The first to return to Lhasa (8 / 12)
Back to Lhasa nice day, you are welcome to Lhasa to echo the theme still in mind, Namco has experienced many things, once again return to a peaceful, safe, warm, love Lhasa. I routinely stay at the auspicious day hotel.
Meimeidishui a satiety, woke up and found tenants for coming two grown very funny person, said to be engaged in the advertising industry, to Beijing, full of devotion to go to Kaila Shi Shan (ie post Niwa pk ). However, I still on Nepal's tourist routes them some good advice. It had been almost a look at noon, and was thinking about going to the famous "Deji sweet tea" to eat noodles and sweet milk tea Tibet, and Tibetans who sat in one, casual chat, the idea is very interesting. Tibetan woman selling sweet tea is very thin, carrying sweet tea in a store inside the shuttle, but she is very smart because she can drink the sweet tea remember that each individual clearly, a cup is not bad. Of course, the credibility of the Tibetans is speaking, I have never seen them because of this dispute. Tibet face only two fifty cents, taste very good, like ramen noodles like a somersault, covered with sweet-smelling yak meat, need to buy to raise the child and then get themselves stove, such as buffet-like. 5-day drinking cups of sweet tea, the stomach, also rose or less, and I got up and checkout leave.
I was driving towards the direction of the hotel Asia, in fact, is in "Deji sweet tea," the opposite, would like to see be able to find with a few companions chartered to Ali. Asian hotel bulletin boards covered with a variety of needs, I was reading with great interest was 11 then, next came a foreign girl, said to me in English, you speak English? Everest to go do? We have five individuals had. Chat a few words, I know she called Melissa, from Canada. Then came a German boy, named this, which means Bear. My plan is better to go to Ali, the way passing through Mount Everest, but if can not find enough people, they first went to Mount Everest and make other plans. So, all in a flexible plan.
After a few brief chat, we decided at the front gate of a first set of the Jokhang Temple, then go to the famous restaurant Majiami Tibet mobilization. Melissa to go back to the hotel to other people very much like to take pictures, hand holding an old Nikon camera, he was going to Bajiao Street shopping, then go to the Jokhang Temple as the Golden sunset shoot, just I am interested in the with left.
It is because the 6-year-old than me, in Vietnam when the hydraulic engineers to guide the local people how to control water. He said that he loves this place in Vietnam, because there are very good, willing to acquire, work very seriously. Incidentally, I first look at the Jokhang Temple, when is the deepening twilight, the time for evening classes only take pictures of Tibetans who around the turn to go through the cylinder when the back of gallery. Jokhang Temple, the Golden is very broad, can be allowed to gaze longingly into the Potala Palace, under the blue sky, very very pleasant. I shoot a lot of pictures from the pilgrimage to the Tibetan monks chanting (chanting monks are not allowed according to the general, I was photographed), the evening's excitement gradually dissipated Bajiao Street, hawkers were to seize the last chance of the day efforts. We also looked forward waiting finally the Melissa and other friends, once more a lot of people, Americans, British, Japanese, looks like a combination of not bad, more like a small United Nations force.
Majiami Tibetan restaurant interior is quite distinctive, it is on the top floor balcony to enjoy the evening cool and the heat Bajiao Street scene. It is with a beautiful legend, was once the residence of the Dalai Lama VI, who often meet here with a beautiful sweetheart, so also used the cover of recipes written in his famous Yang Pizhi beautiful poem a sense of great vicissitudes. Each point of the favorite dishes in the evening we all talk very happy, because if they get the travel permits of these foreigners, then all problems are OK. Unfortunately, some of them did not, you must apply through the Tourist Board takes about three working days, so this matter to the end, no shape. But no matter how, together, fun.
Back to the auspicious day when the hotel has been relatively late, because the characteristics of Tibet 9:00 sunset so that we develop a special evening dinner habit. So roommate of some of my friends are already asleep. I have a day goes by hotels, but also to live in. Some newcomers, among them aspiring Xuan, I know him very interesting process. He met asked me, "You do not go to the burial? Just this evening, along with chartered to more people, cheaper!" I have always been reluctant to break the veil of the Tibetan tradition, if this is the mystery of their traditional ceremonies , we do not need to disturb their implementation, or as a spectator, so that the dead I think it is disrespectful. While it can be organized to allow tourists have to go watch, but I do not see these bloody scenes, but Zhi Xuan take MBA, so incredibly good eloquence, had advised me persistently, has been advised of their departure, and later I still firmly in their position, did not go. But later, we are still talking about very hit it, and now maintain a very good links.
Happy day passed. Basically, I learned something about Ali and Everest chartered to the situation that most people are not going Sakya Monastery - a famous temple in Tibet teaching of flowers because of the need by way of fold lines on the way to get there, they decide on their own a people go to. State Department has specifically allocated funds to build three major monasteries in Tibet, Norbulingka, the Potala Palace, there is a Sagya. So, this ancient temple must have her own style and story, I want to see. In retrospect, Sakya become my favorite temple in Tibet, because in subsequent travels on to tell us.
