do u know that Shangri La is actually a place?

per Wikipedia, apparently Shangri La started as a mythical place mentioned in some angmoh's book. then some other angmoh explorers who explored the exotic areas of Tibet and China also hailed such a place. that was back in early 1900s.

then Tibet, Yunnan, Nepal, Bhutan started to claim that Shangri La is located in their country. until 2001, a part of Yunnan officially named itself Shangri La County.

yeps so my sudden interest in Shangri La was after i watched this movie by Sammi Cheng and Louis Koo.

LOL what else do u expect from a couch potato.

apparently the movie is filmed in Shangri La, and i thought the location was beautiful and romantic.

i dont understand Sammi Cheng's hair for the first half of the movie though. she looked like she's wearing a black mop on her head. LOL~

and Louis Koo was sporting that fugly beard almost 80% of the time in the movie. eugh~

then i went to google actual images of Shangri La....

hmm but like not as beautiful and romantic as in the feel in the movie. haha. it's a place i think will be cool to go but i wont be keen to go cuz i dont tink i can stand the extreme cold and thin air.

let me know how its like if u've been there before! hehe~
