A friend since the first day I arrived at Dao Ming. At Dongguan (东莞) Shi (市Market or City) Nánchéng (南城south town) Qu YángGuāng (阳光sunshine) diqi (第七17th) Xiǎo Xué (小学primary school), I was reunited with Bright once again.

As part of the Christmas movement, I attended two Christmas parties at Speaker Training Centre (Hengli) and another Christmas themed afternoon in Dongguan City 17th Sunshine Primary School. Seeing and hearing Christmas, as an embraced addition, an imported tradition doesn’t even seem purely commercial. Even my apartment complex has invested in a huge tree and many decorations. The local malls (shopping centres), cafes, bars, even small shops have all gone all out. The neighbouring kindergarten (nursery school) seemed to be ploughing through Christmas songs faster than a sleigh whizzing around the world, carrying a fat bloke delivering presents and gifts.Ĭhristmas, this year, was and remains far more visible than the previous two years. “Last year I gave you my heart…” and this was odd. 再见/ Zài jiàn / Bài bài / Ta’ra / Goodbye Unclassified Everest, hiking, Kathmandu, Nepal, trekking, vimto 我永远不会放弃 (wǒ yǒngyuǎn bú huì fàngqì īetween the articulations of idioms a Chinese class beneath the Grade 4/5 office, I could hear the distant sound of Wham. But, dreams… dreams must be put into action, one by one. Months, weeks, days and hours of planning is about to begin… I’m both excited and nervous. with my onward road of China by the 29 th of January 2017. Hopefully I’ll get a day in the city before flying back to Hong Kong S.A.R. After a few hours of that, I head back to Kathmandu as fast as I can. Here I will trek to Kala Patthar (5.545 m) and Everest Base Camp (5.364 m) to gaze upon Everest (8.848 m). Khumjung (3.780 m) looking over at Ama Dablam (6.856 m), Tengboche (3.860 m) for the great monestaries, Pangboche (3.930 m), Pheriche (4.270 m), Dingboche (4.410 m), Dughla (Thokla) – 4.620 m, Thokla Pass (4.830 m) and my final place for sleeping in Gorak Shep camp (5.140 m). My plan involves Phakding (2.610 m), Mojo’s Sagarmatha National Park Entrance around Larja bridge (2.830 m), and Namche Bazar (3.440 m), hopefully arriving on a Friday to witness the great Saturday morning market. There are a few alternative routes that bypass Lukla and head on to Namche Bazar (3.440 m) but perhaps the altitude gain is too great. Some say it can be done in 6, but I guess they’re more Superman than I. Not me, I’m walking as the explorers of old did. Nowadays many people abandon the old ways and fly from Kathmandu to Lukla. From there, I will hike from Jiri (1951m) to Deorali (2705m) Deorali to Sete (2575m) Sete to Junbesi (2675m) Junbesi to Numtala 2360m Numtala to Khari Khola 2100m Khari Khola to Surkhe 2293m and Surkhe to Lukla 2810m. I will somehow get to a place called Jiri by car, jeep or bus. Just to prove a point, here is my checklist… Water bottle/1L water packĪfter three days in Kathmandu, I will begin my ascent. Just like Father Christmas has done in recent times, I have made a list of things to take, checked it twice, thrice and more times. Jet Airways, I have heard, aren’t that bad, so here goes a journey into the unknown and unexperienced with an airline I know little about. The 2966 km journey (as the crow flies) will take longer as a budget flight dictates the change in India. Hopefully, I’ll have my baggage collected and be mobile before the year 2017 A.D. I arrive local time in Nepal at 23:00hrs. International Airport on Saturday the 31 st of December 2016, at noon. My flight to Nepal’s Kathmandu (via Mumbai, India) departs Hong Kong S.A.R. I have less than two days before I feel myself soaring into the sky… I am sat here smugly sat here, with my cup of squeezy no-added sugar Vimto.
