Counting down... 6 more days to go

Today after bringing my son to his enrichment class, we went to the travel agent to pay the balance of the tour fee and to hear the briefing. There were quite lots of people attending the briefing. Total of 31 pax for two types of tour, 10 days and 12 days tour to Tibet. The difference of 3 days is that we get a chance to go to Base Camp of Mt Everest or Qomolangma (Zhu mu lang ma) in Chinese or Mount Sagarmatha in Tibetan language.

We chose to take the 12 days since we are going to Tibet, why don't we take a chance to see the base camp as well, as we can also see how the Mt Everest look like. The highest mountain in the world (height of 8848 metres above the sea level. We won't climb the mountain though... But a view of it has already made me satisfied :) Hope I could get a chance to see it and be there...

In the briefing, we were told on what things to take notes during our trip, what items should be bring, what type of clothes should we wear, and so on. I can see that everyone is very exciting and look forward for this trip. Each of us worry about altitude acclimatization sickness, but the key to it.. is to relax and don't worry so much. The guy said that in every train, in every hotel, there is doctor that can help us. The hospital there is also convenient to go. We were asked to get relax this few days before the trip. Haiz... I still have to do my month-end closing, hope that everything goes smoothly... And don't make me stress too much oh!
I bought travel insurance policy as well, just in case if anything happens. At least we were covered.

In Tibet, there will be a Shoton Festival from 10-12 Aug. We won't purposely attend the festival, but we might be able to feel the atmosphere during that period. There will be lots of people in town, crowd everywhere, more people in train, hotels, street, etc. Just hope we won't get lost! Hahahhaa....

It's really been my dream to be there.. Hope I have a fate to be there.... Wish me luck!!!
