yep, gives you a whole new perspective. sold the house and the car and the motorcycle,
move to china, learned chinese. valve went bad, so had a replacement in india. then to thailand
for a year to learn a little thai. finally back to china to teach english.
got a new valve, ran a marathon, cycle across thailand and vietnam and laos and cambodia
and southern china. two week vacation this summer, will tour myanmar, then from bangkok
will cycle back to china.
new valve should last twenty years or so, then get a new one. unless i'm bitten by a black
mamba or stomped by a rogue elephant or wake up with a cobra or miss the landmine markers.
but now you've got me thinking...what should i do to celebrate 50?
got it....i'm gonna bicycle uphill all the way to lhasa.
