Everything is ok, even if Louis-Philippe is weak and ill affected by a massive stomac-ache. They already are missing the beautiful mountains and the nice nepalese people, and living again in a big city is not an easy task, especially after one month of great adventures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The very good news is they love chocolate more than before their departure...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The mission is not over yet however, there's still the entire planet who has to know about the Nepal Mobile Hospital project and donations are still required. The team will focus during the next months on making the project known and also try to convince future expeditions in Nepal to raise funds for the Nepal Mobile Hospital.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;More photos and videos will come soon, stay tuned !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And if you have time or good connections, please download the project brochure in the 'project' section/menu and sent it !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;: L'équipe est arrivée en Belgique! Tout va bien, même si Louis-Philippe est faible et fortement malade au ventre. Les splendides montagnes et l'accueillant peuple népalais leur manque déjà. Il faut s'habituer à vivre dans une grande ville de nouveau et ce n'est pas une mince affaire après un mois de formidables aventures.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La très bonne nouvelle est qu'ils aiment le chocolat plus qu'avant leur départ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La mission n'est quand à elle pas encore terminée, car le monde doit encore connaître le projet de l'hôpital mobile du Nepal et des dons sont nécessaires. L'équipe va continuer pendant les mois prochains à faire connaître le projet et essayer de convaincre des futures expéditions au Népal à collecter des fonds pour&amp;nbsp;l'hôpital mobile du Nepal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;D'autres photos et vidéos à venir, restez branchés !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Et si vous avez du temps et des contacts utiles, merci de télécharger la plaquette du projet dans la section/menu "project" et envoyez !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-6845220066683098344?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/6845220066683098344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/05/just-arrived.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/6845220066683098344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/6845220066683098344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/05/just-arrived.html' title='Just arrived !'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-5338688853351606088</id><published>2009-05-08T23:27:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:46:52.820+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>On the way back</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgSlhNELLhI/AAAAAAAAAr0/P-XX25V2A04/s1600-h/norbert+and+ang+puri+sherpa.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333569848574946834" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgSlhNELLhI/AAAAAAAAAr0/P-XX25V2A04/s200/norbert+and+ang+puri+sherpa.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 133px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgSlpBN9OwI/AAAAAAAAAr8/MzKt0_4lPX4/s1600-h/lpl+today+just+b4+namshe.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333569982833703682" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgSlpBN9OwI/AAAAAAAAAr8/MzKt0_4lPX4/s200/lpl+today+just+b4+namshe.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 133px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgSlx9nrkvI/AAAAAAAAAsE/PGCkBWb-Xis/s1600-h/jo+confident.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333570136486679282" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgSlx9nrkvI/AAAAAAAAAsE/PGCkBWb-Xis/s200/jo+confident.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 132px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;: The three Choc Sherpas are now on the way back to Belgium. As they are still thinking about their fabulous days at the Base Camp and about the chocolate tasting, they took the road again to reach Kathmandu. On the way Louis-Philippe was interviewed by a Brazilian TV team, which was turning a kind of adventure series.&amp;nbsp;Now they are happy to meet again the great team of Yatri Tours that helped a lot in the expedition and they are preparing their return.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Les trois Choc Sherpas sont maintenant sur le chemin du retour pour la Belgique. Tandis qu’ils pensaient encore à leurs merveilleux jours passés au Camp de Base et à la dégustation, ils ont pris le chemin de Katmandou.

And we're on our way back (now in Namche Bazaar, tomorrow, Lukla probably to get our plane on 8/5) to Kathmandu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Norbert has been altitude-sick at the wrong moment and he turned back two hours away from the Base Camp. It was a safe decision, and Joseph and I have been expected him on the day after and went back on the 2 of May to Gorak Shep to wait for him, doing the Kala Pattar underway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On the 2-3-4 of May I passed around expeditions team, met people from Discovery Channel, &lt;a href="http://www.himex.com/english/home.htm"&gt;Himex&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/home.jsp?siteId=2"&gt;First Ascent&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://7summits.com/"&gt;7 summits&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.supersherpas.com/"&gt;Asian Trekking (Apa Sherpa)&lt;/a&gt;, adventure consultants and &lt;a href="http://www.mountainguides.com/"&gt;IMG &lt;/a&gt;where I discussed with an &lt;a href="http://onorbit.com/"&gt;astronaut&lt;/a&gt;. He knew Nasa doing tests in the Simpson desert and was impressed by my walk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But most of all each time I took the liberty to speak about our cause: the Nepal Mobile Hospital. And for the climbers I explained how having some &lt;a href="http://www.acticoa.com/"&gt;Acticoa &lt;/a&gt;chocolate could be a plus for their summit day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On the biggest tasting day (03/05) I was sick as I vomited everything I ate, and on the 4th I felt better and could finally film the last bit of tasting. We left EBC around noon and pushed hard to Pheriche arriving at 7pm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This morning it was Joseph's turn to be sick. We use walkie-talkies to keep in touch when walking. But I had to be in Namche for some photos. I'll sleep high (for reception) in the tent tonight above Namche and will leave the sat phone on for any interview. Joseph is not too far from Namche and he should make it by noon tomorrow; if not, I go back and get him. I'm very careful with the food now, eating just packs of noodles. I just hope we might all the 3 of us be reunited tomorrow in Lukla or the day after.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We hope all people reading this blog will forward it to their friends and hopefully do a donation for the Nepal Mobile Hospital.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBisDJKjfI/AAAAAAAAArs/bExxKHil7OI/s1600-h/our+sherpa+giving+choc+to+other+sherpa.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332370467704180210" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBisDJKjfI/AAAAAAAAArs/bExxKHil7OI/s200/our+sherpa+giving+choc+to+other+sherpa.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; width: 132px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Comme vous le savez maintenant, nous avons réussi notre défi qui consistait à rejoindre le Camp de Base de l’Everest depuis Katmandou. Nous sommes maintenant sur le chemin du retour (aujourd’hui à Namche Bazaar, demain à Lukla pour prendre normalement notre avion le 8/05) pour Katmandou.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Norbert a été malade au mauvais moment et il a du redescendre à deux heures du Camp de Base.

Joseph et moi l’avons attendu le lendemain et nous sommes retournés le 2 mai à Gorak Shep pour l’attendre, faisant le Kala Pattar en chemin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Les 2, 3 et 4 mai, j’ai rencontré les expéditions sur place, les gens de Discovery Channel, &lt;a href="http://www.himex.com/english/home.htm" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Himex&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/home.jsp?siteId=2" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;First Ascent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://7summits.com/" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;7 summits,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.supersherpas.com/" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Asian Trekking (Apa Sherpa)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, des consultants et des gens de l’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mountainguides.com/" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;IMG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt; dont un astronaute.  Il savait que la Nasa faisait des tests dans le désert de Simpson et a été impressionné par la traversée.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mais surtout, à chaque fois, j’ai pris le temps de parler de notre cause: l’Hôpital Mobile du Népal. Aux grimpeurs, j’ai expliqué de quelle manière avoir du chocolat &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.acticoa.com/" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Acticoa &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pouvait être un plus pour leurs ascensions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le jour majeur de la dégustation (03/05), j’ai été malade et j’ai vomi tout ce que j’avalais. Le 4 je me suis senti mieux et j’ai pu filmer la dernière partie de la dégustation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;Nous avons quitté le Camp de Base aux alentours de midi et avons marché à un rythme soutenu pour arriver à Pheriche vers 19h.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;Ce matin ça été au tour de Joseph de tomber malade. Nous utilisons des talkie-walkies pendant la marche pour rester en contact. Mais il fallait que je sois à Namche pour faire des photos. Je vais dormir en hauteur (pour la réception du satellite) dans la tente ce soir aux alentours de Namche et je vais laisser le téléphone satellite ouvert pour des interviews. Joseph n’est plus très loin et il devrait me rejoindre d’ici demain midi, sinon, j’irai le récupérer. Je suis très prudent avec la nourriture maintenant et je n’avale que des nouilles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nous devrions être réunis tous les trois demain ou après-demain à Lukla. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;

