tibet analysis

My first day of slacking around. Feels good to finally have some time to do some stuff. LIke reading the ALL-MANDARIN tibet itinerary. Since the height affects the weather, and the weather affects what we wear, i had to do some analysis. there had been a great debate going on about weather we'd see the real base camp (at 5000m above sea level) or just a fake, touristy one. Coz lhasa is at 3500m, and we cannot ascend more than 500m a day. hence, i had to analyse every place of interest we were visiting.. and here's the conclusion i received:
