese wife of the same king,
because China's in charge. We also walked around the Bakhor street
which goes around the temple and is a market place and one of the
three circumnavigations in the city – the first is inside the
temple, and the last goes around the whole old city. Our guide,
Sonam, gave us directions back to the hotel and they were terrible.
In reality, it was a pretty straight shot, but we just found our way
to the main road which was way easier. The rest of the afternoon and
evening we just rested in our hotel room. I was still feeling bad and
Jordan was worse.

After another mostly sleepless night,
we ate and got in the van to go to the Drepung Monastery, a litte
west of the city. It was the world's largest monastery with over
10,000 monks, and housed the Dalai Lama before the Potala Palace.
There were lots of little narrow streets where the monks live that
were fun to walk through. Then we drove to the travel agency where we
had to pay our remaining balance. We were paying them hundreds of
dollars but they made it feel so nice because they brought us tea and
a ton of snacks! Close to the next monastery, and there was a
vegetarian restaurant J and I ate at. It was pretty good, but pretty
much like what we got in China. We shared steamed greens, a tofu
dish, rice, and some steamed buns stuffed with cabbage. Then we went
up to the Sera Monastery. We got to see the monks debating which was
fun. I got to see this in Bylakuppe, but this was much more intimate
in a little shaded courtyard. There were still a ton of tourists
though.</div>

