- Abstract:
  The article discusses the author's stay at the Base Camp at Mount Everest. He notes that it takes eight days to get from the Nepalese village of Luka to the foot of Mount Everest. He describes the view from the base camp. He observes that the 27 expeditions spread along the area had turned the camp into a cross between a Central Asian bazaar and a pre-Christmas PlayStation sale at Wal-Mart.
