Nepal Trip III - Mount Everest Base Camp

This time I finally got someone to conquer Nepal together. Six guys and me. I know on the way, there will be many times when we won't communicate, but I just want someone to go along. It's funny that when the Chinese meet together, English is a common language, but when the Malay comes together, there is always 2 different channels

Actually, it could be quite stressful to go with them. Everyone has bought expensive gears. To me, this is a once every 3 years activities, why get somethings that will not be useful anymore on the next return. Moreover, why buy things that need space to store... for 3 years
