Scientists have found out, why Tibet inhabitants do not suffer air illness.

The average height of Tibet territories exceeds 4 thousand meters above sealevel, and in Himalayas framing Tibet plateau from the south, the highestpoint of globe is located - mountain Chomolungma (Everest), with height of8850 meters above sea level. However, despite of unusual heights, Tibetans,apparently, do not suffer from dizziness at all, and low level of oxygen inthe blood, observable in people's organisms at such height, also does notaffect their state of health. Scientists have solved this strangeness ofnatives' organism: Tibetans' organisms compensate lack of blood oxygenincreasing quantity of the blood flowing to visceras.
Thus, blood remains badly sated by oxygen, however owing to intensity of ablood-groove, this lack is graded - such hypothesis has been put forward bya group of scientists under direction of physical anthropologist Sinty Billfrom the Ohio Case-western Reserve University.
For acknowledgement of their theory they have collected group of 88Tibetans-volunteers which live in territory of the Tibetan independent areawhere the height reaches 4 200 meters above sea level. Prtial pressure ofoxygen here is approximately in one and a half - two time lower than at anocean edge. The second group of volunteers was made by 50 people livingclose to the Cleveland university which territories only in 200 meters towerabove sea level. Further scientists have measured speed and volume ofparticipants' of research blood-groove, using for this purpose the specialdevice fixed around of forearms.
As a result, scientists have found out: through vessels on Tibetans' handstwice more blood is running, than through hands of Cleveland inhabitants.
Thus the average heart rate and blood pressure of Tibetans completelycoincided with similar parameters at Americans.

I have just recollected one of the most tragic moments of my life. I'll notdescribe it here.Here what has occurred to me - in our usual life we do what everybody doesand we are very similar on robots or actors.
Only in such dangerous situations we wake up and become ourselves. Ourfeelings improbably become aggravated. We make that should rescue us. Iteven can be against the common norms and rules. Probably a primitive actedthat way.

I want to say many thanks to Nikos for helping me in choosing a hotel on Santorini. There is a huge amount of hotels on small lots and it is very easy to make a mistake. I am very surprised that many 4* hotels do not have a swimming pool. Even outside of the building! I made a booking through web site Santorini Hotels and also through them have arranged accommodation on Mykonos too. It is very good that people in this agency made me to change my mind staying on Santorini for 10 days, I would get crazy in 10 days from boredom. But helps to this agency I spend 10 days on 2 very beautiful islands! I had an amazing vacation, I would like to go again there!
