Free Tibet

Thoughts of Tibet…

Let’s start off with the wondaerful:

Beautiful people..
Amazing landscape…
Fantastic monasteries..
Welcoming and gracious hosts….

The ugly:Chinese military at every place…
Chinese intrusion into their fantastic culture..
Banned blogging, reading BBC, and other news sites..
Having only one English channel FULL of propaganda…if I hear of one more story about the Beijing Olympics I will VOMIT…

The Bottom Line:Visit Lhasa and the surroundings before the Chinese RUIN all of it (they have already started), the railroad from Beijing was completed this year bringing over 1000 people into Lhasa daily…frustrating to say the least. It’s so ironic, even at the Potola Palace (which I’ll write about—the palace of the Dalai Lamas), every great Tibetan feature was counterbalanced with something Chinese.

China—get over yourself. You know, I had applied to take a vacation and attend the Beijing Olympics next summer… cancelled that plan…my money will NOT GO INTO FUNDING your crazy set of political policy.

Free Tibet.
Please.
