RYAN.
Firstly this is a new journal because we don't count Tibet as China. We took some inspiration from the famous Brad Pitt movie that we have only seen once a long time ago for the title of this journal. We like his terrible Austrian accent best. "I want to Climb the Hamalyas." Well hopefuly we will be soon enough climbing the Hamalyas. This journal covers how we hid in kitchens, took side roads to avoid permit checks and generally did everything to say "fuck you" to Chinese authority in a land that is not theirs to claim.