On the 3rd and 4th of May, after many adventures the team organised the highest Belgian chocolate tasting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There were really happy and relieved to see how the tasting was going on, even if Louis-Philippe was sick a part of the day. Joseph did a great job, distributing dozens kilograms of chocolate! That is the power of a team and that is something they learned during this adventure. They found a strategic place to organize the tasting and meet many people, all very concentrated on the trek.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In two days they distributed 100 kg of good chocolate and presented the Nepal Mobile Hospital project. Everyone agreed on the necessity of such a Hospital.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Louis-Philippe felt soon better and they went to the Kala Patar. There, they were interviewed by the team of &lt;a href="http://www.montagna.tv/"&gt;Montagna TV&lt;/a&gt; (Italian Mountaineering TV).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;They met &lt;a href="http://www.supersherpas.com/"&gt;Apa Sherpa&lt;/a&gt;, who is attempting to summit the Everest for the 19th time! As usual his wife doesn’t know he will attempt…She only discovers it when he goes back home, Apa said with humor to the team. A beautiful moment with a great Nepalese climber!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;They constantly had a though for Norbert, enduring the altitude sickness and was unfortunately forced to walk down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBOyygO8GI/AAAAAAAAAqs/SvBHxquVCFU/s1600-h/lpl.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332348593264062562" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBOyygO8GI/AAAAAAAAAqs/SvBHxquVCFU/s200/lpl.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 200px; width: 132px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBOgSJ_F4I/AAAAAAAAAqc/kofcXO3pV3c/s1600-h/degu1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332348275343169410" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBOgSJ_F4I/AAAAAAAAAqc/kofcXO3pV3c/s200/degu1.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 133px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Le jour “J” est enfin arrivé ! Le 3 et 4 mai, après de nombreuses aventures l’équipe a organisé la plus haute dégustation de chocolat Belge au monde. Ils ont été heureux et soulagés de voir la façon dont s’est passé la dégustation, même si Louis-Philippe a été malade une partie de la journée.  Joseph a fait un excellent travail en distribuant des dizaines de kilos de chocolat ! C’est la force d’une équipe et c’est aussi ce qu’ils ont appris pendant cette aventure. Ils ont trouvé une place stratégique pour organiser la dégustation est ont rencontré beaucoup de monde, tous très concentrés sur leur trek. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;En deux jours ils ont distribué 100 kg de chocolat et présenté le projet de l’Hôpital Mobile du Népal. Tous s’accordent sur la nécessité de créer un tel hôpital. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lorsque Louis-Philippe s’est senti mieux ils ont grimpé au Kala Patar. Là-bas, ils ont été interviewés par l’équipe de &lt;a href="http://www.montagna.tv/"&gt;Montagna TV&lt;/a&gt; (une télévision de montagne italienne). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ils ont rencontré &lt;a href="http://www.supersherpas.com/"&gt;Apa Sherpa&lt;/a&gt;, qui va tenter sa 19ème ascension ! Comme d’habitude, sa femme n’est au courant de rien…Elle découvre la surprise une fois son mari redescendu, a confié avec humour Apa à l’équipe. Un magnifique moment avec un grand grimpeur Népalais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ils ont constamment eu une pensée pour Norbert, qui, victime du mal d’altitude, a été obligé de redescendre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBLyvIrimI/AAAAAAAAAp8/KhYboDLTLWM/s1600-h/choc+in+mouth.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332345293825084002" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBLyvIrimI/AAAAAAAAAp8/KhYboDLTLWM/s200/choc+in+mouth.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 132px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBLt07A6iI/AAAAAAAAAp0/Mlcqo2rDkXE/s1600-h/banner+in+front+of+pumori+mont.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332345209479031330" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBLt07A6iI/AAAAAAAAAp0/Mlcqo2rDkXE/s200/banner+in+front+of+pumori+mont.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 132px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-621919046221963429?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/621919046221963429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/05/highest-chocolate-tasting.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/621919046221963429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/621919046221963429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/05/highest-chocolate-tasting.html' title='The Highest Chocolate Tasting !'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBTFYK44ZI/AAAAAAAAArM/vUiPKfijM1w/s72-c/p2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-8616350642045958203</id><published>2009-05-01T15:59:00.013+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:45:10.301+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>The Base Camp (5350m)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBKtWLJFBI/AAAAAAAAApk/AwO5AEWw2rQ/s1600-h/EverestBaseCamp.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332344101713548306" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBKtWLJFBI/AAAAAAAAApk/AwO5AEWw2rQ/s200/EverestBaseCamp.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 133px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBKx0l-kyI/AAAAAAAAAps/RdxhpqG6SfU/s1600-h/Tent+Wechsel.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332344178598646562" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBKx0l-kyI/AAAAAAAAAps/RdxhpqG6SfU/s200/Tent+Wechsel.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 132px; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;: After a 20 days trek across Nepal carrying more than 100 kg of chocolate, multiple high passes and despite difficult conditions the team finally reached the Everest Base Camp on the 1st of May. The Base Camp is amazing, a true ant hill, many mountaineers. The weather is cold and they even had a short snowfall before the arrival. They had the chance to contemplate for a short time the roof of the world. After installing the tent they started talking with people around them, explaining the reason of their long walk from Kathmandu. They met alpinists and started gathering some news about the current expeditions which will be summiting the Everest. Of course the name of some famous climbers like Ed Viesturs are on all lips. The word began to spread about a Belgian team bringing chocolate from Kathmandu to support the project of a mobile hospital. Funny idea but beautiful project!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No doubt that the Base Camp and the Khumbu Ice Fall will do a perfect frame for the highest chocolate tasting in the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBJqbTrB-I/AAAAAAAAAo0/2nN7z7oysI8/s1600-h/Avalanche+on+khumbu+icefall.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332342952040269794" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBJqbTrB-I/AAAAAAAAAo0/2nN7z7oysI8/s200/Avalanche+on+khumbu+icefall.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 132px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Après un trek de 20 jours à travers le Népal en portant plus de 100 kg de chocolat, p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;assant de hauts cols et malgré les difficiles conditions, l'équipe est finalement arrivée au Camp de Base de l'Everest ce 1er mai. Le Camp de Base est incroyable une vraie fourmilière avec de nombreux alpinistes. Le temps est froid et ils ont même eu une petite chute de neige avant leur arrivée. Ils ont eu la chance de contempler le toit du monde durant un court moment. Après avoir installé la tente, ils ont commencé à parler aux gens autour d'eux et expliquer la raison de leur longue marche depuis Katmandou. Ils ont rencontré des alpinistes et commencé à récolter de l'information sur les expéditions qui préparent l'ascension de l'Everest. Les noms d'alpinistes fameux comme Ed Viesturs sont bien sûr sur toutes les lèvres. Le mot commence à se répandre qu'une expédition Belge est partie de Katmandou pour soutenir le projet de création d'un hôpital mobile avec comme objectif la plus haute dégustation du monde. Une idée insolite mais une belle idée!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Il ne fait aucun doute que le Camp de Base et la cascade de glace du Khumbu vont faire un cadre magnifique pour la plus haute dégustation de chocolat du monde!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-8616350642045958203?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/8616350642045958203/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/05/base-camp-5350m.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/8616350642045958203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/8616350642045958203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/05/base-camp-5350m.html' title='The Base Camp (5350m)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SgBKtWLJFBI/AAAAAAAAApk/AwO5AEWw2rQ/s72-c/EverestBaseCamp.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-1951113069897358802</id><published>2009-04-30T11:32:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:46:33.670+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Step by step</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SflyAgM1P2I/AAAAAAAAAok/fwfdUf6WkDk/s1600-h/moutainview.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330416986939015010" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SflyAgM1P2I/AAAAAAAAAok/fwfdUf6WkDk/s200/moutainview.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 132px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;: the team is heading for the Base Camp. Since two days they have reduced their pace and only walk few hours a day to prevent the high altitude sickness. They reached passes at 4900 meters but slept always lower. For the moment they follow the planning and apart from some few headaches their bodies seems to progressively feet onto the altitude (an undiscovered quality of the chocolate?).

They were invited to a ceremony by the monks and spent good time drinking tea with them. Later Louis-Philippe met a French engineer who went down from the base camp. He gave lots of details about the base camp and it seems that all the alpinists’ teams are still there. The base camp is like an ant-hill theses days.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Après leur marche et leur dégustation quotidienne à Tengboche, l’équipe a visité le splendide monastère sur la montagne qui surplombe le village.

Plus tard, Louis-Philippe a rencontré un ingénieur français descendant du camp de base. Ce dernier lui a donné de nombreux détails sur la vie du camp en ce moment et il semble que les équipes d’alpinistes soient toujours au pied de l’Everest.

They easily found Joseph healthy and ready to start the next step to the Base Camp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since the beginning they learned a lot about the Himalaya, the most mythic Mountains in the world. The house of snows (in Sanskrit, Him = snow and alaya = house), which is more than 2400km’s long and covers an area of more than 600,000km². It crosses five countries: India, Pakistan, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. There are many ethnic groups influenced, but not only, by Hinduism and Buddhism. This mosaic of cultures and traditions prevents any generalisation on the people living in the regions: in Nepal, between 24 and 100 different languages and dialects are coexisting…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Each day gives them the opportunity to meet people and learn about this fascinating place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVl8AfQ55I/AAAAAAAAAoE/Nw9wOplK0NA/s1600-h/Girl+eating+chocolate.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329277815660537746" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVl8AfQ55I/AAAAAAAAAoE/Nw9wOplK0NA/s200/Girl+eating+chocolate.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 133px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Toute l'équipe s'est retrouvée à Lukla! Après une partie difficile (environ 1500 m de dénivellé dans la journée) Louis-Philippe et Norbert ont finalement atteint Lukla. Ils ont facilement retrouvé Joseph en pleine forme prêt à attaquer la nouvelle étape en direction du camp de base.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Depuis le départ, ils ont beaucoup appris sur l’Himalaya, la chaîne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; de montagne la p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;lus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; mythique au monde.

They had to pass two very difficult mountains loading and unloading the sherpa trek because of the numerous rocks on the track and the weight they are carrying. The highest peak was around 2800 meters and it took 14 hours to reach their goal. Now they sleep in Deohari. According to locals this part of the trek is much more difficult than the part from Lukla to the Base Camp. Hoping they are right…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Cette journée a été épuisante pour nos Chocolate Sherpa ! Ils ont eu à passer deux cols difficiles en chargeant et déchargeant les sherpa trek à cause des nombreux rochers et passages difficiles sur le chemin et le poids qu’ils ont à porter. Le plus haut col était à une hauteur de 2800 mètres environ et il leur a fallu 14 heures de marche pour atteindre leur but. Ils dorment à présent à Deohari. Si l’on en croît les gens sur place, cette partie du trek est plus difficile que celle qui va de Lukla vers le Camp de Base.

