Contact with the ground plane of that moment, hanging heart finally calm.
Through the glass, can see clear sky, and edge light blue light blue clouds. Covered with bright sunshine throughout the apron, then Lhasa should be incredibly fast towards the evening.
Out of the cabin, a ray of pure cold air Qinru Heart and then the whole plateau bone-chilling wind began to tremble. All dressed in thick jackets, only that I was the only dressed in skirts and short-sleeved sweater.
A friend arranged for a driver come pick me up. I saw the crowd there is a middle-aged man holding a sign. That says my name. Putting.
Waved, and greeted him. He approached me, took a heavy hand luggage.
He Chengdu, then slowly and I chatted. Suddenly people have a sense of coming home. Only later did I find that living in Lhasa Sichuanese less than local Tibetans.
We drive along the Brahmaputra to the urban road.
Initially, we can only look at one of the tributaries of the Brahmaputra, that I mistakenly thought it was the Lhasa River. The more cars to move forward, he grows ever wider.
Blue sky and white clouds, green water whitecaps.
From the airport to Lhasa Gonggar need to lose about a half-hour's drive. This is some distance to Gonggar Airport has become one of China's farthest away from the city airport. In the car, and chatting with the driver side, edge to enjoy the scenery along the route.
In the national highway on both sides, you will find lush trees and Colorful wildflowers. On several occasions, have almost could not help but want to get off to see.
Here, the sunlight is sufficient enough to tan your skin violent. Rocking car window, watching the roadside to the Potala Palace, which from afar pilgrims, low house, as well as posted on the wall of the cow dung group.
Numerous scenery along the way, they can not close contact.
Sometimes, some of the scenery you need to go closer, often when you are approached, we also found little flaws.
A friend arranged a hotel in Beijing East Road. Are everywhere in Lhasa, family hotel, clean and cheap. So, be regarded as a luxury stay in the guesthouse, but the kindness of friends was difficult.
From the bedroom window can clearly see the Potala Palace and Lhasa, the surrounding rolling hills. Next morning, drizzle a bit. The distant peaks of snow have accumulated since thin.
Come out from the hotel, has been left walking about ten minutes to walk out onto street was. On both sides of the street full of a number of shops, some selling of some Tibetan characteristics, accessories, and some sell some features from around the snacks, there is only an open bar at night Caidui travelers. Of course, there is also no shortage of Internet cafes. Sitting in small cafes, listening to the boss shells vielle, singing Tibetan folk songs, wrote to a friend E-mail, the whole afternoon seemed pleasant lot.
Street was to go look inside, that is the Jokhang Temple. I sat in the flow of oil over the stone steps, there is no desire to go. Looking at the pilgrimage crowd, waving colored streamer.
A strange man's camera at me, I'm just a quiet smile. Thorough exposed eyes and soft eyes.
Next to the play of several Tibetan children, indiscriminately slapstick with. A more courageous and more children came to ask me.
Auntie, do you come from?
Then, the other a few children had walked over. 11 answering their questions.
Auntie, you give us to buy ice cream do?
I had to admire the courage and fearlessness of these children, who pulled out all of the coins, and finally left the Jokhang Temple.
Jokhang Temple Square side street are shops selling handicrafts.
And Kham guy who, apart from the bargaining will simply chatting. Chat mainland cities or people.
One called the Soviet Union for at least the boss summoned me to sit down in his shop. Guests keep on coming, he would be sitting idle when a small stool next to me asked me a lot of personal problems. Such as age, such as love.
He said that I should bring forward the past few days in Lhasa. A few days ago, Blackie Ko has also performed on the square to do Speed.
In some cases, someone will always be missed. Even if we catch up with each other.
He sent me a three-color copper ring, was I brought in the left index finger. To leave his shop, he suddenly said. When people send ring, you will bring the middle finger?
I looked at him blankly smiled. He walked up, give me a deep hold. And then said something vague words. Thanks to this kind of Kham guy, thank you for the last of those blessings.
Days slowly fade down.
Where to go deeper to the alley, in the Xinhua Bookstore in front of a well-known coffee shop. Majiami.
In the Tibetan language, the Majiemi is not married girl. Cafe on the second floor, many foreign people are gathered here. Because by the time this late hour, there is no vacancy.
A pair of lovers so I sat opposite them. A question and answer with chatting.
They come from Kunming, and that night was last night in Lhasa. Two sweet smile, dark skin, so I mistakenly thought they were from Malaysia.
Point of this property of beer. Constantly and this pair of lovers clink.
Out from the cafe. Windy outside. Who passed, have put a down jacket, but I still stubbornly wear long-sleeved white shirt, thin sports pants.
Human tricycle riding to go back. Found strong popular bar street home. Travelers.
A narrow space, full of people. Sit at the bar side, and the owner of the bar chatting. He said, I came very timely, because the winter travelers to Lhasa, few will soon be closed, wait until tomorrow to open in April.
He said he turned off after the trip bar, and ask my next stop. I said, If you can, next spring I will come to your bar. He does not smoke, so I have to restrain myself not to touch the bag, the packet of DHS.
The streets in Lhasa, you can find a lot of other cities is difficult to buy cigarettes. Such as Double Happiness, such as Jiao child. A friend told me I should easily out to buy cigarettes, because you are likely to buy low-quality cigarettes, smoke this cigarette, you will dizziness, or even vomiting.
And these strange travelers chatting, listening to music in Nepal. I am drunk at the inside of the travelers. Also drunk on this night.
