Lhasa, Tibet

We've been in Lhasa for 4 nights now and I must say that it is a really amazing city! Definitely one of the top places so far.

The views are amazing, the people are very friendly, the culture is so great to watch. Pilgrims, temples, tibetan momo's (dumplings)....all really cool.

Here's a video of a pilgrim making his way around the Bakhor circuit on his way to Jokhang Temple. This temple houses the most sacred statue of Buddha (it's solid gold!), which was supposed to be blessed by Buddha himself. We weren't supposed to take a picture but I snuck one anyways.... Here it is....don't tell anyone....please!

Anyhoo...our overland trip is booked...can't wait. This is one of the things I wanted to do on this trip. Will have lots of pictures to show in a week or so.