The entire village already heard about a crazy Belgian adventurer arrival and Norbert did not have to wait a long time before they met each other. LouPhi was blocked two days ago by 40 Nepalese at the sunset. They did not want to let him continue his walk during the night arguing the bad weather, then the night fall and finally some tigers! Finally LouPhi decided to stay because he had no choice. What was the right reason? He is still wondering…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Norbert and Louis-Philippe had some rest and prepare the next steps of the adventure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Unfortunately Joseph did not succeed to join them in time. The troubles and strikes on the way to Jiri made the transport too random. They decided to meet in Lukla in few days. During this time Joseph is still training, trekking and meeting local people to gather information on the way they live.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;: Louis-Philippe a atteint Jiri hier aux environs de midi. Tout le village avait déjà entendu parler de l’arrivée d’un aventurier belge un peu loufoque et Norbert n’a pas eu longtemps à attendre avant qu’ils ne se retrouvent. LouPhi a été bloqué il y a deux jours par 40 népalais à la sortie d’un village au coucher du soleil. Ils ne voulaient pas le laisser continuer sa marche arguant le mauvais temps, puis la tombée de la nuit et enfin la présence de tigres ! Finalement LouPhi a décider de passer là nuit là parce qu’il n’avait pas vraiment d’autre choix. Quelle était la vrai raison ? Il se le demande encore…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Norbert et Louis-Philippe ont pris un peu de repos et on préparé les prochaines étapes de l’aventure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Malheureusement, Joseph n’a pas réussi à les rejoindre à temps. Les troubles locaux et les grèves sur la route qui mène à Jiri ont rendu le transport trop aléatoire. Ils ont décidés de se retrouver plus loin à Lukla dans quelques jours. Pendant ce temps, Joseph continue à s’acclimater, à randonner et à rencontrer des népalais pour comprendre leur mode de vie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-5886049764086359665?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/5886049764086359665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/04/reunion-in-jiri.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/5886049764086359665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/5886049764086359665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/04/reunion-in-jiri.html' title='Reunion in Jiri'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-2787706631027022777</id><published>2009-04-17T14:05:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:49:48.850+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Close to Jiri</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVgHD4Bb0I/AAAAAAAAAl0/cgQ1MHHWkGA/s1600-h/Norbert+at+police+checkpoint.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="Norbet at Jiri police checkpoint" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVgHD4Bb0I/AAAAAAAAAl0/cgQ1MHHWkGA/s200/Norbert+at+police+checkpoint.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 133px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;: This last two days have been exhausting but full of meetings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This morning, Louis-Philippe wanted to grant him a late sleep by waking up at 4 a.m (instead of 3a.m since the begining). When he woke up to leave, the gate of the garden where he slept had been closed. As he had closed his door with keys inside, he was blocked in the courtyard. So he finally slept one hour more in a open room before the gate reopened and starting his walk again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The typical day starts around 4a.m with a walk during the short time where the weather is still fresh. Then he takes several short breaks and he can thus start a short tasting with locals. Ascent of passes are hard. At the end of the day, generous inhabitants invite him to have a tea and sometimes offers him hospitality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Chocolate is distributed along the road as foreseen. Yesterday, LouPhi, stoped in the middle of a small village to improvise a tasting. The first two minutes he managed to maintain some order in front of the table where was the chocolate, then...everybody rushed on chocolate!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;People are very curious to see someone walking on this part of the road usually not used by trekkers and its favorises beautiful meetings and many discussions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No more than 30 km before Jiri and the start for the roof of the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The rest of the team has to face with local constaints of tranport (strikes, and so on) but the moral is still high.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ces deux derniers jours ont été éprouvants mais incroyablement riches en rencontres. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ce matin, Louis-Philippe a voulu s'accorder une grasse matinée en se levant à 4h du matin (au lieu des 3h habituels &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;depuis le départ !). Lorsqu'il s'est levé pour partir, le portail du jardin dans lequel il dormait était fermée.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Comme il avait refermée la porte avec les clefs à l'intérieur, il s'est retrouvé coincé dans la cour. Il a finalement dormi une heure supplémentaire dans une pièce ouverte avant de se faire ouvrir le portail et reprendre la route...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La journée type commence donc vers 4h du matin avec une marche à la fraîche entrecoupée de courtes pauses qui donnent lieu à une petite degustation avec la population. Les ascensions de cols sont particulièrement difficiles. En fin de journée, les habitants, généreux proposent de venir prendre un thé et parfois offrent l'hospitalité. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le chocolat est distribué comme prévu le long de la route. Hier, LouPhi s'arrête au milieu d'un village pour improviser une dégustation. Les deux premières minutes, il a réussi à maintenir un semblant d'ordre devant la table ou était le chocolat... puis tout le monde s'est rué sur les chocolat! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La population est très curieuse de voir marcher quelqu'un sur cette partie de la route habituellement délaissée des trekkeurs ce qui favorise de belles rencontres et de nombreux échanges. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Plus qu'une trentaine de kilomètres avant Jiri et le départ vers le toit du monde... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le reste de l'équipe est un peu soumise aux contraintes de transport (grèves, etc) du pays mais le moral reste bon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-2787706631027022777?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/2787706631027022777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/04/close-to-jiri.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2787706631027022777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2787706631027022777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/04/close-to-jiri.html' title='Close to Jiri'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVgHD4Bb0I/AAAAAAAAAl0/cgQ1MHHWkGA/s72-c/Norbert+at+police+checkpoint.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-2772176935494167489</id><published>2009-04-14T17:56:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:50:21.308+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>On the road</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVg4oVuxPI/AAAAAAAAAmE/804LXRF8FUI/s1600-h/DSC_0081%5B1%5D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="LouPhi walking in KTM" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SfVg4oVuxPI/AAAAAAAAAmE/804LXRF8FUI/s200/DSC_0081%5B1%5D.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 134px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;: The team started his walk yesterday around noon.

So… do not miss the pleasure of a good chocolate…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bbcw.be/" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Best Belgian Chocolate of the World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (BBCW) est une jeune asbl qui entend promouvoir le savoir faire des maîtres chocolatiers belges mariant tradition et excellence et s’engageant à respecter des valeurs morales et critères de qualité précis.

Their chocolate is sold to craftsmen and producers of end consumer goods around the world. Now the company joins the expedition and so their chocolate will be distributed on the roof of the world during an amazing tasting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Chocolate is not only tasty but has also interesting nutritional properties like magnesium; an element that Nepalese lack in their daily diet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The strength of Barry Callebaut lies in innovative products. They developed the first sugar-containing chocolate to fulfill the tooth friendly criteria. It has been granted the recognized ‘Happy Tooth’ quality seal. Eating chocolate with this label means no risk for tooth decay. But we’ll distribute the new ACTICOA™ chocolate, which is the result of a special process that retains the very high levels of naturally occurring active cocoa flavanols (antioxidants) in the cocoa bean - compared to classic chocolate that’s three times more!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The health benefits strengthen and protect the body and mind. Strengthen natural defenses, helps for a better cholesterol level and better blood circulation. It boosts cerebral activity, hence the memory, and makes the skin supple to look younger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And at 17.550 ft where sherpas and mountaineers prepare the ascent of Mt Everest, they’ll certainly need these chocolate benefits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Barry Callebaut est le leader mondial des fabricants de produits chocolatés de qualité supérieure, depuis la fève de cacao jusqu’à la tablette de chocolat. Leur chocolat est vendu aux artisans et producteur de produits finis dans le monde entier. Et maintenant en se joignant à l’expédition, leur chocolat sera distribué sur le toit du monde pour une dégustation exceptionnelle.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Le chocolat est un très bon produit non seulement par son goût mais aussi par ses qualités nutritives et apporte par exemple du magnésium. Elément en carence dans l’alimentation des Népalais.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;La force de Barry Callebaut est dans l’innovation. Dernièrement ils ont développé un chocolat bon pour les dents qui ne cause pas de caries. Il a le label ‘Happy Tooth’. Mais c’est du chocolat ACTICOA™  que nous allons distribuer le plus. Ce chocolat est le résultat d’un processus de fabrication qui garde une très haute teneur en antioxydants. Par rapport au chocolat standard, il en contient trois fois plus! Il a donc des propriétés bénéfiques sur l'entretient des défenses naturelles, sur le cholestérol et la circulation sanguine. Il dope l’activité cérébrale, et donc la mémoire, et assouplit la peau pour avoir un effet de jeunesse.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Et à l’altitude de 5350m, les sherpas et alpinistes qui préparent l’ascension du Mont Everest auront certainement besoin de ce chocolat bénéfique.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-4340041235180468171?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/4340041235180468171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/04/barry-callebaut-acticoa.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4340041235180468171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4340041235180468171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/04/barry-callebaut-acticoa.html' title='Barry Callebaut ACTICOA'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SdSTBdEcz6I/AAAAAAAAAj0/PiJWZZwsgDA/s72-c/Barry-Callebaut.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-260783330301388774</id><published>2009-03-29T20:15:00.017+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:56:07.886+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sponsors'/><title type='text'>Vest and Jackets</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Sc-73cP1rCI/AAAAAAAAAjk/pELUqijxGOo/s1600-h/patagonia-jacket-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318676246097669154" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Sc-73cP1rCI/AAAAAAAAAjk/pELUqijxGOo/s200/patagonia-jacket-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 126px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Sc-72qyO4eI/AAAAAAAAAjc/d1aBNtp5cfc/s1600-h/patagonia-jacket.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318676232820154850" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Sc-72qyO4eI/AAAAAAAAAjc/d1aBNtp5cfc/s200/patagonia-jacket.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 144px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ENG: And here's what we'll look like in Nepal.

We went testing the sherpa-trek and for sure people were curious. We also received our &lt;a href="http://www.wilsa-sport.com/"&gt;Wilsa sleeping bags&lt;/a&gt;. And currently I don't want to show photos of us inside as I can't bear staying in it more than 30 seconds as it's really warm. The &lt;a href="http://www.sherpa-trek.eu/"&gt;Sherpa-trek&lt;/a&gt; works well, pushing or pulling it. We also started some training I personally need to get quickly into shape so I passed 2 long hours running pulled by my roommate's Jack Russell and then carrying treelogs to strengthen my upper body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;: On a testé le matériel ce weekend. Les passants étaient curieux en voyant le sherpa-trek. Nous avons nos &lt;a href="http://www.wilsa-sport.com/"&gt;duvets Wilsa&lt;/a&gt; mais pas de photo pour l'instant car franchement je ne tiens pas plus de 30 secondes dedans car la chaleur qu'il procure est intense.