After we drove back to the hotel, we walked around the temple
and got some threads that women braid into their hair.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We were finally ready to leave Lhasa.
Jordan was still feeling bad with stomach issues, but I was feeling
mostly better. We ate and then got on our way towards Shigatse. We
stopped by the Brahmaputra River, which we followed for a while, and
a homemade incense factory. Sonam told us we were driving straight
there, instead of the detour that brought us by some sights, because
there was construction going on and they only opened the road from
1-3pm. We drove a bit further and then stopped. It turns out the
closed the main road for construction too, and the even longer detour
we were going to take over the pass was also closed. Eventually all
the drivers and tour guides wen to talk to the traffic police, and I
don't know what they said but eventually they all came running back
and jumped in the cars to start going. We had to pass the section of
the closed road by driving on pretty nonexistent, dirt and sand roads
that were very bumpy. We finally made it to our hotel, 3 hours later
than expected. Sonam took care of our Everest Base Camp (EBC) permit
while we hung out in our super cute rooms, which we didn't take a
picture of because we thought we'd be back. Then we headed to the
Tashu Lhunpo Monastery. It was built by the first Dalai Lama in 1447
and then became the home of the Panchen Lamas. It houses the stupa
(tombs) of 7 previous Panchen Lamas. The current one was chosen by
the Chinese government so no one really considers him a real one.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We wandered down the streets and ate at
a restaurant and thoroughly confused the waitresses. But I got a huge
pot of veggie soup for about $2! We also got Tibetan milk tea, which
is just black tea with milk and sugar except the milk came from a
yak. I kind of like the yak thing. It's not as strong as goat dairy
products but definitely tastes different from cow. We've gotten a lot
of questions about our vegetarianism. Mostly we've been a lot less
strict here, especially Jordan, who mostly identifies as vegan unless
she makes her our animal products she buys from PCC. I'm used to the
questions and keep my answers short but Jordan tried to explain. Most
people on our trip have been pretty understanding. We always knew
China would give us the biggest issues but it really hasn't been much
of a problem. As long as we had our little paper that said we don't
eat meat we were fine (plus the cookies helped supplement our diet,
obviously)!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
After an early breakfast that wasn't
really ready when it was supposed to be, we headed out for EBC. It
was a pretty long drive, up and over passes (5400m and 5250m, the
highest points of our trip) with hairpin switchbacks. But the
changing landscapes were amazing. Mountains, rock formations, little
villages, monasteries up in the mountains and stupas everywhere.
There were cave dwellings in the sides of the cliffs, rivers and
streams, and less and less vegetation the higher we got. I was
thinking to myself how amazing and blue the sky had been in Tibet,
but apparently I thought too soon because the clouds started slowly
appearing in the sky. We stopped at a lookout on top of one of the
passes where you can see the mountains above 8,000m, but most of them
were hidden behind the clouds. If it was clear we'd be able to see
Mt. Makalu (8463m), Mt, Lotse (8516m), Mt. Everest (8516m), Mt, Cho
Oyu (8201m) and Mt. Shishapama (8020m). Still a truly awesome view.
We arrived at Rongbuk Monastery, the highest in the world at 5,200m
and saw the cave where a monk whose name I've completely forgotten
meditated for 12 years. It was actually quite warm down there! There
was a woman praying with a kitten on her lap. They've since built a
new monastery just up the road a bit and have a guesthouse where we
were planning on staying. Then we continued on to EBC! Some people
from the other group walked, which I would have done, but our whole
van drove and there wasn't any reason to walk except we had been
driving all day. It was cold and we were at a high elevation and it
wasn't a spectacular walk or anything. At this point it was pretty
cloudy, and we could only see the bottom half of Everest. Still
pretty cool. We took some pictures and hung out a bit, and then made
our way back to the warm van. One of the couples in our group, Nathan
and Kate from Alaska, were up there for a while. As they were coming
back down, Jordan said “Man, they were up there so long, I thought
they'd get engaged or something”. And they had! It was very
exciting. Then our driver, who didn't speak English but had been
winking at Jordan through the rearview mirror and saying “okay”
to her a lot said he wanted to marry her. So I guess she's moving to
Tibet! We got word that there was a snowstorm in the forecast and
they were recommending people go back to the closest town, at least a
2 hour drive. Along with the other groups we decided to stay anyway. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We were in a room with Bonni from Croatia, a flight attendant who
lives in Dubai, and Antje from Germany. It was freezing, and all we
had was 4 very thin beds and a bunch of blankets that never got
washed. We got talking about spiders and somehow all were just
cracking up at everything. It warmed us up a bit at least! We went
into the common room which was slightly warmer because there was a
yak dung stove in the middle of it. We got some overpriced lemon
ginger tea and our whole group could not stop laughing. Everyone was
looking at us but we were having a great time. We had a really great
group and were lucky to all get along so well. We had also made
friends with the people in the other group, and they were all really
nice. Finally we had to go to bed. Jordan, Bonni and I pushed the
beds together and slept sideways on 2 beds so we'd be closer to each
other. We put blankets under us and all the blankets on top of us. It
was pretty suffocating but it was warm. I don't think any of us slept
much. It was hard to breathe, everything hurt, Jordan's stomach got
really bad, and eventually I had to pee which I tried to hold as long
as I could but eventually had to go outside to the outhouse. I also
got a pounding altitude headache. I was pretty thankful for morning.
My head was so bad, I took some excedrin but then I felt nauseous and
threw up the tea. I felt a lot better afterwards. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Some people bought
breakfast and then we started driving. There had been a little snow
so it was slow at first, but soon the roads were clear. Sonam showed
us all the beautiful pictures he had taken of Everest when it was
actually clear. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go back someday! After
hours of driving back to Shigatse, we made it to a different hotel
than we had been in before. It was bigger and more modern looking but
there was no heat. Finally we switched rooms and were ok. We went to
the supermarket and had snacks for dinner. It had been a while. We
found an English TV channel about Africa so we watched that for a
while and then fell asleep. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jordan woke up and her stomach was really
bad. She was at the point where we thought she might have a blocked
intestine, which can be serious. She tried to talk to a doctor in
Lhasa, who didn't actually speak English like they said they did. A
woman from the other group, Anita, had been a nurse for forever and
helped her too.<span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span>It was a painful day for her but she
stuck it out till Lhasa. On our way back we stopped at Gyantse and
saw the monastery and the Kumbum stupa which is the largest in Tibet,
and Yamdrok lake, a giant turquoise lake that's shaped like a
scorpion. People do pilgrimages around it and it takes over a week to
walk around. We also saw the Nyenchen Kangsar Glacier. The angels
from the other group, Levi, Lacey and Anita, made it possible for
Jordan to stay at the Sheraton with them since there was a doctor
there and it'd be more comfortable. She didn't actually see the
doctor but Anita gave her some meds and helped her. The rest of us
made it back to our hotel at about 6:30pm. We were so ready to be
done driving. Since I was alone I got upgraded to a suite too, but it
wasn't the Sheraton! It was still fun to be in a giant room, even
though I was worrying about Jordan the whole time. It was also Kate's
birthday so we had a cake to celebrate and then most of us went to a
vegetarian restaurant for out last meal together.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Our last day in Tibet was Halloween. I
was on the early bus so we got going right after breakfast. We picked
up Jordan and she looked much better, although she wasn't completely
better yet. We dropped Catriona and Joe off at the train station, who
were only doing the first half of the train ride we had taken. You
know, only 24 hours. Then we went to the airport. 4 of us were
continuing on to Kathmandu so we said bye to the others and then went
to check in. They had delayed our flight for no reason but eventually
we made it to our gate, and then on the plane. It was only 1.5 hours
but it cost than it did for us to fly from Seattle to Beijing! I
didn't have a window seat but I could still see some pretty fantastic
views of the Himalaya.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tibet was an amazing experience. Was it worth it? I don't know. It was definitely touristy, but it has to be so that's what we expected. We had a great group and guide. It was very expensive, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to go again or if it will even be open, so I feel very fortunate to have been able to be privileged enough to go. If you only have a week to go to Tibet, this is pretty much the tour every company does. But if you want to experience more, maybe wait until you're super rich and can plan your own private tour. I have a lot of plans for when I become super rich...</div>

