The dream-like Temple

One man and his bird.

Vegetarian lunch at Wen Shu monastery:
Chris (my host).

Modern China: Suchuan City Centre...

...Where Mao is as omnipresent as ever.

An impromtu photo by Chris. The food...ah,
the food...

Flying from Suchuan to Lhasa.

One of the many vendors outside Jokhang
Temple in the main square, Lhasa.

Me in Singapore flares in Lhasa. They caused
so much abject hilarity amongst the locals that I was forced
to take 'em off...designer-tatty ends 'n' all. Would like
to point out that I'm not actually pregnant: was wearing a
thick cardigan around my waist as it got very cold in the
Temples - truly! Nice windows, though...

Tin Tin - sorry, Chris, in Tibet:)

Yak fat candles in front of Jokhang Temple,

5,000 metres up the Himalayas...

...where we encountered a small group of
nomads.

Prayer flags at Nam Tso Lake.