The idea being that it might not be so warm after the winter, or that the monsoon might be on its way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Early May at EBC is the peak period of the year to attempt to summit the Everest so that's why we go at that time. The real question is why do mountaineers climb at this time of the year ? A small look at the weather chart image left (click to enlarge) and you'll get it: wind and temperature are not the best, just average. Daylight is ok but what matters is humidity: it's just before the monsoon so the probability of snowfall is smaller. In one word: the best period means for a safer climb. October-November being the 2nd best period but with more wind and less daylight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;(source BAD chart: &lt;a href="http://www.explorersweb.com/news.php?id=17891"&gt;Explorersweb&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;FRA:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Récemment, des amis nous ont demandé pourquoi nous partons en avril-mai. L'idée étant qu'il puisse encore faire froid au sortir de l'hiver, ou que la mousson puisse déjà pointer le bout de son nez...&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au début du mois de mai, le trafic au Camp de Base de l'Everest connaît un pic, dû au "créneau" climatique favorable à l'ascension. Nous nous devrons donc d'être présent à cette période. La vraie question est de savoir pourquoi les alpinistes grimpent à ce moment-là. Un bref coup d'oeil au graphique ci-dessus (cliquer pour agrandir) permet d'y répondre: vent et température ne sont pas au top, mais juste bien. La luminosité n'est pas trop mauvaise non plus, mais le plus important, c'est l'humidité. La mousson approchant, le risque de chutes de neige est réduit. En un mot: la meilleure période pour des conditions optimales d'ascension. Octobre-Novembre est le second "créneau", avec plus de vent, et moins de luminosité.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-1862266222951818684?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/1862266222951818684/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/02/everest-climate_24.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/1862266222951818684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/1862266222951818684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/02/everest-climate_24.html' title='Everest climate'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SaFM3UPUZ-I/AAAAAAAAAVg/WT2XzxUY_hU/s72-c/everest-weather-expedition.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-2090458672782176118</id><published>2009-02-22T13:06:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T17:58:35.540+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>1000 people in Everest Base Camp</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SaFASxATa6I/AAAAAAAAAVM/Jbd5PN1aR54/s1600-h/ChocolatLogo.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305592527155588002" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SaFASxATa6I/AAAAAAAAAVM/Jbd5PN1aR54/s200/ChocolatLogo.png" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 109px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; width: 140px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG&lt;/span&gt;: When you want to do a tasting, the first questions that come to mind are: How much chocolate per person and how many people will be there ? Well each year there's an estimation of between 500 to 1000 people. The max was reached in 2003 for the 50th anniversary of the first climb by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, topping out to 2000 people !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Did I ever mention that the &lt;a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;amp;objectid=10487079"&gt;first mountain Edmund climbed&lt;/a&gt; as teenager was Mount Ollivier ? Well it was my first real mountain in New Zealand too and my first mountaineering lesson as I removed my sunglasses on the top to prepare my Christmas dinner and became snow-blind the day after. Today I'm still sensitive to bright light so don't even try to get a photo of me with a flash, my eyes will close automatically.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But let's go back to our crowd estimation at EBC (Everest Base Camp). Alan Arnette, who is a very good source of Everest information wrote this week : "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This may be most famous base camp in the world. Each year on both side of Everest literally hundreds of people live for almost two months. This year the Nepal side will be extra crowded with teams that postponed their 2008 climbs until now.... Seriously, there is a lot of traffic coming through base camp. Not only do you have the climbers but porters are making daily trips to ferry gear and food in then the waste out. Trekkers by the hundreds make the trip to visit base camp after a Kala Patar summit. So it can be quite crowded and there is a lot of foot traffic. Oh, and I didn't even mention the yak traffic!&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To this info, add the fact that &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/tibet/4688657/China-closes-Tibet-to-foreigners.html"&gt;China's tourism board just announced they'll close Tibet&lt;/a&gt; for the next months as they fear some demonstrations for the 50th anniversary of the flee of the Dalai Lama.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So how many then? Well, I would be sure we'll be very close to 1000 people but I'm not gonna count. But I wanna give each of them around 100 grams so you now know why we want to bring 100 kg to EBC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Quand on organise une dégustation, les premières questions qui viennent à l'esprit sont "combien par personne?" et surtout "combien de personnes y aura-t-il?". Eh bien chaque année, on estime à entre 500 et 1000 personnes qui transittent par le pied de l'Everest, qu'ils soient de passage ou bien pour tenter l'ascension. Le maximum fut atteint en 2003 pour le 50ème anniversaire de la première ascension par Sir Edmund Hillary: 2000 personnes répondirent présentes à ce moment-là!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Vous ai-je jamais dit que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;amp;objectid=10487079" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;la première ascension d'Edmund&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, adolescent, était le Mont Ollivier? Il s'agit également de ma première "vraie" montagne, en Nouvelle Zélande. Ce fut aussi ma première leçon de trek en montagne: alors que je préparais mon repas de Noël au sommet, j'ai retiré mes lunettes de soleil, ce qui résulta en une cécité temporaire le jour d'après. Aujourd'hui, je suis sensible à la lumière du flash, donc n'essayez pas de me prendre en photo de trop près...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mais retournons à notre foule à EBC. Alan Arnette, une source très fiable pour les activités sur l'Everest, a écrit cette semaine: "&lt;/span&gt;Ceci pourrait être le camp de base le plus connu au monde. Chaque année, des deux côtés de l'Everest, des centaines de personnes prennent leurs quartiers pendant presque deux mois. Cette année, le côté népalais sera en plus fréquenté par les équipes qui ont du postposer leur ascension de 2008...Sérieusement, il y a énormément de trafic qui passe par le Camp de Base. Vous n'avez pas seulement des grimpeurs, mais également des porteurs qui font des allers-retours quotidiens pour apporter du matériel et de la nourriture et emporter les déchets. Des trekkers par centaines visitent enfin le Camp de Base après le sommet du Kala Patar. Ca peut parfois être très peuplé, non seulement par les bipèdes que nous sommes, mais aussi par les yaks!&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A cette information, il faut ajouter que l'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/tibet/4688657/China-closes-Tibet-to-foreigners.html" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Office du Tourisme chinois vient d'annoncer que le côté tibétain serait fermé&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; dans les prochains mois, par crainte de manifestations lors du 50ème anniversaire de la fuite du Dalai Lama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Au final? Je suis presque certain que nous approcherons le millier de personne, mais je ne vais pas compter. L'idée serait quand-même de donner 100 grammes de chocolat par personne, ce qui nous amène à nos quelques 100 kg à transporter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-2090458672782176118?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/2090458672782176118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/02/test.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2090458672782176118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2090458672782176118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/02/test.html' title='1000 people in Everest Base Camp'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SaFASxATa6I/AAAAAAAAAVM/Jbd5PN1aR54/s72-c/ChocolatLogo.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-8272716169232103431</id><published>2009-01-30T11:10:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T18:00:14.268+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Not just a Dream...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG:&lt;/span&gt; The preparation of a one month-trek in "the great outdoors" does not go without a healthy compensation, drinking a beer or a coktail in a crowded bar before isolating ourselves with...ourselves!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We put that in practice yesterday at the Brussels edition of the &lt;a href="http://www.dreamshake.com/"&gt;Dreamshake Aperos&lt;/a&gt;.

Images of Nepal became more and more concrete as his films and pictures went by!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We used a break to talk to him and explain our Master Plan: again, smiles soon arised on the faces of the people who surrounded him at the moment. But again also, these smiles quickly turned into serious looks (of concern about our mental health?) when we explained our cause and the way we considered this walk. Jean-Luc could give us some precious contacts of people who will help us!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Then, we did it! There's no turning back now: we bought our plane tickets!

L'occasion de concrétiser certaines images que nous avions déjà en tête du Népal. LouPhi et moi avons bien évidemment sauté sur Jean-Luc à l'entracte pour lui exposer notre Plan: des sourires sont très vites apparus sur les visages de la petite audience qui l'entourait à ce moment-là. Mais à nouveau, ces sourires se sont bien vite changés en regards sérieux ("mon Dieu, les pauvres nagent en plein délire!") quand nous avons expliqué notre cause et la manière dont nous envisagions cette longue marche. Jean-Luc a pu heureusement nous fournir quelques précieux contacts de gens qui pourront nous aider!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Je ne saurais terminer ce post sans cette info essentielle. Cette fois, ça y est, nous avons franchi le point de non-retour: nos billets d'avion ont été commandés! L'arrivée à Kathmandou est pévue pour le dimanche 12 avril, à 15:25 très précisément!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-7133368302170467981?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/7133368302170467981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/no-turning-back.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/7133368302170467981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/7133368302170467981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/no-turning-back.html' title='No turning back'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-4937865982743303690</id><published>2009-01-19T21:55:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T18:01:49.543+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Project is kicking off</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG:&lt;/span&gt; There are 2 mountains in front of us, Chocolate Sherpas; the Everest of course, and the amount of work to prepare this unusual expedition.