We came to Chengdu to see the giant pandas and the giant Buddha and because we heard it was a cool city, and we stayed a while to wait for our Tibet trip to start. We had to take two trains to get there, and because I made a mistake with our ticket dates, we ended up in hard seats twice, including overnight. It was not fun. We arrived in Chengdu tired and crabby, but finally managed to find our hostel when Kit, the guy we met in Zhangjiajie, had arrived the day before. A shower and some rest did us a lot of good. We just walked around a bit and went to dinner at a local restaurant. There's a veggie dish most restaurants have with eggplant and green beans (and LOTS of oil) and it's so good. We took another rest day the next day. We were staying right by Chunxi Road, the big shopping area, and walked around while Kit got some more winter clothing since he was heading to Mongolia after China. I also went to Carrefour, the huge supermarket. It was fun to walk around, and they had a lot of foreign food too. </div>

I tried to go swim laps, but I forgot my ID and they wouldn't let me in without it. It was a nice walk along the river, so it wasn't really a loss. I also got to see everyone doing tai chi, using the exercise parks, and walking and running along the river. </div>

Luckily Kit speaks and reads Chinese, so we were easily able to navigate the local busses to get to the giant panda research center. We took two busses early in the morning so we could make sure to get there while the pandas were awake and eating. We met another American named Jeff who walked around the park with us. The pandas were so funny when they were eating! They use as little energy as possible since they only eat bamboo and they have to save it all up in case they try to make baby pandas. Which, by the way, were so cute! We saw some who had just been born, and they were still in the little panda nursery. And we saw some bigger ones sleeping outside. They were on a little hill and one of them just kind of flopped down the hill without waking up. You could pay over $300 to take a picture with a baby panda but... we didn't do that. They had red pandas too. They were so cute! </div>

We took the bus to go visit a temple, and where we got off there was a Walmart! We just had to check it out. We ended up getting Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and they tasted so geed even though they were probably pretty old. Just a taste of home. The Wenshu Temple was in an older are of the city, so it was fun to walk around the streets. We got some noodles and then had tea in the tea garden in the temple. When we got back to the hostel, they were having a dumpling party! We assembled the dumplings and then after they got cooked we ate them. The veggie ones had egg and cabbage in them. We also got coconut "milkshakes" (they were just ice, milk and coconut flavoring) and put Bailey's in them. They were SO good.</div>

