The Next Morning
We did arrive, eventually. Of course we did. Shigatse, with a population of around 40,000 people the second largest city in Tibet. Erm, 40,000 people during the mid eighties of course. Have a look at those two Tibetan girls at the right hand side. Within a few days it turned out that many Tibetans were curious and unbelievably friendly. They laughed at our strange skin colour, some kids even wanted to touch us, we got invited for tea, food while traveling was shared, friendliness that just blew your mind away.
