Not from the moon
I'll bust a myth: from the moon you can't see it. On the other hand, the live visit is well worth the trek under the scorching sun, followed by pseudo-guides: they try, with little insistence, to sell kina-gadgets to the few tourists who, instead of preferring other, more crowded locations, make their way to Simatai.
About the course: the first lesson will be on 23 April instead of the 16th. Registration is open for another week then.