The next day, Jordan had a bit of a crisis because her ATM card wasn't working anywhere. Finally, she found one that worked. We got on a bus to go to Leshan, where the giant Buddha is. We had to take a local bus to get to the actual park. There was a big line to go down to see the Buddha, so we walked around a bit before waiting to go down. It was pretty cool. They carved it straight down in the cliff, 71 meters all the way to the water. We didn't have much time to enjoy it, since we were worried we wouldn't make the last bus back to Chengdu. Luckily we did make it. </div>

Kit visited another national park for a couple days, but it was expensive so we decided not to go. We spent the next few days mostly living life, finding our favorite places to walk to and eat, catching up with people at home, and taking a cooking class. We made tofu and eggplant. It was yummy and the lady who taught us was so cute! I walked to Tianfu Square and the People's Park on our last day.</div>

Finally, it was time to catch our 2-day train to Lhasa. We stayed longer in Chengdu than we meant to, but it was a good place to catch up on everything we needed to do. I also got sick there and was hoping resting would help me get better, but I was still sick on the train and in Lhasa.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We visited two different national parks
in China: Huangshan and Zhangjiajie. They were both really amazing.
Pictures and words can't do them justice. Plus most of my pictures were on my phone so they're not great quality.<br />
<br />
<b>HUANGSHAN</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We arrived in Huangshan after an
overnight train, and took a tuk-tuk to our hostel to drop off our
bags. He tried to get us to pay double for the ride since there were
2 of us, which was annoying and slowed us down. But our hostel helped
us sort it out, and once we left our big bags there were were pretty
close to the bus station. We took the bus to the city closest to the
entrance, and just stopped at what seemed like a random shop. We had
to walk a couple minutes down the road to get to the busses that go
to the park. A really nice Chinese girl who spoke English saw that we
looked confused and helped us get our bus tickets. We reached the
eastern entrance and said bye to her since we were walking up and she
was taking the cable car. It started raining pretty hard, so we ended
up getting giant yellow ponchos to help keep our stuff dry. It helped
us stand out less, because everybody had one! Some people had plastic
rain pants and booties too. It was pretty steamy inside our plastic
bags so it got kind of sweaty, but the views whenever the clouds
moved out of the way were amazing! We got to our expensive dorm room
at the Baiyun Hotel in the afternoon and relaxed and had some instant
noodles for lunch. The clouds were so thick you could hardly see
anything in front of you. I walked around a bit more but mostly we
just hung out and tried to use the internet when it was working to
plan the next parts of our trip.</div>

The next day, we got up to see the
sunrise along with the rest of the Chinese tourists who were there
during their national holiday (in other words, it was crowded). To
avoid the crowds and the noise that comes with them, we broke off the
path to a cliff that overlooked the mountains. We were lucky that it
had cleared up quite a bit so we were gifted with a beautiful
sunrise!<br />

We got some cookies for breakfast (there were slim pickings
up there. Don't judge) and got ready to hike. We kind of had a map
but we didn't ever really know where we were and some trails didn't
have names or would randomly be only in Chinese even though the last
sign had English as well. We started walking one way and took our
time to enjoy the views, but eventually realized it was the western
trail down to the exit. So we backtracked and went down a path by our
hostel. It was where I wanted to go – the fairy walking bridge. It
was pretty cool! We could have gone into the Great Canyon from there
but they had blocked off the entrance and it was starting to raid
harder anyway, so we walked back up all the stairs and called it a
day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">My sleep schedule was still not
completely adjusted, so I had been falling asleep around 7 and waking
up at 4. I got up to see what it looked like outside and it was clear
there was no chance of a sunrise viewing. It was pouring rain and you
couldn't see anything. So we took our time to pack up and left around
8. For the most part, it wasn't hard to find the way down but it also
wasn't easy. We were never 100% sure we were going the right way.
Sometimes we would try to ask one of the Chinese tour guides by
miming walking with our fingers and pointing down, or else they all
pointed us to the cable car. Unfortunately we missed all the views
that make this longer and more difficult way worth it, but when we
got low enough we could see out into the valley. It was a lot of
downhill steps, and sometimes the water from the stream was just
flowing down the river. We had been seeing porters the whole time but
we felt especially bad for the ones going up in this weather! They
are there skinny old men who carry really heavy loads on just a
bamboo stick over on their shoulders. They'll even carry people in
chairs on top of bamboo poles! At least they use 2 people for that.
We finally made it down and followed some other people who also
looked confused and managed to find the bus ticket window. We got our
tickets and waited for the bus that was going to leave about 30
minutes later. It was nice to sit down in a dry bus. We got off where
the bus ended and amazingly the woman at the information counter at
the big bus station spoke English and told us where to go! Except
them we realized it wasn't clear. We just ended up in a big parking
lot. So I translated “Tunxi (the name of Huangshan City)
Long-distance Bus Station” And a lady just pointed at a mini bus.
We weren't sure where it would stop but we kept an eye out. We passed
the bus station but luckily right after that the driver assumably
asked if anyone wanted to get out so we just made an affirmative
noise and ended up close to the hostel.</span></div>

