Batblog T plus 3 days

Important things I packed:
- marmite
- small jar of chili paste
- tin of Coleman's English mustard powder (in case I come across a yak steak)
- The Sound of Music DVD
- Mary Poppins DVD

Things I forgot to pack:
- all terrain, hugely expensive, breathable waterproof jacket

Things I've bought since I arrived:
- cheap waterproof poncho

Flying to Lhasa tomorrow, one day late due to China Air and the Tibet visa office.We did a short ride yesterday (to test the bikes) up a few steep hills to the Monkey Temple. A monkey threatened me, so I threatened it back. Then it started to bare its teeth, so I ran away. Go pick on someone your own size, I shouted.

Been in high spirits, partly due to the crazy Damion's company. I can see I'm going to get a bit egged on day by day, until I'm spat out the mountain the other end, completely deranged and unintelligible.
