We decided to do our longest ride yet...145km worth from Amdo to Nagqu...one rather large tibetan town to the second largest city in all of Tibet. The rides in tibet have been much more spectacular and interesting in comparison to our rides in the Qinghai province (although historically all of this land is Tibet). New experiences include:

-monasteries

-tibetan horse races

-tibetan parties

-the first shower & bath of the trip

-joining up with our guide and driver (required by chinese law in tibet)

-finally being allowed to play basketball at a police station


more to come in the very near future...

Update?
Hey, where are those updates? It's been half a month. You are home right now, aren't you? I might have to try another call to the Tibetan plateau. Finals come up for me on Friday, and I have a test tomorrow afternoon (which frankly has me angered beyond reason at the moment). Nothing too exciting here. You?