We checked in and our room was ready
so we got settled and showered. We met Fabian, a German guy in our
room who had just taken a 24-hour train in a hard seat, which he had
switched off standing with an elderly lady. So he took a nap.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We pretty much lived in the lobby of
the hostel for 2 days. We only stayed 1 night, but our train wasn't
until 11pm. They were really nice there and we even got food from
them a few times. It was pretty good. Fabian had also decided to take
a day off before he went to the mountains so we hung out with him
some and tried to do some more planning. We got lucky when it was
time to go to the train station because one of the hostel workers was
driving home and took us with him.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We got on our overnight train to
Zhuzhou in a hard sleeper compartment – they have 3 beds on either
side, so you don't quite have room to sit up, and there is no door so
it's open to the hallway. We didn't really sleep. They came to
exchange our tickets for these little cards, which we were really
confused about, but later I realized they do that so they make sure
you get off at your stop even if you're asleep. The next morning we
switched to our next train. We had to get soft sleepers even though
it was during the day, and it ruined us forever. They only have 2
bunks per side, so there's a lot more room, and there's a door so
they're more private. We were both on the top and a really nice older
couple was below us. I had a great nap in the train.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>ZHANGJIAJIE</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We got to the Zhangjiajie station and
found a taxi. They all wanted to charge more than the hostel said it
would cost, but when I tried to get them to lower the price they said
no. Some drivers looked at the address and just shook their head. So
we just took one. It cost a whole $3 instead of $1.50. We got to our
room and met Kit, a guy from Singapore, and David from England. Kit
was going to the mountains the next day and had a whole plan (and
speaks Chinese) so we wanted to see if we could go with him, but I
was planning on meeting an old friend from Germany, Saskia Kroesen. I
hadn't seen her in 10 years! She was teaching English in another city
in the Hunan province where I was. So we decided to figure out our
Tibet trip and stay there another night.<br />

We had a frustrating day of trying to
book tickets and confirm our Tibet tour, which we decided to do. We
met Saskia and her friend Tracey and they went up the longest cable
car in the world to ------------ while we stayed back. I wish I could
have spent more time with her but we really needed to get everything
booked. When they got back we went to a restaurant for dinner and
Tracey helped us order everything. It was so good!! Then we made her
come to the supermarket with us and explain what everything was. We
hung out a bit but everyone was tired so we said goodbye and went to
bed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We took the public bus in the morning
to the train and bus station along with a few others from the hostel.
Then we got on the bus to the park with Kate, who was from Germany
but had been working in Xi'an and was traveling her way back to
Europe.<br />

Once we got our tickets, We took a detour at the bottom to
walk up to the Huangxi Village, which ended up taking forever but it
was really cool! It makes a loop, but we were pretty much the only
ones on the way down so we kept thinking we were lost. If you're ever
alone in China, it's usually not a good sign. But we made it and then
took the main way up and got up to the hostel. We dropped our stuff
off and found a lookout ledge nearby to watch the sunset. The rock
formations are really amazing. There are just these giant pillars
that go up so high. We were looking down and you can't even tell how
far above the ground you are because it is so deep. Once it was dark
we went back to the hostel and I had some rice and veggies from them.
They gave me hot cucumber but it wasn't bad. There were a bunch of
Dutch guys staying there too so we hung out with them.</div>

