I’m a fool to myself, everytime I dawdle thinking about going up, but finding an excuse to procrastinate, the weather changes and what was glorious sunshine has gone, leaving me up there in dark sunglasses and no visibility with my orange goggles at home in their case.

Monetier les Bains’ rose-tinted view of Tibet has always got on my tits, “free Tibet” flags and stickers are all over the shop and even the mayor’s office flies the “Tibetan” flag, which strikes me as just wrong, probably ill-informed and certainly not something a parochial village up a mountain (which admittedly has great skiing [...]
