Photo Impression from Taschi Dzom
Wednesday, May 17. 2006
Hello everybody. I know you are waiting for news about summit attempts, updates on rumours and what have you, but for now here is something to suit the cultural interested friends 
We will be leaving Taschi Dzom in a few hours, on our way to BC, ABC, NC & ...... This little village is nothing more than a crossroad with a few mud houses, but I always love it here. If you take the time to just sit somewhere for some time an dlet local life pass you by, you can get some views like this, enjoy (?)...
2 men and one child waiting on rocks in dusty Taschi streets
Little Taschi boy
And some more:
Hello money? Hello, Money? Hellomoney?
Street scene in Taschi
Taschi street scene (only 3 streets...)
Mudjumping is universal as well..
Serious boy, the hard life make him look 10 times his age..
Milan returning friendliness to local Tibetans
Local kids like watching themselves on Milan's viewfinder
Some culture is universal... Old man checking out the local babes
Local parking spot in cener of downtown
Girl posing in Taschi Street opposite our bunkhouse
The Taschi Hells Angels, wild wild west...
Small Taschi girl
.. being happy with just being around her brother

My favorite photo this time...all of them!!! Fantastic shots. National Geographic may be a closed door but eventually your photos will open that door...I am sure of it. Absolutely love the pix of the local parking spot in center of downtown; the Taschi Hells Angels wild, wild west and the small Taschi girl.
Cheers

Hi, Thomas,
I hope your eyes are ok by now.
Today I read in a paper that Japanese alpinist?? Ken Noguchi and his friend reached at 7,200m Manasul?? and had their tent there.
They do a cleaning of Everest every year.
Bring garbages down from the top to bottom.
They have their base camp at around 4, 500m.
I wonder if you guys have met them.
Anyway take care
Kiyoko

Hey Guys-
Great photos. I have been tracking you for the last two weeks. I am really jealous/ wishing that I could have come this year. All the best in the next two weeks. Be safe!

I'm sure you have heard that Tomas (swedish skiier) fell at approx. 8500m while repelling down a rock wall. He is still missing and his girlfriend put out a message to anyone on the north side that might be able to assist with the rescue. I know you are guiding Thomas but I thought you might get the word out in case any team could spare a sherpa or two. Here is the link http://everytrail.net/blog/tomas/
Again, wishing you a very safe and successful ascent with Thomas. He must be very excited! Good luck!

Dear Harry,
We met in Machermo, we were the photographers from Dubai going up to Gokyo as you were coming down. Its good to see that you are going strong, Ive been tracking you from time to time. I wish I was there rather than boiling alive here in Dubai-43C and its only 0905.
Good Luck, God Bless.