In the morning we walked to a lookout
that Kit had messaged and said his favorite. It was called One Step
to Heaven. We were pretty much on top of one of the columns! We had a
bit of quiet until some Chinese people came up. I took a picture doing
a handstand and them one of the ladies started doing the splits and
made me do them with here! We walked back up to the road and took the
free shuttle bus to another part of the park and started walking
down. We giant McDonalds and saw some giant salamanders that are
indigenous to the area, but unfortunately they were ones that had
been bread in captivity which means they can be eaten. Once we made
it down we left Kate since she was staying another night and walked
along the Golden Whip Stream all the way back, which was nice and
mostly flat. Constantly going up or down stairs was getting annoying.
We managed to find a bus that was going back, and once we finally
made it back to the bus station we got on the same local bus we had
come on but going in the opposite direction. Silly us, that's not how
it works. We realized we were kind of driving in circles and the bus
driver even yelled at us at some point but no one spoke English.
Finally this guy next to me looked at our hostel address and told the
bus driver to stop at the park. Luckily we had just walked to it the
day before so we got off and found our way back.

Back at the hostel, we met Jason and
Will from Canada and Cerry from Wales. We found a little bar that seemed kind of dead but they were excited to have us there and bought
us a lot of beer and played a dice game with us. We also ran into the
Dutch guys who had been on the mountain, met up with them at another
bar. It seemed kind of sketchy to us and we realized the lady in
charge was carefully counting all the drinks but continued to just
open them and give them out. We left, and it's a good thing we did.
They ended up getting charged a TON of money and when they payed what
they thought was more appropriate, they were followed and ended up at
the police station. They paid the rest of what she had charged them
and were fine, but I'm so glad I wasn't there for that. We hung out
of tge rooftop of our bar for a while and then went to bed. Luckily
our only plans for the next day were to rest until we had to catch
our train in the afternoon.</div>

We got to the airport in Beijing fairly late at night and luckily got a taxi who had no problem finding my friend Evan's apartment complex. After a bit of asking we found the right building and followed some people in to go on up. I hadn't seen Evan in over 3 years so it was great to see him as well as a shower and bed!<br />
Both Evan and Payam had to work most of the time we were there, but we got a couple meals together and they helped us do all the touristy things. We walked around the Olympic park and forest, went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, although we couldn't go in any of the rooms or the National Museum because you need your passport and Evan told us to leave turn behind...<br />

We also found a public bus to take us to the Great Wall. We went to the most touristy and famous section, but we went the opposite way as most people and it wasn't too crowded. We even had some moments up the by ourselves! Rare in China.<br />
Evan and Payam took us out one night to meet up with a bunch of people from Evan's class. It was fun to meet other foreigners there, and we got vegetarian food with his friend David first.<br />

Our last morning was National Day, so we hung out and ate Kerbey Lane Cafe pancake mix before the boys took us on their scooters to eat dumplings and drop us off at the subway. We made it to the train station with plenty of time which was good because it was packed. The whole country was going on vacation!<br />
<br />
Shanghai<br />
We got to the train station late at night and took one of the last subways to the hostel stop. Supposedly it was only a 10 minute walk to the hostel, but the map and directions weren't great so it took us a little longer. But we finally made it to the little alleyway it was on! There were no dorms left in the whole city, so we stayed in a double room that was supposed to have 2 twin beds but just had a double.<br />
We didn't do that much in Shanghai. We stopped by the People's Park on our way down to the big shopping street, E Nanjing Rd, and along the Bund promenade along the river. There were so many Chinese tourists. We took advantage of our free time to do some planning and look into Tibet trips.<br />
On our last day, we got up early and jogged down to the Bund, and it was so much nicer. There were other joggers out, old people dancing and doing Tai Chi, and older men flying intense kites. And not many tourists! I walked around our neighborhood, Jing'an, and found some cool buildings and fun shops. I also stopped in Mao Zedong's former residence.<br />

