我的西藏天路旅

It's been quite a while since I updated here...

Lots and lots of things happened during this period... some good, some bad... some unexpected too...

Anyway, I am just back from a great break from a great place, a place which I think one should be at least once in a lifetime - Tibet (西藏). Great place for scenery, good weather during summer (cool @ 17~25 deg C)... breath-taking...

Spent about 12 days there, not on back-packing though, but on a package tour. Good to get a glimpse of what Tibet is all about, and the next time I will definitely be on a back-packing route there. Got to know a lot of interesting facts about Tibetan way of life, culture, beliefs, etc.

Also, fate has brought an additional 13 more people into my social circle - got to know 13 more friends of the tour group I'm in. Though most of them are uncles and aunties (all but 3, 2 of who is slightly older than me, but still considered a youngster and 1 young girl), but they brought with them lots of fun and laughter for the trip.

What's thrilling for me is how big the place is, one can see the land and sky meet at the horizon, as far as the eyes can see... magnificent!

Took a lot of photos, and had a hard time choosing which to show. But still managed to do that:
