Not true or not universally true? Perhaps you should realize where Hillary is from. Other than England and NZ, no one knows who the sherpa is. Funny how Hillary was knighted and the sherpa was not. no racism or discrimmination here!!! NOT!!!

Great film - I think the Sherpas should all join a Union and make the nasty foreigners pay dearly for their little adventures or make them carry their own crap by themselves. The sherpas have to carry the foreigners crap over 30 times in one season up and down the mountain and they barely get paid for their hazardous work. I hope this sets wheels in motion so they can finally get paid what they deserve.
I thought it was great that they were able to band together and end the season with one swift blow. I am glad the foreigners lost their $60,000 - $100,000 for their 8 week trip. Now they have to go back home and get more money and try it again next year. Hopefully the sherpas will strike again until they are paid for their services.
While white people are shocked at racism because of a commercial by chinese Palmolive they see nothing wrong with the racism that goes on in Tibet and other parts of the world.
Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary reached the summit together in 1953. No one knows who the sherpa is because he does not count. Only white people are important. Hillary would have never reached the summit without the sherpa who carried all his crap.
Looking forward to the 2016 season being cancelled again after the foreigners pay - Haha! Thumbs up for the Sherpas!!!

Sir John Bagot Glubb wrote - The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival. In his book he talks about the lifecycle of historical empires. He claims that the average lifespan of an empire is 250 years and that it goes through 6 stages. I was very surprised to find obsession with food at the top of the list.
Stage 6 is the Age of Decadence in which there is:
Obsession with food and Chefs
Undisciplined + over extended military
Conspicuous display of wealth
Disparity between rich and poor
Obsession with sex
Debasement of currency
Distraction by gladiatorial Games
Idolization of sports figures
Immorality + apathy
Desire for eternal youth
Consumerism
Saved for posterity.

Chinese Tomb Sweeping Festival

Urban managers throw block party, no one attends
发布者The article is a joke but the cheng guan problem is real.
There is a place near my house where they store all the trikes and vending carts that the CG confiscate from the poor people just trying to make an honest living.

发布者"You see that cart they're eating apples from?" he replied, gesturing toward the officers. "That used to be mine."
Have another party - bring a booth and put the chenguan inside - charge 5 yuan per person to throw rubber bricks at them - they can raise millions in a few hours.
Chinese college freshmen increasingly unfit
发布者Although some kids are not slim as they used to be - some middle school kids are tall and big now because of all those hormone grown meats - The majority still remain relatively slim.
However, they are very weak and out of shape because they sit in school all day and at home also doing homework.
They barely can do a few pushups, can not even do a pul-up - like private Pyle, and they get tired after walking short distances.