Hey! I've left for my Asia adventure and Jordan and I have been in China for almost 10 days. It feels like way longer. All in all, we've done pretty well, but China is quite different. And for a country where everyone is required to learn English in school, no one speaks it. We're been getting by with pictures, hand signals, and google translator. Oh, besides the fact that google is blocked here. And facebook, and instagram, and pretty much anything fun to do on the internet. You can download a VPN to get around this, but it was hard to find one that worked. I thought I had one on my phone before I came, but it turns out it didn't install properly, so I had to do some searching to find one that had a special download option for China (my phone's an android so pretty much every app is downloaded through the google play store - yup, you guessed it, doesn't work here). Pair this with unreliable wifi, and it's hard to live in the digital age here.<br />
We also had somewhat bad timing, as October 1-7 was a national holiday and all the Chinese were on vacation. Most of the foreigners we met were living in China for some reason or another and were on their own little vacations. This also meant accommodations and train tickets were hard to find and significantly more expensive. But now we're in Huangshan, the holiday is over, and we've met a lot of other travelers. Traveling in China is different and can be frustrating, but based on our experience so far, very doable. People are very friendly and if they do happen to speak English, they will often come up to you and ask if you need help (spoiler alert: we pretty much always do. We look lost and confused a lot).<br />
We haven't been that adventurous with food and have probably eaten more processed food than advisable. When we first arrived in Beijing, my friend Evan took us to several of his favorite places and we had delicious dumplings, steamed buns, and other vegetarian Chinese dishes. But we're been subsisting on a lot of cookies. We had someone write down that we were vegetarian, but even so you never really know what they're giving you. I'm excited for the food in pretty much every other country we're going to, but nothing really excites me about China. I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible, but I'm not sure it's going to be my favorite country and I think it was a hard one to start in.<br />
<br />
I'll write more detailed reports of all the cities we went to once we've made it through China and I have all my pictures more easily accessible and everything. Right now we're trying to figure out if we can make it to Tibet on our way to Nepal. I'm still hopeful, but the trip from Lhasa to Kathmandu is proving to be the most complicated. We can't do an overland tour, because the road to Nepal is closed due to the earthquake that happened in April. You wouldn't think it'd be so hard to fly such a short distance, but they don't even have a flight every day! But first we're off to some more mountains! Here's a sneak peak:<br />

A lot of people have asked me my route in Asia, and while most of it isn't set in stone yet, we have an idea. I didn't even include cities at all except in China. We're starting in Beijing, and then we ended up having a few extra days we didn't know we'd have, so we're going to one of the busiest cities in China during one of the busiest times of the year - Shanghai during Golden Week. We might leave early. Then we're making our way west to Huangshan to hike in the Yellow Mountains. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Huangshan_pic_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Huangshan_pic_4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then it's on to Zhangjiajie and the National Forest or the same name. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://misadventuresmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/rm8NwkOGCL-1920x1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://misadventuresmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/rm8NwkOGCL-1920x1080.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
Our last official stop in China is Chengdu, which is kind of a hub for some day trips, including the Giant Buddha. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.chinafacttours.com/images/sichuan/leshan-giant-buddha/leshan-giant-buddha-216201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.chinafacttours.com/images/sichuan/leshan-giant-buddha/leshan-giant-buddha-216201.jpg" height="230" width="320" /></a></div>
Then we're going to try to go to Tibet. We'll get back to you on that one.<br />
After about a month in China/Tibet, we'll arrive in Nepal for our first workaway host site on a farm a couple hours outside of Kathmandu. Our plans in Nepal can be flexible but we'll probably stay around 3 weeks.<br />
Then we don't have specific plans yet, but we want to travel and hopefully volunteer through Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar/Burma on our way to Thailand. There we'll be spending time in both the north and the south, with the idea being that we can take trips to Cambodia and Laos and probably Vietnam as well on the weekends when we won't have work. Then we intend to finish in the Phillipines.<br />
<br />
I could only fit so many locations on this map, but you get the idea. First west, then back east.<br />

