... 1,000 rooms! The 5th DL moved here in 1649 (with his Gelugpa government) from Drepung, long after King Songsten Gampo built the original in the 7th century. The 5th DL died 12 years before completion of the Red Palace, where he was put to rest.

... ve went blocks and miles in the wrong direction with massive luggage just because people assumed "It's just down that way, I think." 2) Pizza Hut Everyone kept telling us, "Oh, Pizza Hut is crazy in Asia, it's super classy and fancy, you gotta try it!" So whatever, we gave it a go. I mean sure, it's fancy if you consider table cloths classy. But no free refills on soda? Defiantly unclassy. The side dishes were okay, but the pizza was godawful.

... years of the X-Files in Xian on the weekend and as it only cost around seven or so Aussie Bux I thought to myself, why not spend some time with Spooky Mulder and Scully the Skeptic.

... road or a tractor-like vehicle slurping about in the rice fields. We walked the 20 min. from the bus stop in the increasing heat and I was relieved that I had remembered my sun umbrella. It's a necessity here... The fires were going full tilt at the house - one in the kitchen for cooking and one in the tobacco drying hut. The wood fire must be kept going day and night during the drying season and Joyce's father sleeps ...

... get the pleasure of the company of other Westerners who all happen to be really great people. Upon our return home, we went out to dinner with the girls and our Foreign Affairs Officer Zoe and ran into some of other teachers/leaders from our school at the restaurant.
