Chinese Adventure: Editing ED007

The document is about a journey through Tibet. It describes being caught in a snowstorm on the Tibetan plateau and sheltering behind horses when visibility dropped to near zero. After the storm lifted suddenly, the group rode for another hour before coming upon a solitary cone-shaped hill that their Tibetan guide, Meiga, identified as a holy mountain. Meiga took out colored papers with Buddhist scriptures from his saddlebag and flung them into the air, watching happily as the wind swept them away.

1 On the Tibetan plateau in China there was no place to hide. The snow
2 flew around us like arrows. Our Tibetan herder, Meiga, has forced his horse
3 through the storm and was searching for shelter. When the visibility dropped
4 to near zero all which we could do was stop and bunch up the horses.
5 My goal was to travel the length of the Mekong, the world’s twelfth
6 longest river. To reach this place I had been travelled a thousand miles in an
7 old army jeep from Xining. Now, as we were sheltered behind our horses, I
8 wondered if we would have to turn back. Then the storm lifted up, as suddenly
9 as it had ever begun, leaving a bruised grey sky.
10 After we rode another hour before coming to a solitary, cone-shaped hill. It
11 was the holy mountain, Meiga told us. He reached into his saddlebag and
12 pulled out a stack of colored papers printed out with Buddhist scripture.
13 He shouted and flung the prayers high over into the air and watched happily
14 as the wind swept them away.
