How could I have forgotten about the phenomeblonde moment that occurred upon leaving the Potala Palace? As if these moments were…*gasp*…unimportant. What a profane thought.
The battered leather journal lists this as the sixteenth stranger photo-shoot of the trip, a number far beyond anything I was expecting.
Cheers.

Say, have you thought about being a lawyer in China? Your trials would be PACKED with everyone wanting to see the ‘blonde giant’. Think about it! 🙂
man what a spectacle it would be! plus, i neither speak the language, nor know how to be an attorney, so it would be an outrageous train wreck. sounds fun, though.
I want a Siji-la post! An entire entry devoted to the wondrous Tibetan Marlboro Man who managed to snicker appropriately during our moments of dumbness! The Driving Machine who almost threw the James out the window!
which reminds me…. remember how James was so blase about photographing Tibetans peeing, but shuddered in horror when we asked if he would do the same to one of us or another tourist?
oh, i’ve been planning the siji-la post for a while. i figured i would wait until we started on the everest journey and put it in somewhere around then.
james really did take a particular glee when taking pictures of urinating locals. too bad he was feeling so bad when we saw the catheter kid. (catheter kid sounds like some creepy medical superhero’s sidekick.)
