Amazingly, while traveling through Tibet you are still hooked to the grid. I commend your dedication. Life in LA is going well. I got an iPhone for my upcoming birthday. Let's see -- I turn 25 and you turn -- how old again? I hope you spend the 28th in style. Talk to you soon! Andy — This is a great story.

Love your blog. I have the same experiences in Vietnam. But the funny thing is that I find the norms so contradictory. On the one hand they have no problem laying or sitting on the ground (where it obviously isn't clean). They also have questionable toilet hygiene. And pollution is a big problem. And then the stamp thing? Weird. Great story. Love your blog.
