YAY! Visa extension

Oh happy day!

After a few stressful days of is it possible? is it not? Is it way more expensive for Americans?
Will the power be ON in Shigatze for long enough for them to even process it?? Yes, Visa extenstion, lovely happy 10 more days in Tibet. I was thinking the last few days would be my last chang-a mo, last yak soup, last Lhasa beer! Oh no! The visa gods have smiled upon me, and my friend Luis! The plan is to go Sakya, Shegar, Lhatse,Tingri, then to the border. Unfortunately I can’t get off the tourist trail this trip.. But I know I will be back.

For people wanting to know the visa extension was through FIT in Shigatze, 10 days was the most we could get here, but I think in Lhasa you can get a bit longer one. The visa extension was 130 yuan plus 100 yuan FIT fee.. Be aware Americans, they tried to get me to pay 460 Yuan! Yikes! Good thing the lady at PSB was more kind than the FIT people..
