... Kip Tika Massala met naan; heerlijk na het Yak geweld van de afgelopen dagen! Na het avondeten ben ik van het Tibetaanse gedeelte naar het Chinese gedeelte van de stad gelopen om de laatste stralen zon tegen de bergen te zien ondergaan.

There was an earthquake in Nepal the other night. Felt it here but no damage, hoping the aftershocks will be over before we get there.

Cheers Allan

Lhasa or Bust

... British women again and ask her to please translate. The Chinese woman with the Brits very grudgingly agreed, saying “Jesus Christ!” in an exasperated voice under her breath as she passed by.