Cette structure mobile permettra de dispenser des soins dans les régions reculées.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LE PROJET HUMANITAIRE DE L’HOPITAL MOBILE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Après passé huit années de travail volontaire au service du Nepal Orthopaedic Hospital (Katmandou) et formé de jeunes chirurgiens népalais, un chirurgien belge et son ami népalais projettent aujourd’hui de mettre sur pied un hôpital mobile. Cet hôpital, facile à monter, démonter et transporter via camion ou hélicoptère, permettra à des praticiens de se rendre dans les endroits les plus reculés du Népal. Des camps de un mois permettront de soigner 5000 patients et d’en opérer 250. Cette structure pourrait se déplacer 8 à 10 fois par an. Le coût du matériel de base est estimé à € 250.000 et chaque mois de campagne à € 50.000.&lt;br /&gt;De nombreuses régions du Népal sont inaccessibles par la route ce qui complique à l’extrême l’accès au soin pour les populations pauvres vivant dans ces régions. Leur dénuement les empêche généralement de se rendre dans la capitale pour y recevoir des soins. Grâce à l’hôpital mobile, il sera possible d’apporter aux népalais une médecine générale et plus spécialisée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LE DEFI SPORTIF, HUMAIN et CULTUREL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L’équipe de Chocolate Sherpa va marcher pendant 400 km de Katmandou au camp de base de l’Everest en distribuant 200 kilos de chocolat. Cette longue marche sera l’occasion d’aller à la rencontre des Sherpas népalais et de partager des moments intenses avec les porteurs qui amènent l’équipement des trekkeurs du monde entier. Du chocolat sera distribué en cours de trajet afin de remercier de manière symbolique ces porteurs et Sherpas. Les 100 derniers kg seront distribués lors d’une dégustation unique à 5350m. A cette période, le camp de base est un village d’entre 500 et 1000 Sherpas et alpinistes venant de tous les continents pour gravir le toit du monde.&lt;br /&gt;L'expédition vise une large médiatisation à envergure mondiale pour satisfaire des sponsors privés (entreprises) en contrepartie de fonds pour le projet de l’hôpital. Les dons de particuliers souhaitant encourager l’équipe de Chocolate Sherpa à atteindre son but sont le deuxième moyen de récolte de fonds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-4826497943643464488?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/4826497943643464488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/lexpedition-sherpa-en-chocolat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4826497943643464488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4826497943643464488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/lexpedition-sherpa-en-chocolat.html' title='L&apos;expédition Chocolate Sherpa (FRA)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SZrUvq4o5II/AAAAAAAAAUw/AvnV6rY5fU0/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-2021343711609608124</id><published>2009-01-16T20:58:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T17:59:55.042+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Chocolate Sherpa expedition (ENG)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SZrTz82VaSI/AAAAAAAAAUg/955SB4oUohM/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SZrTz82VaSI/AAAAAAAAAUg/955SB4oUohM/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303784400642992418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"The highest chocolate tasting in the world to collect funds for a mobile hospital in Nepal"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/roumian/Mes%20documents/Exp%C3%A9/Chocolate%20Sherpa/Logo/Choc%20Sherpa%20logo%20petite%20taille%20fond%20blog%20copy.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/roumian/Mes%20documents/Exp%C3%A9/Chocolate%20Sherpa/Logo/Choc%20Sherpa%20logo%20petite%20taille%20fond%20blog%20copy.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THE PROJECT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com/"&gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke&lt;/a&gt;, the Belgian adventurer, is preparing his next expedition:&lt;br /&gt;A 400 km trek between Kathmandu and the Everest Base Camp (Nepal), to organize there the highest chocolate tasting in the world!&lt;br /&gt;It is a unique event with worldwide media coverage.&lt;br /&gt;And a Belgian story which will restore Belgium’s image in the world!&lt;br /&gt;The objective of Chocolate Sherpa is to collect funds for a Mobile Hospital in Nepal. This hospital will provide care and surgery to remote areas of Nepal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THE HUMANITARIAN PROJECT FOR THE HOSPITAL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After eight years spent to work as consultant for the Nepal Orthopaedic Hospital (Kathmandu) and training young Nepali surgeons, a Belgian surgeon and his Nepali friend, now plan to set up a mobile hospital. Such facility would be easily mounted, quickly dismounted and transported by truck or chopper and will allow the doctors to reach far remote places of Nepal. Campaigns lasting one month will enable to provide care to 5000 people and to provide medical surgery to 250. The basic equipment’s cost is estimated at 250 000 € and a one month campaign at 50 000€.&lt;br /&gt;Many regions of Nepal are inaccessible through roads and thus providing care in these poor areas is a complicated task. People are unable to reach the capital, because of the cost and time of such a travel. Thanks to the mobile hospital, it will be possible to provide general and specialized care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A SPORTIVE, HUMAN AND CULTURAL CHALLENGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The team of Chocolate Sherpa will walk 400 km from Kathmandu to the Everest Base Camp and distribute 200 kg of chocolate. This long walk will allow the team to meet the Sherpa population and share intense moments with those who have been carrying the equipment of westerners for decades. Chocolate will be offered during the trek to porters and Sherpas. The remaining 100 kg will be distributed during a unique chocolate tasting at 5350 meters. During this period of the year, the base camp is a village of between 500 and 1000 Sherpas and international mountaineers who are attempting to reach the summit of the roof of the world.&lt;br /&gt;The expedition targets worldwide media coverage to satisfy corporate sponsors that will donate funds for the mobile hospital. A second mean to collect funds is by private donations to encourage the Chocolate Sherpa team to reach their goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-2021343711609608124?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/2021343711609608124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-expedition_16.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2021343711609608124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2021343711609608124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-expedition_16.html' title='Chocolate Sherpa expedition (ENG)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SZrTz82VaSI/AAAAAAAAAUg/955SB4oUohM/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-6862553836075434873</id><published>2009-01-16T20:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T13:36:59.289+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Expeditie Chocolate Sherpa (NL)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWYfwYYhTI/AAAAAAAAAXg/7de-1qGPoho/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWYfwYYhTI/AAAAAAAAAXg/7de-1qGPoho/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311319006883906866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;« De hoogste chocoladeproeverij ter wereld om fondsen te zamelen en hiermee een mobiel hospitaal opzetten in Nepal »&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;HET PROJECT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke, de Belgische avonturier, is zijn volgende expeditie aan het voorbereiden:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Een 400 km lange trektocht tussen Kathmandu en de Basiskamp van de Mount Everest (Nepal), om daar de hoogste chocoladedegustatie ter wereld te organiseren!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Het is een uniek evenement, met interesse van de media in de hele wereld…en een Belgisch verhaal dat het beeld van België wat zal herstellen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Het doel van Chocolate Sherpa is om fondsen te zamelen voor het opzetten van een mobiel hospitaal in Nepal. Dit hospitaal zou medische hulp bezorgen aan Nepalezen in verafgelegen regio’s van de Himalaya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;HET HUMANITAIR PROJECT VOOR HET HOSPITAAL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Na 8 jaren te hebben doorgebracht en gewerkt als een consultant in de Nepal Orthopaedic Hospital (Kathmandu) and jonge Nepalese chirurgen te hebben getraind, hebben een Belgische orthopedist en zijn Nepalese collega het idee gehad om een mobiel hospitaal op te zetten. Dit hospitaal zou gemakkelijk zijn om te monteren, te ontmantelen en te vervoeren per vrachtwagen of helikopter; het zou dokters toelaten om tot in verafgelegen gebieden van Nepal medische zorg te brengen. Campagnes van één maand lang zouden het mogelijk maken om 5000 personen klinisch te verzorgen en 250 chirurgisch te behandelen. De kost voor de basisuitrusting wordt geschat aan € 250 000 en een maandelijkse campagne aan € 50 000.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Vele regio’s van Nepal zijn moeilijk te bereiken via wegen en dáár mensen gaan verzorgen is een ingewikkelde taak. Nepalezen kunnen de hoofdstad vaak niet bereiken omwille van de tijd en de kosten van het traject. Dankzij het mobiele hospitaal zal het mogelijk zijn om die mensen algemeen en gespecialiseerde medische hulp toe te brengen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;EEN SPORTIEVE, MENSELIJKE EN CULTURELE UITDAGING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Gedurende de 400 km die het team Chocolate Sherpa tussen Katmandu en de Everest Base Camp te voet zal afleggen zal er 200 kg chocolade uitgedeeld worden. Deze lange tocht zal voor het team een gelegenheid zijn om de Sherpa-bevolking te ontmoeten en intense momenten te beleven met díegenen die meer dan 50 jaar lang het expeditiemateriaal hebben gedragen van westerse bergbeklimmers. 100 kg chocolade zal worden uitgedeeld aan dragers, trekkers en Sherpas. De overige 100 kg zal worden uitgedeeld gedurende een unieke chocoladedegustatie aan de voet van de Everest (5350 m). In die periode van het jaar wordt de basiskamp van de Everest een dorp van 500 tot 1000 Sherpas en internationale bergbeklimmers, die de top van de wereld trachten te bereiken.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;De expeditie richt op media-aandacht in de hele wereld om optimale zichtbaarheid te bieden aan sponsors die geïnteresseerd zijn in het financieren van het mobiele hospitaal. Privé-schenkingen zijn een tweede manier om het project te steunen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-6862553836075434873?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/6862553836075434873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/de-hoogste-chocoladeproeverij-ter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/6862553836075434873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/6862553836075434873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/de-hoogste-chocoladeproeverij-ter.html' title='Expeditie Chocolate Sherpa (NL)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWYfwYYhTI/AAAAAAAAAXg/7de-1qGPoho/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-294594606146122850</id><published>2009-01-16T20:56:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T13:37:36.423+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Chocolate Sherpa (GER)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbgLePNTbSI/AAAAAAAAAXw/suBX7jAJ1Vk/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbgLePNTbSI/AAAAAAAAAXw/suBX7jAJ1Vk/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312008374589812002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;„Die höchstgelegene Schokoladenverkostung der Welt um Spenden für den Aufbau eines mobilen Krankenhauses in Nepal zu sammeln“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Das Projekt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke, ein belgischer Abenteurer, und sein Team bereiten ihre nächste Expedition vor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Einen 400 km Treck zwischen Kathmandu und dem Everest Basis Lager (Nepal), um dort die höchstgelegene Schokoladenverkostung der Welt zu organisieren!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Es ist ein einzigartiges Ereignis mit weltweiter Medienberichterstattung!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Und eine belgische Geschichte, die das Bild von Belgien in der Welt aufwerten wird!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Das Ziel von Chocolate Sherpa ist es, Spenden für ein mobiles Krankenhaus in Nepal zu sammeln.

