Historical Trekking
Trekking is a form of hiking or walking through mountainous rugged or rough areas. It is a sport which most often takes place in beautiful mountain ranges. When trekking in Asia the hiker gets the opportunity to experience the beauty and uniqueness of the Himalayas. The Himalayas have the largest mountain peaks in the world and stretches across six countries in Asia. So it goes without saying that when trekking in Asia it is definitely going to be worth visiting the Himalayas. The six countries of the Himalayas are Bhutan China Nepal India Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The different countries in Asia hold different types of treks and tours. However because they all hold the same mountain ranges their treks can be quite similar and easily found on any directory for any of the six countries. When trekking in Asia it is important to note that it is not the same as climbing and everyone young or old can partake in a trek. Different treks have different distances and level of difficulty so it is up to the discretion of the trekker to decide what level is best suited to them.
Because of the different levels of difficulty of the treks the distances are usually better calculated in time it takes to complete the trek rather than distance covered. Treks can go over a period of one day to a few weeks. The hikers do not have to be walking the whole time though and a lot of the longer treks have days off to discover the country and nature at your own pace. Once started on a trail for the day however the group must meet their destination for the day or they will find themselves in a spot of trouble as concerns the sleeping arrangements.
When trekking in Asia the group has the choice of either sleeping in tea house huts that are situated along the trail or camping out in the nature in tents. If you go with an organised group it is often planned that you do not have to carry your tents and sleeping equipment but rather they are ready and waiting for you when you arrive at your campsite at the end of the day. This is one of the many advantages of trekking with an organised company when trekking.
Trekking in Asia is a unique experience enjoyed by those of you who like to be active and adventurous at the same time. It is a lovely way to experience the true beauty of nature and to spend some time appreciating it too.

Have Some Chowder. Then Eat The Bowl
Fishermanss Wharf. The Golden Gate Bridge to your left. Alcatraz out in the bay. Ghirardelli Square behind you. The smell of seafood everywhere. Your stomach growls. You are hungry. So what are you going to do?
Here’s some advice from Martin at JotWay.com.
My favorite choice on the wharf is a bowl of chili. Of course chowder may be the more traditional dish around here but for us poor souls who dont like seafood chili is a welcome alternative. And there is no cooler place to have a bowl than the Boudin Bakery.
The chili itself is quite tasty but not necessarily something to write home about in my book. The cool part is that you get to eat the bowl. Dont worry you wont need to make an appointment with your dentist. Nobody expects you to chew on china or sink your teeth into a styrofoam plate.
At Boudin chowder and chili are served in bread bowls. These bowls are specially baked breads. They are hollow inside and have plenty of room for at least one serving its actually enough to share or stew. You do actually get a plate to put your bowl on and I am disappointed to say that you cant eat the plate. But the bowl is very edible and quite tasty.
Many restaurants in the world serve bread along with stews. But at Boudin you get the stew in the bread. This twist doesnt just provide an immeasurable amount of entertainment especially for kids and notquitegrownups like myself. It also allows the bread to soak in some of the stews flavor.
So if you make it to Fishermans Wharf around eating time have some chowder. Or chili. And then eat the bowl!
