EverestHey! I'm on the summit of big old Mount Everest. You know there are a lot of beautiful things about Everest. It is the tallest mountain on Earth at 29,035 feet tall and still growing. It is found in China, Tibet and Nepal and is 60 million years old. It was made up of two tectonic plates that crashed into each other and formed the mountain that grew by a centimeter every year. This mountain can be snowy, cold, have winds up to 180 mph, be -75F or be sunny hot and 90F. Everyone (including me) who climbs this mountain needs oxygen tanks due to the high altitude (it's pretty scary). Sir George Everest discovered the mountain from which it took its name in 1841. The names Nepal and Tibet have given it, according to locals, both mean goddess of the sky or the universe. 4,042 people, excluding me, have climbed Mount Everest while 248 people have sadly died trying to climb the mountain. The 40-day trek on one of 18 different routes is all very challenging. the youngest to reach the mountain summit was 13 years old while the oldest was 80 years old. The second largest river in China is the Yellow River where I was before Everest. The Mother River, as China calls it, is 3,395 miles long. It begins in the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai province and passes through nine other provinces until it flows into the Yellow Sea. It owes its yellow color to the soil that flows through and around it. Hey, I just went to visit Siddhartha Gautama's hometown; Lumbini, Nepal. Now you could also Siddhartha Gautama as the Buddha, a religious philosopher from the 6th century BC Buddha means "enlightened one" and his father was king of India and Siddhartha was prince of India. His father and others said that Siddhartha would be a great leader and a great man. Sid......in the middle of the card......I found out that they were broken but now they have been put back together.Ahhh, the Maliandao tea market in China, a 1500 meter long street selling tea, tea and did I mention tea? Yes, tea. many types such as green, black, jasmine, oolong and many other types. This market has some vendors open 24 hours a day and many vendors like to negotiate the price with you because it's kind of a culture. One building has three floors dedicated to tea; where they brew and pour tea in front of you like a hibachi chef. I'm outside the campus of the Foxconn iPhone factory where Steve Jobs' mind comes to life. This facility is China's largest electronics manufacturer, with approximately 13 factories on a 1.16-mile campus. Many people call this “Foxconn City” where employees work 12 hours a day six days a week for their economy and our technology. various sources