Eine solche Einrichtung wäre leicht zu errichten, schnell abzubauen und mit einem LKW oder Hubschrauber zu transportieren, sodass sie den Ärzten die Möglichkeit bieten würde, weit abgelegene Orte Nepals zu erreichen. Während einer einmonatigen Campagne könnten 5000 Menschen medizinisch versorgt und 250 davon operiert werden. Das mobile Krankenhaus könnte 8-10 Mal pro Jahr den Ort wechseln. Die Grundausstattung kostet geschätzte 250 000 € und eine einmonatige Campagne ca. 50 000 €.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Viele Regionen Nepals sind über Straßen nicht zugänglich, was die medizinische Versorgung in diesen armen Gegenden extrem erschwert. Die Armut der Menschen hindert sie daran die Hauptstadt zu erreichen, um sich dort medizinisch behandeln zu lassen. Dank des mobilen Krankenhauses wird es möglich sein allgemeine und spezialisierte medizinische Versorgung zu gewährleisten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eine sportliche, menschliche und kulturelle Herausforderung&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Das Team von Chocolate Sherpa wird 400 km von Kathmandu zum Everest Basis Lager laufen und dabei 200 kg Schokolade verteilen. Dieser lange Weg wird es dem Team erlauben die nepalesischen Sherpa zu treffen und intensive Momente mit den Menschen zu teilen, die jahrzehntelang die Ausrüstung der Trecker aus der ganzen Welt getragen haben. Um sich bei den Trägern und Sherpas symbolisch zu bedanken, wird während des Trecks Schokolade verteilt. Die verbleibenden 100 kg werden während einer einmaligen Schokoladenverkostung auf 5350 m Höhe verteilt werden. Zu dieser Jahreszeit ist das Basislager ein Dorf von 500 bis 1000 Sherpas und Bergsteigern, die aus aller Welt anreisen, um das Dach der Welt zu erklimmen. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Die Expedition strebt weltweite Medienaufmerksamkeit an, um private Sponsoren (Firmen), die für das mobile Krankenhaus spenden, zufrieden zu stellen. Ein zweiter Weg der Spendensammlung sind private Spenden, die das Chocolate Sherpa Team  anspornen, ihr Ziel zu erreichen. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-294594606146122850?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/294594606146122850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-ger.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/294594606146122850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/294594606146122850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-ger.html' title='Chocolate Sherpa (GER)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbgLePNTbSI/AAAAAAAAAXw/suBX7jAJ1Vk/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-45159788189456885</id><published>2009-01-16T20:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T13:38:00.595+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Cholkad Sherpa Expedition (SWE)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWWH-WxIFI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/6SDHHyBKHd8/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWWH-WxIFI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/6SDHHyBKHd8/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311316399295111250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Världens högsta chokladprovning anordnas för att samla medel till ett mobilt sjukhus i Nepal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROJEKTET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke, den belgiska äventyraren, förbereder sin nästa expedition: &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;En 400 km lång vandring mellan Katmandu och Everest basstation (Nepal) för att hålla den högsta chokladprovningen i världen. Detta är ett unikt event med världsomspännande mediatäckning och ett äventyr som kommer sätta belgien på kartan. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Målet med choklad-sherpa är att samla medel till ett mobilt sjukhus i Nepal. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Sjukhuset kommer tillhandahålla vård och operationer åt avlägsna delar av Nepal. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DET HUMANITÄRA PROJEKTET FÖR SJUKHUSET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;En belgisk kirurg och hans Nepalesiska vän planerar att starta ett mobilt sjukhus efter att ha jobbat som konsulter åt Nepal Orthopaedic Hospital (Katmandu) och tränat unga Nepalesiska kirurger i åtta år. Det mobila sjukhuset kommer vara lätt att montera, snabbt att avmontera och transporteras med lastbil eller helikopter vilket gör det möjligt för läkarna att nå avlägsna platser i Nepal. En månadslång kampanj beräknas ge vård åt 5000 personer och kirurgi åt 250. Kostnaden för den grundläggande utrustningen uppskattas vara € 250 000 och för en månadslång kampanj € 50 000. Många regioner i Nepal är inte tillgängliga via väg och att tillhandahålla vård i dessa delar är svårt. Personer kan inte nå sjukhusen i huvudstaden på grund av kostnaden och tiden det tar att resa från dessa otillgängliga platser. Tack vare det mobila sjukhuset kommer det vara möjligt att ge grundläggande och mer specialiserad vård i dessa områden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;EN SPORTIG OCH KULTURELL UTMANING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choklad-sherpa gruppen kommer gå de 400 kilometerna från Katmandu till Mount Everest basstation och dela ut 200 kilo choklad. Den långa vandringen kommer ge gruppen möjlighet att träffa Sherpa befolkningen och utbyta erfarenheter med de som har burit utrustning till västerlänningar i årtionden. Det kommer erbjudas choklad till bärare och Sherpas under vandringen. De 100 kilo choklad som återstår i slutet kommer delas ut under en chokladprovning på 530 meters höjd. Under den tiden på året finns det mellan 500 till 1000 sherpas och internationella bergsklättrare vid Mount Everest basstation. Expeditionen planerar för världsomspännande mediabevakning för att tillfredsställa de företag som sponsrar det mobila sjukhuset. Ett andra sätt bidra är genom privata donationer för att uppmundra choklad-sherpa gruppen att nå sitt mål. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-45159788189456885?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/45159788189456885/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/cholkad-sherpa-expedition-swe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/45159788189456885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/45159788189456885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/cholkad-sherpa-expedition-swe.html' title='Cholkad Sherpa Expedition (SWE)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWWH-WxIFI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/6SDHHyBKHd8/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-1909143775263225097</id><published>2009-01-16T20:54:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T13:38:54.901+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Expedición Chocolate Sherpa (ESP)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWVguT9c2I/AAAAAAAAAXI/a9QOrzz2kZk/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWVguT9c2I/AAAAAAAAAXI/a9QOrzz2kZk/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311315724973470562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;« La degustación de chocolate más alta del mundo, para recaudar fondos y financiar un hospital móvil en Nepal »&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EL PROYECTO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke, el aventurero belga, está preparando su próxima expedición con su equipo: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Una marcha de 400 Km. entre Katmandú y el campamento base del Everest (Nepal) y la organización allí de ¡la degustación de chocolate la más alta del mundo! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Será un acontecimiento mediático sin precedentes que tendrá resonancia en todas partes del mundo. Será también un hecho belga que volverá a situar la imagen de Bélgica en la escena internacional!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;El objetivo de Chocolate Sherpa es el de recaudar donaciones para la creación de un hospital móvil en Nepal. Esta estructura permitirá dispensar cuidados médicos en estas remotas regiones. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;EL PROYECTO HUMANITARIO DEL HOSPITAL MÓVIL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Después de ocho años de trabajo voluntario en el Nepal Orthopaedic Hospital (Katmandú) y de haber instruido a jóvenes cirujanos nepalíes, un médico belga y su colega nepalí planean poner en pie un hospital móvil. Este hospital, de fácil montaje y trasladable por camión o helicóptero, permitirá a los médicos llegar a  valles remotos de Nepal. Durante campañas de un mes, 5000 pacientes podrán ser curados y llevarse a cabo 250 operaciones de cirugía. El hospital debería ser trasladado de 8 a 10 veces al año, con un coste mensual de 50000 €. El coste total del material de base se estima en 250000 €.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;En muchas regiones de Nepal no existen carreteras, lo que complica extremadamente el acceso a cuidados médicos para las poblaciones pobres. La falta de medios financieros y técnicos para llegar a la capital les impide recibir cuidados. Gracias al hospital móvil, podrán tener acceso tanto a medicina general como especializada. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;EL RETO ESPORTIVO, HUMANO Y CULTURAL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;El equipo de Chocolate Sherpa va a marchar los 400 Km. entre Katmandú y el campamento base del Everest, distribuyendo 200 Kg. de chocolate. Esta marcha será una oportunidad para ir al encuentro de Sherpas y vivir intensos momentos con ellos, que trasladan el equipaje de trekkers del mundo entero. El chocolate será distribuido durante el trayecto para agradecer simbólicamente la ayuda a estos portadores y Sherpas. Los últimos 100 Kg. serán catados durante una degustación única a 5350m de altura. En ese momento, el campamento base se convierte en un pueblo de entre 500 y 1000 habitantes, Sherpas y alpinistas de todos los continentes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Nuestra expedición aspira a una repercusión mediática de envergadura mundial para satisfacer a nuestros sponsors privados (empresas) a cambio de fondos para el proyecto del hospital.

Questa struttura mobile permetterà di offrire ricovero nelle regioni più arretrate.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;IL PROGETTO UMANITARIO DELL’OSPEDALE MOBILE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dopo otto anni di lavoro volontario al servizio del Nepal Orthopaedic Hospital  (Katmandou) e la formazione di giovani chirurghi nepalesi, un chirurgo belga e un suo amico nepalese progettano ora la creazione di un ospedale mobile. Questo ospedale, facile da montare, smontare e trasportare per mezzo di camion o elicottero, permetterà ai pazienti di recarvisi nei luoghi più remoti del Nepal. Dei campi di un mese permetteranno di curare 5000 pazienti e di operarne 250. Questa struttura potrà essere spostata da 8 a 10 volte all’anno. Il costo del materiale di base è stimato sui € 250.000 e ogni mese di servizio sui €  50.000.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Numerose regioni del Nepal non sono accessibili attraverso le strade ordinarie, e questo complica eccessivamente l’accesso alle cure per le popolazioni povere che vivono in queste regioni. La loro povertà impedisce a questa gente di recarsi nelle capitali per ricevere cure. Grazie all’ospedale mobile, sarà possibile di apportare ai nepalesi un tipo di cure più varie e specializzate.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;LA SFIDA SPORTIVA, UMANA E CULTURALE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La squadra del COCCOLATO SHERPA camminerà per 400 Km da Katmandou fino al campo base dell’Everest distribuendo 200 Kg di cioccolato. Questo lungo cammino sarà l’occasione di andare incontro agli Sherpa nepalesi e di condividere dei momenti intensi con queste guide che trasportano l’attrezzatura degli amanti del trekking del mondo intero. Il cioccolato sarà distribuito lungo il tragitto al fine di ringraziare, in modo del tutto simbolico, le guide e gli Sherpa. Gli ultimi 100 Kg saranno distribuiti durante una degustazione unica a 5.350 metri di altezza. In questo periodo il campo base è un villaggio composto di 500-1000 Sherpa e alpinisti provenienti da tutti i continenti per scalare il tetto del mondo.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;La spedizione mira a una promozione mediatica di portata mondiale per ricompensare sponsor privati (imprese)  per il conferimento di fondi per il progetto dell’ospedale. Le donazioni dei privati per incoraggiare la squadra del CIOCCOLATO SHERPA a portare a termine il suo progetto, rappresentano la seconda via di questa raccolta fondi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-4863381179096778589?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/4863381179096778589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-expedition-ita.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4863381179096778589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4863381179096778589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-expedition-ita.html' title='Chocolate Sherpa Expedition (ITA)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWcx8LXwLI/AAAAAAAAAXo/_RmhW06Pgss/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-2784110699743285272</id><published>2009-01-16T20:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T13:40:19.553+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Шоколад Sherpa (RU)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWXTjo31GI/AAAAAAAAAXY/W6LZjCcJTp0/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SbWXTjo31GI/AAAAAAAAAXY/W6LZjCcJTp0/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311317697793348706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Самая высокая в мире дегустация шоколада с целью сбора средств на создание непальской передвижной больницы&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Проект&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Луи-Филипп Лонк, бельгийский путешественник, готовит совместно со всоей командой новую экспедицию: трек  протяженностью в 400 км от Катманду, столицы Непала,  до базового лагеря  Эвереста (Everest Base Camp) c целью организавать самую высокую в мире дегустацию шоколада.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Это будет широко освящаемое в международной прессе событие.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Цель экспедиции «Шоколад Sherpa» - собрать пожертвования на создание передвижной больницы в Непале. Эта передвижная больница позволит лечить непальских жителей, живущих в отдаленных регионах.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Гуманитарный проект по созданию передвижной больницы&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;После 8 лет волонтерской работы в отделении Непальской Ортопедической больницы (Катманду) бельгийский хирург и его непальский друг и единомышленник решили создать передвижную больницу. Подобная мобильная больница легко собираеться и разбираеться, перевозиться на грузовой машине или на вертолете, что позволит врачам переместиться с необхлдимым оборудованием в отдаленные регионы Непала. Оставаясь на месте в течении 1 месяца, терапевты и специалисты передвижной больницы смогут оказать врачебную помощь 5000 пациентам и прооперировать около 250 человек. Передвижная больница будет ежегодно осуществлять 8-10 переездов из одного региона в другой. Стоимость оборудование для больницы составит  приблизительно 250.000 евро и ежемесячные расходы – 50.000 евро.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Такая больница необходима, так как многие регионы Непала недосягаемы из-за отсутсвия дорог, что делает невозможным для бедгного населения этой страны получить медицинское лечение.  Передвижная больница – единственная надежда, живущих в нищите непальцев, на медицинскую помощь специализированных врачей.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Гуманитарный и культурный вызов&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Команда «Шоколад Sherpa» пройдет пешком 400 км от Катманду до базового лагеря Эвереста, раздавая на своем пути 200 килограмм шоколада. Этот долгий поход даст возможность познакомиться с бытом местных шерпы – народности, насчитывающей около 150 тысяч человек, живущих на территории Непала. Шерпы являються отличными проводниками и носильщиками оборудования для трека. Без их помощи трек-экспедиции в Непале были бы крайне трудными и рискованными. Именно поэтому 100 килограмм шоколада будут розданы в знак благодарности за тяжелый труд шерпы. Оставщиеся 100 килограмм будут розданы на высоте 5.350 метров. Это будет самая высокая массовая дегустация шоколада, так как в этот период года в базовом лагере Эвереста находяться от 500 до 1000 шерпы и альпинистов, приехавших в Непал со всех континетов с надеждой покорить самую высокую вершину мира.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Экспедиция нуждаеться в поддержке прессы, телевидения и радио, так как предприятия, спонсирующие этот гуманитарный проект, а также будущие спонсоры, заинтересованы в широком освещении этого события.

Kempen-kempen sepanjang satu bulan akan memberi perkhidmatan jagaan kepada 5000 orang pesakit dan pembedahan termasuk  perubatan kepada 250 orang pesakit yang lain. .  Kos pekakasan untuk projek ini    ditaksirkan 250.000 (pounds) dan kos kempen selama sebulan dijanka  50.000 pounds pula.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Kebanyakan kawasan- kawasan  di Nepal tidak kesampaian dengan jalan dan hasrat untuk memberi perkhidmatan jagaan dan perubatan kepada penduduk-penduduk di kawasan-kawasan  miskin ini adalah sangat sukar.

