senorjosh.com: yellow mountain

huang shan is the one place in china i vividly remember from my visit eleven years ago. thankfully - despite the addition of a few hundred hotels and a few million tourists - not a whole lot has changed. i mean, a whole lot has changed, but the mountain is still there, the views are still pretty nice and the sunrise is still impossibly perfect.

yellow mountain is also the place where they filmed crouching tiger hidden dragon. if you didn't immediately recognize it from afar, there are plenty of billboards to remind you. only in china would they obstruct your view of a mountain with a picture of that same mountain with a movie actor on top.

I have already noticed that you are wearing a BOCA shirt! :-) It's funny! (only because I'm not a river fan) I can post you a photo with a San Franceisco jersey on and Puerto Madero as background. Anyway the pictures are amazing!

I notice you didn't say anything about being carried up the mountain in a sedan chair by 4 men your last trip. Not very PC but then, you were sick...
