I found Tibet an interesting place to visit. With the political situation, which was quite evident while we were there, it makes it a little difficult to get people to open up to you. The temples were amazing, the food was not that good, and the people were guarded. It was a different trip. I haven’t written much about it at all. I guess I should do that.
I have posted some photos:

Have you been to Tibet?
Calling all Travel Bloggers! Don’t forget to link up with
Weekend Travel Inspiration!
Linkups start first thing Saturday morning! We’d love to see some of your great posts and photos there!
I’m really set on making it for this weekend’s travel inspiration series… Waiting for the cue, hope i have something worthy to share.
Jameela, Yay! It’s open on Saturday morning.
It looks beautiful! And it would be really interesting to read more about your experiences there, as I don’t often come across many blog posts about Tibet.
Shikha, Tibet was beautiful…and interesting!
So cute 🙂
I have been to Tibet – it’s a long, long story involving floods and landslips which will appear in the blog some day.
Anabel, I can’t wait to read it! That sounds like my kind of story.
This photo is so interesting. I have never been to Tibet, but it always looks colourful, cold and filled with interesting animals.
Rhonda, I don’t know about filled with animals. They have yaks. That’s all I saw. I did think they were pretty cool. It was cold, and it’s a strange place. I have mixed feelings about it.
I like that yak! We didn’t see anything that decorated while we were there. I also haven’t written much about our few days in Tibet. We were so hammered by altitude sickness that it cast a pall over the entire visit. Still, I need to get around to putting my thoughts down so I don’t forget them.
Michele, I know. We were all sick the first few days as well. Then to make matters worse the very first night the hotel was freezing, no heat.
I absolutely loved Tibet. So much in fact, that I am planning to go back there next year. This time I will be in the East so I am expecting it to be easier than Lhasa.
Jennifer, Me too! It was an interesting mix of cultures, beautiful, but barren landscapes, and the people were all smiles!
