... Tibetan government. With museums and political groups devoted to "freeing Tibet" and assisting the refugees after their dangerous exile, there is a lot to learn there too. The museum within the Dali Lama's Monastery grounds is really not much to look at, but they did screen Frontline's Tibet episode from the early 90's (back when Free Tibet was "cool" and concerts and politics were devoted to it). The information is a bit ...

Hey Everyone, So I'm going to post a few shorter blogs, as we've been travelling around a bit and that way each place will show up on the map. The last time we left you we were in our last 2 days up in beautiful Dharamsala and I assumed that I had summed up all that we did and anything that could have happened. However, in true Indian spirit, the most exciting events happened in those last two days and on our way back from the mountains. We had told you of ...

... watch a border closing ceremony that takes place every night. I literally sat about 20 feet from Pakistan as huge crowds on both sides waved their national flags and shouted chants about their nation's greatness! It was way intense and awesome and I literally saw Pakistan! We then returned to the temple and spent the night in the "foreigners" sleeping section. The temple allows people to sleep there on a donate what you can basis in ...

... Diwali eve no one was really there except for us...so we danced with the DJ and two Tibetan men who showed us their moves. I was dancing with one and then out of the blue he picked me up and carried me around the room on his shoulders...AHH it was so much fun!!!!! We all had a great time! On Tuesday was Diwali and we basically just slept in and made breakfast for our flat. We made eggs with potatoes and then banana-chocolate chip pancakes. SO good. I ...

... the class that was to start 10 minutes later we decided to check it out. I spent the hour talking with a group of Tibetans about their experiences. All of the refugees I've spoken with have endured a 50 day walk out of Tibet; traveling in groups of 20-30 and only walking during the night. Many people leave their entire families behind to make the journey, and this seems to be the greatest hardship for many of them. Once they leave Tibet the Chinese government ...

... but a mosquito can not and is only trying to survive by having a drink of my blood! They made me feel so guilty, I felt so bad! I don't know if we have made much impact on them but they have on our lives.... yesterday i caught Helen chatting to an ant and escorting him out of the bathroom so she didn't have to kill him! Apart from teaching Helen and i have attended silver jewelery making classes, it's great fun but Helen and i are definitely the nonces ...

... colorful tailors shops- a group, many groups sitting on the floor with chai and conversation. I feel safe, though i'm probably not... whipping through this hazy indian air, bumping along as the valley spreads out under our tires. Wehn i was little, it was this kind of an evening when I thought i could fly...... I'm alone tonight, without the group, only with Raja steering in front of me, aksing questins about america because he ...

... some time chatting with them. There was also a Tibetan man who we chatted to and who showed us how our names are written in Tibetan! We visited the temple yesterday just in time for the mamouth dhal and rice lunch serving - hundreds of monks and Tibetans being served their lunch from THE biggest pan of rice we have ever seen. They had to load it into buckets in order to go round and serve people. Today, as I'm sure you all know at home (and as it would be easy for us to ...