A lot has happened since I last blogged. I had big intentions for blog posts, but life just kept happening. I was going to write about going to South Carolina for my sister Laura's graduation from Furman University, quitting (kinda) my job, going to Germany for a month, all the visitors I've had since I got back, how my marathon training was going (hint: not great) and finally, the marathon. But here I am.<br />
<br />
And I'm leaving for China in one week. That's right. I'm traveling with my friend/roommate/ex-coworker Jordan through Southeast Asia for about 5-6 months. And we leave on Sunday! I'm excited and nervous and stressed out because of all the packing I still need to do and things I need to take care of before I leave and trying to make plans for one of the biggest weeks for Chinese tourists in China while not knowing the language and doing everything over the internet. After we make our way through China for the first few weeks, we will have more opportunities to volunteer in exchange for room and board so we won't have to spend as much money. I'm hoping to keep blogging as much as possible, but I'll also be posting pictures on my instagram <a href="https://instagram.com/elizabeth_lt/">https://instagram.com/elizabeth_lt/</a>. I won't have a working phone so I'll only be able to use the internet when I can find wifi. And I'm still debating taking my laptop so it might be difficult to write long posts.<br />
<br />
There are still a lot of unknowns for this trip but it's something I've been wanting to do for a long time and I decided there won't be a better time in my life! Just for reading this, here are a bunch of pictures from the last 5 months of my life.<br />

You guys. I did something crazy. I signed up for a marathon even though I haven't run in months. I went on my first training run yesterday (a long run - 3 miles!) and I didn't die. I think I'm going to have to run for time or map out my routes ahead of time for a while, because if I run with my GPS watch I'll be too embarrassed of how slow I am.<br />
<br />
I'm very excited about this race though, because my friend Claire whom I've been friends with since 6th grade and her baby boy are coming! She's going to run the 10k. And it's the Beat the Blerch run, which should be a blast! The whole event started with the of a Seattle based blogger, <a href="http://theoatmeal.com/">The Oatmeal</a>, who wrote comics about running and life that eventually became a book and everyone loves him. He writes about the blerch instead of the wall distance runners talk about.<br />

They have cake and nutella sandwiches and grape drink (from another one of his comics about running) and blerches that chase you and tell you to slow down and quit and couches along the way for you to rest, and it's on a trail along the Snoqualmie River so you get all the fun of a trail race without having to run up a friggin mountain. It should be fun!!</div>

It's vegan, gluten free, oil free, and most importantly contains chocolate chips, which are the only source of added sugar. I didn't really measure anything, and I haven't actually tasted it yet but the batter was delicious. I loosely based it on this <a href="http://minimalistbaker.com/one-bowl-gluten-free-banana-bread/">recipe</a> and <a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2011/02/07/rustic-chocolate-chip-banana-oat-cake-with-pb-banana-glaze/">this one.</a> </p>
<p dir="ltr">I used 3 bananas, <br>
~1/3c almond milk, <br>
1t vanilla, <br>
1T nut butter, <br>
1 1/2 - 2c oats (1c I ground to oat flour)<br>
~3/4c hazelnut/almond meal I made once from the leftovers when I made nut milk, <br>
1T baking powder, <br>
Cinnamon and baking spice, <br>
A pinch of salt<br>
A small handful chocolate chips</p>
<p dir="ltr">I also made a glaze out of banana and peanut butter. </p>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13.3333330154419px; line-height: 20px;">Usually with Easter comes thoughts of rebirth, new life, springtime, and beginnings, but my grandmother on my mom's side passed away early this morning at a hospice center in Austin, TX. They moved her from the hospital yesterday, and she got to see all her children and their spouses, her husband, and her dog one last time. My uncle and the dog were there overnight when it happened. She's been sick for a couple weeks, and we were lucky that she came to a couple times and was actually able to talk to people. I talked to her on Saturday, and she couldn't respond, but my mom said she was listening. She was a very special person in my life and I have so many good memories with her! She touched so many people and was such a kind and thoughtful person. She was an avid reader of my blog and I will miss her but I know she lived a good life and I am grateful to have known her. </span><br />
