 In
fornt of a monastery outside Lhasa monks have spanned enormous strings of
prayer flags all over the mountain flank - or perhaps even over the top. |

on their way to the market in Lhasa. |
 A way
to travel: Lay flat on the ground, get up, take a step and lay down
again. Honoring the former importance of the Potala Palace Tibettans
still do this; here at the bottom of the Palace hill. |
 Where
there used to be a beautifull natural lake there is now a square with a
fountain, in front of the Potala Palace. |
|
 While
walking around the Potala with Ziggy, and swinging all the prayer
wheels, these children took my hand and joined me. Ziggy got four too! |

 Monks
debating on he roof of the Jokhang temple. Clearly visible is the
handclap they make stressing their arguments. |
|
 On
our daytrip outside Lhasa we passed this primary school where the children
danced for us. After that they asked us to sing a song from our country... |
 A
delicacy sold on the night market in Lhasa: Rats heads. As one of the
many. Also seen: sheep brains, intestins, blood cake, deep fried
grasshoppers and spicy hot dogs - probably really made of dog. |
 Five
foreigners in Lhasa. Right to Left: Lars, Melvin, Ziggy, Donella and me. |
