07NOV06 Departure to Beijing, Shanghai and Tibet

I departed from Vancouver to Beijing yesterday Sunday, November 5th. Prior to arriving in Shanghai for business at the China International Tour Market (CITM) I've decided to ride the new Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and I'll spend the better part of a week in Tibet exploring Lhasa and the surrounding area.

My pre-trip preparations were all made in great haste the week before departure, and in spite of the fact I only received final confirmation of my train ticket and Tibet Pass the day before my departure, I'm ready for a great adventure to one of the highest cities in the world, via the most spectacularly engineered railway in the world! In true Anthony style, I've packed pretty much everything but the kitchen sink!
