Great Writeup and Pics
I am really moved by your write up on your trip to Tibet. I just came back from Tibet just 3 weeks ago and the place still holds dear to me. I was lucky enough to see the place before the Qinghai Tibet railway operated. I really like your prose. This is what travel blogging is all about. It's nice to read such a moving article every now and then. P/s: The picture u took with 2 girls at Namsto; i have a photo of one of them!

you have a beautiful mind...
Dear crow, after reading this blog on Tibet, there's a huge impulse for me to go to some place where there is no trace of a human-been...and just enjoy the nature itself in its solitude. the first place that pop into my mind is the top of the mountains in (and beyond) north van...but! all the snow has not melted yet...even in this hot weather (ya we reached almost 30 degree C)... well, the mountain should be cleared of snow by Augest, we will probably hike up Crown Mt. and camp at its peak, it's gonna be great... oh ya, you are in Bejing now? how is it? Blog it blog it blog it :D

Deeply Mooving
The feelings inside are confusing right now. This is perhaps one of the most important topics I can talk to you about. I can only wait until I get back to Beijing. I cannot express it right now.
