For sustained
terror
that goes on long enough to
dull the mind
to the notion of
certain death
, there's nothing like the excursion from
Lhasa
to
Shigatse
and
Gyantse
. Rattling along in an ancient
bus
along a .75-lane "
road
" barely cut into the side of the
Himalayas
, the tires so close to the edge that you can't see it when you look down out the
window
. . . holding on desperately as the bus climbs over
rockslide
s . . . zooming past
heavily-armed
Chinese soldiers
. . .
playing chicken
with
army convoys
. . . yes, there's nothing like a
blind curve
at 30,000 feet above sea level! (and at least a mile above the
valley
below, or so it seemed)
I have seen the elephant