Szpital ten zapewni niezbędną opiekę w odizolowanych rejonach Nepalu.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HUMANITARNY PROJEKT MOBILNEGO SZPITALA&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Po ośmiu latach spędzonych na pracy jako konsultant dla Nepalskiego Szpitala Ortopedycznego (Katmandu) oraz trenowaniu młodych nepalskich chirurgów, belgijski chirurg i jego nepalski przyjaciel planują stworzyć mobilny szpital. Taką jednostkę byłoby łatwo montować i demontować przy użyciu ciężarówki lub helikoptera i pozwoliłaby lekarzom dotrzeć do wielu niedostępnych terenów w Nepalu. Objazdy trwające miesiąc pozwolą zapewnić odpowiednią opiekę ponad 5000 ludzi oraz dostęp do zabiegów operacyjnych dla 250. Koszt podstawowego sprzętu szacuje się na 250 000 €, a jednomiesięcznego objazdu na 50 000 €.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Wiele obszarów Nepalu jest nieosiągalnych drogami i zapewnienie opieki w tych biednych regionach jest skomplikowanym przedsięwzięciem. Ich mieszkańcy nie są w stanie dotrzeć do stolicy kraju ze względu na koszt oraz czas takiej podróży. Dzięki mobilnemu szpitalowi stanie się możliwe zapewnienie podstawowej oraz specjalistycznej opieki.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPORTOWE, LUDZKIE I KULTUROWE WYZWANIE &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zespół Chocolate Sherpa przejdzie 400 km z Katmandu do Everest Base Camp i po drodze rozda 200 kg czekolady. Ta długa podróż pozwoli ekipie spotkać się z ludnością Sherpa i przeżyć intensywne chwile z ludźmi, którzy noszą sprzęt zachodnich podróżników od wielu dekad. Czekolada będzie oferowana lokalnej ludności Sherpa. Ostatnie 100 kg zostanie rozdanych podczas unikatowej degustacji na wysokości 5350 m. n.p.m. W tym okresie roku Everest Base Camp jest wioską liczącą od 500 do 1000 miaszkańców Sherpa oraz międzynarodowych wspinaczy, podejmujących próby wejścia na szczyt dachu świata.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Celem Ekspedycji jest zainteresowanie światowych mediów, aby spełnić wymagania firm sponsorujących mobilny szpital. Drugim środkiem zbierania funduszy są prywatne darowizny, motywujące ekipę Chocolate Sherpa do osiągnięcia ich celu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-6303032793590000946?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/6303032793590000946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/03/chocolate-sherpa-pol.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/6303032793590000946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/6303032793590000946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/03/chocolate-sherpa-pol.html' title='Chocolate Sherpa (POL)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/ScKur2f6t_I/AAAAAAAAAgw/uZRtGg5TdWI/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-3724978599450207066</id><published>2009-01-16T18:05:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-04T18:11:28.912+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Chocolate Sherpa in Hindi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/ScHyjfCleDI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/aXocI2R9BXQ/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Tato nemocnice bude sloužit pro odlehlé oblasti v Nepálu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dobročinný projekt pro nemocnici&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Po osmi letech práce jako odborný lékař pro Nepálskou ortopedickou nemocnice (Kathmandu) a trenování mladých nepálských chirurgů, Belgický chirurg a jeho nepálský přítel, plánují vytvořit mobilní nemocnici. Zařízení bude jednoduše pojízdné rychle odmontovatelné a převážené náklaďákem nebo vrtulníkem a bude poskytovat doktory, aby dosáhli dalekých míst v Nepálu. Kampaň trvající jeden měsíc umožní poskytnout peči 5000 lidem a poskytne lékařské zákroky 250. Základní zařízení stojí odhadem 250 000 € a měsíc kampaně 50 000€.&lt;br /&gt;Mnoho oblastí v Nepálu jsou nedostupné po silnicích tudíž poskytování péče v těchto chudých oblastech je komplikovaná práce. Lidé se nemohou dostat do měst kvůli penězům a času stráveného cestováním. Díky mobilní nemocnici, bude možné poskytnout všeobecnou a speciální péči.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sportovní, dobročinný a kulturní zážitek&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Skupina Čokoládový šerpa půjde 400km z Kathmandu do základního tábora Everestu a bude roznášet 200 kg čokolády. Tato dlouhá cesta poskytne skupině potkat šerpské obyvatele a rozdělí se o silné chvilky s těmi, kteří nosí vybavení pro lidi ze Západu po desetiletí.&lt;br /&gt;Čokoláda bude nabízená během treku průvodcům a šerpům. Zbývajících 100 kg bude rozneseno během výjmečného čokoládového ochutnávání v 5350 metrech. Základní tábor je vesnice mezi 500 a 1000 šerpami a mezinárodními horolezci, kteří se pokouší dosáhnout vrcholu světa .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sponzoři darují peníze na tuto akci, díky mediální pozornosti, která bude doprovázet tuto expedici. Druhý způsob nasbírání finančních prostředků je od soukromých dárců, kteří tak podpoří skupinu Čokoládový šerpa, aby dosáhli cíle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-3973084469918542221?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/3973084469918542221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/cokoladovy-serpa-tch.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/3973084469918542221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/3973084469918542221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/cokoladovy-serpa-tch.html' title='ČOKOLÁDOVÝ ŠERPA (TCH)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SZrUvq4o5II/AAAAAAAAAUw/AvnV6rY5fU0/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-1723885964979740559</id><published>2009-01-16T08:46:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T08:53:19.543+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Chocolate Sherpa (PORT)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Scc-vhjggnI/AAAAAAAAAh0/yqb_ON95fro/s1600-h/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Scc-vhjggnI/AAAAAAAAAh0/yqb_ON95fro/s200/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316286871316234866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;« A degustação de chocolate mais alta do mundo organizada para &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;financiar a a construção de um hospital móvel no Nepal»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O PROJETO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;O aventureiro belga Louis-Philippe Loncke está preparando sua próxima expedição.

É um &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;acontecimento único  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;no mundo.

Esse establecimento pode ser &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;facilmente montado, rapidamente desmontado e &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;transportado por caminhão ou helicóptero e irá permitir que os médicos cheguem até lugares remotos do Nepal. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Campanhas duradouras de um mês irão permitir a prestação de cuidados para 5000 pessoas e para prestar cuidados médicos &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;e cirurgias para 250 pessoas. O custo do equipamento básico é estimado em 250000€ e um ês de campanham 50000€.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Muitas regiões do Nepal são inacessíveis através de estradas e, portanto, prestar cuidados nestas áreas pobres é uma tarefa &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;complicada. As pessoas são incapazes de chegar à capital, devido ao custo e tempo de tal viagem. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Graças ao hospital móvel, será possível fornecer geral e atendimento especializado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;UM DESAFIO ESPORTIVO, HUMANO E CULTURAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A equipa do Chocolate Sherpa vai andar 400 km de Katmandu até o Acampamento Base do Everest e distribuir 200 quilos de &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;chocolate. Esta longa caminhada permitirá que a equipe encontre a população Sherpa e compartilhar momentos intensos &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;com aqueles que têm carregado os equipamentos ocidentais durante décadas. Os chocolates serão oferecidos durante o &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;trekking para carregadores e Sherpas. O restante dos 100 kg será distribuído durante uma única degustaçao a 5.350 metros &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;de altura. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Durante este período do ano, o acampamento é uma aldeia de entre 500 e 1000 Sherpas e monathanistas internacionais que &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;estão tentando alcanzar o topo do mundo. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A expedição visa a cobertura da medial internacional para a projeção dos patrocinadores corporativos que irão financiar o &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;hospital móvel. A segunda medida para recolher fundos é através de doações privadas incentivando o time dos Chocolate &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Sherpa a alcançar seus objetivos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-1723885964979740559?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/1723885964979740559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-port.html#comment-form' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/1723885964979740559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/1723885964979740559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-sherpa-port.html' title='Chocolate Sherpa (PORT)'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/Scc-vhjggnI/AAAAAAAAAh0/yqb_ON95fro/s72-c/Logo+A3_fond+blog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-8753894943507668481</id><published>2009-01-15T10:23:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T22:36:09.778+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project'/><title type='text'>Timing - Dates</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG:&lt;/span&gt; We should start walking on the 13 of April 2009.&lt;br /&gt;Week 1 : Kathmandu to Jiri&lt;br /&gt;Week 2 : Jiri to Lukla&lt;br /&gt;Week 3+4: Lukla to EBC to Lukla - climbing Kala Patthar (5545m/18192ft.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This includes acclimatization days. Fly out from Lukla to Kathmandu. Normally the distance from Kathmandu to EBC is 302 km. The total trip will be around 400km. The ascent will be over 14000m and over 10000m of descent. A real challenge if you are carrying kgs of chocolate! The aim to organize the Belgian chocolate tasting on the 6th of May to allow plenty of time to return safely to Lukla, Kathmandu and then home.&lt;br /&gt;Some Chocolate Sherpas will join from Lukla and help the ones who will start from Kathmandu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA:&lt;/span&gt; Le départ de la marche est fixé au 13 Avril 2009.&lt;br /&gt;Semaine 1: Kathmandou à Jiri&lt;br /&gt;Semaine 2: Jiri à Lukla&lt;br /&gt;Semaine 3+4: Lukla à CBE (Camp de base de l'Everest) à Lukla - gravir le Kala Patthar (5545m).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce temps prend en compte des jours pour s'acclimater ainsi que le vol de retour de Lukla à Kathmandou.&lt;br /&gt;La distance entre Kathmandou et CBE est de 302 km. Le trajet complet avec le retour totalisera environ 400km avec un dénivelé positif de 14000m et négatif de 10000m. Un sacré défi s'il faut porter des kgs de chocolat! Le date prévue pour la dégustation est estimée au 6 Mai 2009. Cela permet assez de temps pour revenir sans grans risque vers Lukla, Kathmandou puis le retour chez soi.

He currently works in the supply chain management within a Telecommunication company while studying in a Master in Logistics.&lt;br /&gt;His current academic researches are focused on the logistic of expeditions (scientific, cultural or sports).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early fascinated by explorations, Jeremy travelled solo in Australia during three months (15 000 km in a campervan) and then in South America (Chile, Bolivia) and Japan.&lt;br /&gt;He has several projects of trekking and exploration for the future…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will he bring in this expedition?&lt;br /&gt;Jeremy will bring his skills in logistics and support. Persevering and organised he will support the team to achieve the common goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His favourite chocolate?

