Frolicking in the Highlands

Hello all. I got to Tibet alright, after many hours of navigating the Chinese transportation system. So far things have been awesome. I have gone to a number of temples, wined and dined with a bunch of female Chinese doctors, played frisbee and picnicked amongst yaks, and begun working for the NGO One Heart Tibet. I haven't had any altitude sickness (though even climbing stairs at first took my breath away) nor any GI illnesses.

The work I've started has involved translating death records from rural municipalities, and tomorrow, we are heading out into the country (16,000 feet elevation) to administer some surveys on child health.

Anyway, I have to go eat but I'll post more, including some pictures, later!
