Tibetan Night







When we arrived at our hotel is Wolong, we were greeted by two ladies dressed in a traditional Tibetan-looking costume. We all got a silk scarf and a little glass with liquor for a toast. That evening we also participated in roasting a whole sheep, made a fool of ourselves during karaoke, learned a few Tibetan folk dances, and tasted some more local strong drinks. Not a bad way to relax during the weekend.

Paul,
Your blog continues to be a great source of interesting experiences. You have embrassed China with such an openness and appreciation, I hope they don't decide to keep you as their world embassador though you could do the job very well.
I have two of your panda pics up in my cube. My work mates are getting a lesson on China and seeing it through your eyes.
Thanks a bunch,
Kathy Kennedy

Je papa heeft me je blog doorgestuurd. Hij maakt nogal reclame :-) Gelijk heeft hij want het is echt wel interesant wat je allemaal ontdekt op je missie.
En terwijl ook een manier om contact te maken.
