Today I learned that there's an organization called the European Brain Council, based in Brussels:

And that @TJRyan_77 is a member of its board of directors.

A compound with the unpresuming designation of #EBC-46 has made a splash in recent years for its #cancer fighting prowess.

If you'd like to listen to my Everest Base Camp extended podcast cut, the link is finally here!

Finally weighted myself after the trip. Lost 5 pounds. Kinda expected.

On #EBC the food was decent but not great. The higher you go, the more expensive and limited food becomes. People generally don't recommend ordering meat in higher villages, because all food was carried up and meat might not be properly refrigerated. And an order of "fried egg(s)" was two eggs at first and become one egg later.

Eggs, cheese, and lentil soups were the main protein sources on the trek.

Read this novel on the #EBC trek: Recursion by Blake Crouch. Pretty good. I'd rate it 4/5.

Lots of reading time on EBC definitely bring a book or two https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42046112-recursion

Did it! (@ Mount Everest Base Camp (5364M) in Solukhumbu)

昨天洗澡之前想起来还需要洗发水，因为没想到路上可以洗澡所以压根没带。

去旅馆自带的小卖部买。看小卖部的小朋友表示应该有但是不知道在哪儿。于是我们一起在小卖部里找了半天。。也还是没找到。

最后去隔壁小卖部买到了。走了三天开始发黏的时候洗个澡可真爽啊

每天最关注的指标是血氧。每天七上八下的。希望不要高反

Hike了十分钟来给 @orz_zai 寄明信片，邮局居然关门门上贴个纸说去tea break了。。只好来旁边喝茶等。喝完茶邮局还没开门，茶店老板娘说今天是个什么节估计邮局的人自己放假了。。收了我一点邮票钱说会帮我寄出去 (@ Alpine Lodge Namche) https://www.swarmapp.com/weiwei9/checkin/6440eff4adb55633db499c08?s=wFWHaqIVaxY2ZRL1rew53V50lLU

EBC(Everest Base Camp) trekking第三天。待在Namche走走小trail适应海拔。

EBC的起点是Lukla，海拔2850米。Namche海拔大约3500米。

沿途的手机信号比我想象的好太多，每个村都有信号，路上时有时无。

一路住的地方都有简单的床和被子，很不错的食物，不太可靠的wifi，有时候要收钱的电源插座，有不少甚至还有淋浴！
