Hello from Tibet.

[Fiannan]

Just wanted to say hi. I am currently sitting in an internet cafe in Lhasa and aside from it being a bit more difficult to go running at this altitude it is a really interesting place to be in.

[WANDERER]

Go ahead. Rub it in : ) Hope you are having a great time!

[skalenfehl]

[Alaskagain]

Nope. I don't want pictures. (See his other thread on the Tibetan Sky Burial).

You go to the most interesting places. I would think this would give your posts a bit more perspective.

I am kidding! Really, I am!

One day you'll have to explain to me why you travel to the far reaches of the planet like you do.

True. Not sure about monitoring of communications. Guess I have to wait until I am back home to tell a few things.

[WillowTheWhisp]

Do tell us more about Tibet. It seems such a fascinating place to me.

If you get a chance, take some pictures of Mount Everest for us. It would be interesting to see some photos of the 29,028 foot mountain.

Was there the first day but the second day, when I left Lhasa, was when everyting got really violent. The Chinese papers are saying the Dhali Lama started it all and that all Tibetans are angry over his interference. I'll elaborate more when I leave China.

I was in the Hymalayas but not near Everest. Sorry.

I am sorry that wasn't meant as so crass because of reporting restrictions I had only heard of the intial Monks protest no indication it was anything other than peaceful and fairly small - the news story kicked off later - just glad to know you are OK I was thinking about you last night

Need to look out for those Llasha cab drivers who ask if you are looking for a good Yak. They are not talking about taking you to a comedy club.

Thanks, I didn't take anything you said negatively. Yes, the initial protests on day one were peaceful and ... well, better wait a few days before going into any other detailss.

Interesting, I can use LDS Talk e-mail to send and receive messages in China but Hotmail is blocked. Also, isn't it ironic that using this computer here in Beijing I cannot click on links dealing with the Lhasa riots and get them to load?

LDS sites tend not to be very restricted I know on one I belonged to we had several Iraqis, I think the BBC world service is something people use in many countries to find out what is going on.

If your in Tibet china that is great. I have always thought of monks as great peaple who seek peace and love people. Unfortunately now Chinese government have killed scores of Monks as they protest what the government is doing to them. Sad to hear this. Again thay are a great people and would love them to be my Neighbors :)
