Tibet
This will be a very short post, as two palaces in the city of Llasa await our arrival.
The Tibet opportunity arose, and we simply couldn't resist. We'll only spend a couple of days in the ancient and mysterious city of Llasa, but we had little difficulty measuring the the worth.
The people are incredibly friendly. Some of the Tibetens speak excellent English, so conversing with them has been a great experience. They, like the Chinese, are vigorous hagglers. I spent twenty minutes negotiating with a street vendor over some fake jewelry. We finally came to an agreement, with both parties exhausted, gratified, and relatively pleased.
I'll post some pictures tonight or tomorrow.

"drum drum drum drum" (sound of fingers drumming a laptop in eager anticipation).
Patience my good friend. We just arrived in Bangkok, where hopefully I'll finally have an opportunity to write and post copious amounts of pictures.
Later
