it’s amazing. our mobile satellite modem works! i’m uploading this from a dingy 5-person room in Tibet.
we crossed the border from nepal into tibet this afternoon over the “friendship bridge”. we’re currently at changmu for one night and we’ll be making an overland journey via 4wd to nylam tomorrow morning at 430am. roadworks along the way to nylam mean that the roads are only open for a certain number of hours a day, hence the early start.
the team is doing fine and eating mountains of food.
will update again, this is a short test despatch to confirm that the system actually works. =)
