7 Days in Tibet: Day 5

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

. Drive to Rongpu Monastery .

As instructed by our driver, we awake around seven in the morning for the trip to Mt. Everest and are scolded for being a little bit late again by a blaring horn that wakes everybody in the overpriced hostel. The group’s tolerance for this driver’s attitude and lack of any guidance from the “guide” (from now on referred to as the overpaid translator who doesn’t know the name to the towns or natural wonders that we passed.) begins to fade as we gain altitude, approaching the tallest Mountain in the world.

7 Days in Tibet: Day 4

Friday, November 9th, 2007

. Gyantse and Shigatse .

Wake up at nine in the morning. The “guide” and driver say that as soon as they procure the permits required for the next leg of our trip, they’ll meet us by the town’s monastery by noon. We take a casual stroll past the hill top fort and through the old town. Along the way we are invited into a Tibetan lady’s home. We go onto her rooftop for a thrilling view of the surroundings. After staying for a while, we are forced to move onwards if we want to keep on schedule to make it to our next stop by this afternoon. Alas, we get sidetracked again, playing with the snotty nosed kids roaming the streets. [read on]

7 Days in Tibet: Day 3

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

. Samye Monastery .

Wake at seven thirty in the morning to see the Samye monastery at dawn and witness the morning prayers. Our “guide” and driver insist on leaving at eight before the monastery opens. We politely tell them we didn’t drive a day out of our way to stop here and sleep in a non-heated room only to skip the site when we woke. It is freezing cold, but the unique experience is all worth it. [read on]

Lhasa, Tibet!

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Lhasa, the capitol city of Tibet; former home to the exiled Dalai Lama and now conquest acquisition of the Chinese Government. Ive only been in town for a week, but in this short time it is still possible to glimpse the deep cultural history of the Tibetan people and witness the affects of the domineering Chinese assimilation. While it may not be possible to fully understand the cultural and political situation, the Lhasa prefecture offers a variety of interesting adventure and other diversions for a visitor. [read on]

The Highest Railroad in the World

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

It is sometime in the middle of the night. I’m not exactly sure when. The train’s clock has been flashing 20:35 since I boarded on Sunday, and I only know today is Tuesday. I can’t seem to stay asleep for very long, and have awoken several times only to find the rest of the cabin in a deep slumber. Maybe it’s the increasingly high altitude and thin air or maybe it’s the high pitched whizzing of the oxygen being artificially pumped into the train. Maybe it’s just anticipation for the unique culture and breathtaking (literally) scenery I have yet to experience in Tibet. [read on]

Saying difficult goodbyes in the shadowless city

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

The city of Chengdu, center of Sichuan; China‘s “spiciest” province! A land more accustomed to laziness, where an unfortunately consistent stream of bad weather reigns supreme.

Chinese Sex Culture
