My good friend and fellow adventurer, Albert Lin, recently returned from a five-week journey through China and Mongolia. Every few days during his travels, Albert's friends and family received an email journal entry. Each story overflowed with a detailed description of a foreign land few westerners have ever dared to explore.
Albert is a fascinating individual who feels as much at home teaching graduate level engineering classes at UCSD as he does in Mongolia eating sheep's carcass and drinking fermented horse's milk with his nomadic Mongolian ancestors.
Upon Albert's safe and highly anticipated return to San Diego, he organized his photos, stories and sound bites into a blog. His collection of photographs is impressive, but the adventurous spirit that radiates through his stories is one of a kind.
With Albert's permission, I present to you, Albert in China.
Wow... thats one serious soul-searching trip!
