Isabella Bird Zitate

The traveller who aspires to reach the highlands of Tibet from Kashmir cannot be borne along in a carriage or hill-cart. For much of the way, he is limited to a foot pace, and if he has regard to his horse, he walks down all rugged and steep descents, which are many, and dismounts at most bridges.

Der Reisende, der von Kaschmir aus versucht, das Hochland Tibets zu erreichen, kann nicht in einer Kutsche oder einem Hügelkarren mitgenommen werden. Für einen Großteil des Weges ist er auf ein Fußtempo beschränkt, und wenn er auf sein Pferd Rücksicht nimmt, geht er alle schroffen und steilen Abfahrten hinunter, die viele sind, und stößt an den meisten Brücken ab.

How many deaf people do you know in real life? Unless they live in a cave, or are 14, which seems to be true for most people in this business, what could I possibly tell them that they don't already know?
