Last night we wandered over to one of the main monastaries. Lhasa is a pilgrimage site and many folks make a kora and walk in a circle around the main monastary. Folks are in the traditional Tibetian dress and walk around with their prayer beads and prayer wheels. We had supper at a cafe on the roof so we could see folks doing the kora and also the surrounding mountainside. It is a bit difficult to communicate and not speaking any of the language is a bit embarassing but I'll learn a few phrases. Reini and I checked our oxygen saturation today as there is one in the office and it was 92% and 91% respectively, its normally is 100%, we feel fine.
There is a strong Chinese military presence here and we are monitored including all emails, etc... So please use caution in what you write back.
Time to do some work.