Il travaille actuellement dans le management logistique dans une entreprise de télécommunication, tout en faisant un Master en Logistique.&lt;br /&gt;Ses recherches académiques portent, aujourd’hui, sur la logistique des expéditions scientifiques, culturelles et sportives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fasciné très jeune par l’exploration et les explorateurs, Jérémy a parcouru, seul, l’Australie durant trois mois (15 000 km dans une camionnette), puis en Amérique du Sud (Chili, Bolivie) et au Japon.&lt;br /&gt;Il a plusieurs projets de treks et d’exploration pour le futur…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que va-t-il apporter à cette expédition ?&lt;br /&gt;Jérémy va apporter ses compétences en logistique et en soutien.

Norbert is a true chocaholic, but not only that: he loves fresh air and strong sensations...hence his enthusiasm for project Chocolate Sherpa.&lt;br /&gt;Commited, he was previously engaged in student organisations, first promoting the respect of Human Rights then respect and knowledge of the environment.&lt;br /&gt;Although a true music lover, he will have to leave his guitar at home and content himself with the sound of the wind, nepali trumpets and of LouPhi's jokes as sole musical background.&lt;br /&gt;Belgian from origin, Norbert travelled to the USA and Africa, visited most of Western Europe and has lived in Spain for 6 months. As a true Belgian, he speaks both French and Dutch perfectly, practices English and Spanish every day and masters the basics of German. He further plans to learn Japanese and Turkish...let's say in a near future!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Norbert graduated in 2007 in Political science and will try to put his sense of diplomacy at the service of this crazy project!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA:&lt;/span&gt; A 24 ans, c'est un miracle que Norbert ait encore toutes ses dents vu la quantité de chocolat qu'il a ingurgité durant sa courte vie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Norbert est donc drogué au chocolat, mais pas seulement: il aime l'air frais et les sensations fortes...d'où son enthousiasme pour Chocolate Sherpa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Engagé, il a été membre d'organisations étudiantes promouvant le respect des Droits de l'Homme et la connaissance de la nature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Egalement grand fan de musique, il devra cependant laisser sa guitare en Belgique et se contenter du vent, des trompettes népalaises et des blagues de LouPhi comme unique fond sonore!&lt;br /&gt;Belge d'origine, Norbert a voyagé aux Etats-Unis et en Afrique, a quadrillé l'Europe de l'Ouest et a vécu 6 mois en Espagne. En tant que vrai Belge, il parle parfaitement le français et le néerlandais, parle l'anglais et l'espagnol tous les jours et possède des bases en allemand. Il projette d'apprendre le japonais et le turc dans un futur...disons proche!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Norbert a obtenu son diplôme de Science politique en 2007 et va essayer de mettre son sens de la diplomatie au service de ce projet fou!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-1945818850070443013?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/1945818850070443013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/norbert-eggermont.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/1945818850070443013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/1945818850070443013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/norbert-eggermont.html' title='Norbert Eggermont'/><author><name>Norbert</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DOPi94OqItI/SXyVs_SXgFI/AAAAAAAAAAM/LDzqk7hoLQE/s72-c/Choc_Sherpa-Profile_Norbert.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-1397897568314770485</id><published>2009-01-01T21:47:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-26T19:50:59.799+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='team'/><title type='text'>Louis-Philippe Loncke</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SXjkK-n5FSI/AAAAAAAAASU/VFPuKNZyb00/s1600-h/louis-philippe+loncke.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SXjkK-n5FSI/AAAAAAAAASU/VFPuKNZyb00/s200/louis-philippe+loncke.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294232239234159906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENG:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.louis-philippe-loncke.com/"&gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke&lt;/a&gt; (LouPhi) is the leader of this expedition. He had the idea of this unique expedition. He is nicknamed "The Crazy Belgian" in Australia because of his previous solo adventures. Known as adventurer or explorer in several countries, he has been featured in over 20 newspapers, adventure blogs and national TV news in Belgium, France, Australia and the USA. After his world first &lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com/"&gt;Simpson desert Trek&lt;/a&gt;, he wants to go back to the mountains and not solo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Louphi is born in Belgium and will turn 32 in March 2009. He has several degrees: Master of industrial engineering in Electro-mechanics, Master in Industrial management and expert class in treasury management. He is still eager to learn things in IT and management. He works in Brussels as consultant in IT and management (Project management and Service management). He is fluent in French, Dutch and English. He knows some Spanish and is learning Russian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://louphi.blogspot.com/"&gt;Louphi&lt;/a&gt; has discovered the outdoors while scubadiving in Australia where he started his passion for bushwalking (hiking, trekking). He has walked solo over 3200 km in the past 4 years. He has learned about explorers, survival and planning new extreme routes across desert, tropical forest, jungle and mountain cold ranges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is he important in this expedition?&lt;br /&gt;He is the leader, the person with heaps of ideas and a will to share the project and bring it to the end. His tasks will include communications, photography, filming, press relations and motivating the team members to succeed. He’s a funny guy and the team will have to endure his crazy Belgian humor ! That’s not an easy task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.louis-philippe-loncke.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Louis-Philippe Loncke&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (LouPhi) est le leader de cette expédition; il en a eu l'idée. On le surnomme "The Crazy Belgian" -Le Belge fou- en Australie à cause de ses aventures en solitaire. Il est connu comme aventurier ou explorateur dans plusieurs pays et a été le sujet d'articles et nouvelles dans plus de 20 journaux, weblogs d'aventure et TV nationale en Belgique, en France, en Australie et aux USA. Après avoir réalisé une première mondiale lors de sa &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;traversée du désert de Simpson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, il veut retourner à la montagne et pas seul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Louphi est né en Belgique et aura 32 ans en Mars 2009. Il a plusieurs diplômes: Mastère en sciences de l'ingénieur industriel en Electro-mécanique, Master in Industrial management et expert class in treasury management. Il continue à se à se former en TIC et gestion. Il travaille à Bruxelles pour une société de consultance en IT et management. (Gestion de projets et Service management). Il parle couramment le Français, le Néerlandais et l'Anglais. Il se débrouille en Espagnol et apprend le Russe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://louphi.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Louphi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt; a découvert les sports de plein air en Australie alors qu'il y était qllé pour faire de la plongée en bouteille. Une nouvelle passion est née pour la randonnée et le trekking. Il totalise plus de 3200 km en solo sur les 4 dernières années. Il s'intéresse et apprend un maximum de choses à propos des explorateurs et la survie pour parcourir de nouvelles pistes à travers les déserts, les forêts tropicales, la jungle et la montagne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pourquoi est-il important dans cette expédition?&lt;br /&gt;C'est le leader, celui qui possède un talent pour créer de nouvelles idées et partager des projets en les menant à bien jusqu'au bout. Ces tâches incluent la communication, la photo, la réalisation du film, les relations avec la presse et surtout la motivation de l'équipe dans les périodes de doute. C'est aussi un boute-en-train et il faut pouvoir subir son humour caustique.

Jo has already done treks in the Alps and the Pyrenees, but this new expedition can’t be compared in terms of altitude, endurance, bravery and adventure. But Jo is confident and hopes that with his willpower, motivation and the support of his new big brothers he will eventually make it ! Maybe he'll become the first Belgian redhead aged of 18 to reach the mythic Everest base camp!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;During his childhood, the idea to go discover the world quivered him.  He liked then to immerse himself into an atlas to daydream... Today, this hunger for new horizons is still very present and this trekking in the Himalaya excites him so much that he sleeps very little.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Furthermore, Jo already did some crazy projects such as a tour of France hitchhiking and he’s currently spending his time in an youth organization, where he has the opportunity to share his taste for adventure with teenagers, providing them s sense of adventure. Jo studies political sciences in Brussels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jo's loves the outdoors, particularly the mountain, but also of geography, photography and ... of course......Belgian chocolate !!! He’ll take any opportunity to improve his drawing skills with subjects like stunning landscapes, sherpas and monks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRA&lt;/span&gt;: A 18 ans, Joseph de Mahieu est le benjamin du groupe. Il a déjà acquis une belle expérience en trekking notamment dans les Alpes et les Pyrénées mais le trek qui s'annonce n'est en rien comparable en terme d'altitude, d'endurance, de courage et d'aventure! Mais Jo est confiant, et espère donc qu'avec sa volonté, sa motivation et les encouragements de ses nouveaux grands frères, il y arrivera ! Ne deviendrait-il pas alors le premier roux belge de 18 ans à atteindre le mythique camp de base de l’Everest ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depuis son enfance, l'idée de partir à la découverte du monde le faisait déjà frémir. Il s'immergeait dans un atlas pour rêvasser. Aujourd'hui encore, cette soif de découverte et d’aventure lui procure un bien-être et une liberté qu'il ne ressent nulle-part ailleurs. Cette grande expédition dans l'Himalaya commence d'ailleurs déjà à raccourcir ses nuits, car excité comme il est par ce voyage il a parfois du mal à s'endormir!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jo a déjà réalisé un tour de France en stop et s’investit actuellement dans Passeport ASBL, une organisation de jeunesse où il partage son goût d'évasion à des plus jeunes, tout en leur donnant une belle formation à l'aventure. Jo est en faculté de sciences politiques à Bruxelles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jo aime la montagne, la géographie, la photographie et le chocolat belge, bien sûr et il aura surtout l’opportunité de perfectionner son talent en dessin sur des sujets variés comme les paysages, les portraits de sherpas ou encore de moines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-4973091073230972819?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/4973091073230972819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/joseph-de-mahieu_01.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4973091073230972819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/4973091073230972819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/joseph-de-mahieu_01.html' title='Joseph de Mahieu'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SaHZ4qOo5uI/AAAAAAAAAVo/CxPjN_W-nLA/s72-c/joseph-de-mahieu.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588709946777933838.post-2609049362227439647</id><published>2009-01-01T00:43:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T00:44:25.308+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='in_the_press_media'/><title type='text'>La tribune de Bruxelles</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SdvXFWGlQfI/AAAAAAAAAk0/ktxgCkPhlBo/s1600-h/TBXL-310.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 127px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SdvXFWGlQfI/AAAAAAAAAk0/ktxgCkPhlBo/s200/TBXL-310.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322083871500878322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(TBX n° 310, Page 2, 2009-04-07)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7588709946777933838-2609049362227439647?l=chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/feeds/2609049362227439647/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/la-tribune-de-bruxelles.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2609049362227439647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7588709946777933838/posts/default/2609049362227439647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/2009/01/la-tribune-de-bruxelles.html' title='La tribune de Bruxelles'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/SdvXFWGlQfI/AAAAAAAAAk0/ktxgCkPhlBo/s72-c/TBXL-310.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
