The Rough Journey to Tibet

Posted by danielctw On October - 5 - 2009

Daniel is back again. Well, been neglecting too much until I thought what the heck, let’s get on with the Tibet updates. After like nearly a month’s absence from work, lotsa things to do which I find that I can’t really modify and look through my photos. Yup, some of the photos which are in my friend’s laptop is already with me. So then let’s proceed with my classifying journey to the Land of Tibet.

My first knowledge of Tibet came all the way back to when I was still in college. How did I know about that place. All because of one storybook.

Who would have thought the places that Tintin mentioned would now be the place that I would be traveling. Though that was years ago, and now I must say Tibet nowadays is too commercialized.

Finally now though, I can call it Daniel in Tibet.

My journey as most know started on 29th August 2009 and it was on the plane to GuangZhao. Yes AirAsia doesn’t have a direct flight to Lhasa, Tibet or for my case, the flight to Chengdu from Kuala Lumpur wasn’t available at that time. (I was like, why why did AirAsia announced the new flight to Chengdu but only starting in October 2009)

Instead of writing places to visit here and there, here will be a rough explanation of my Journey to the West.

After arriving in GuangZhao, it was a few days for us to see how it’s like here. How careful and clean their park is.

Hello From Lhasa, Tibet

Posted by danielctw On September - 6 - 2009

Yo yo people. It loooks like I have the liberty to post something while I am at Lhasa Tibet on this backpacking trip. Wondering what has been happening while I was away out here. It always seem to be a good time to see what I see to the people I miss and love back in Malaysia.

Though it’s been just a week, I miss Malaysian food especially mamak and hahaha.. I am now craving for teh tarik and my daily dose of talking crap while doing my usual mamaking.

It was a gruesome 2 nights and 3 days at the train. So with nothing to do, the last day was more of scenery shots. Here is a sample of what is to come in the next future posts. This might also be just a filler post before the real one comes along.

So nothing much to do. Not much time to edit. Most of them in raw format. I just wanna show you guys I am still alive and very much active. Only a little bit altitude sickness at the first few days up the train.

Snow Mountain

So until the day I’ll be back. Which is another 2 more weeks. I’ll be up to Everest Base camp tomorrow.
