Oooh Amritsar. Do you know how easy it is to meet and talk to monks? Very easy. just so you know. The place is crawling with them. But for some reason i can never find any Nuns to talk to. even though my entire research project was about nuns, the whole ship sank. As one of our guides put it... star crossed.
On the other hand. I've finally gotten on the role with meeting some of the locals with amazing stories about crossing the border and leaving their entire family, all alone with no passport or birth certificate. Kinda crazy i think.
One was telling me that he likes Tibetan music best. What kind i ask? Tibetan rick, hip hop. I'm going to find me some of that music and bring it home, i get such a kick out of it.
Oh yeah, ask me about seeing the Dalai Lama, haha. Kay, might see him again tomorrow, so i'm gunna wait on this one.
I'm pretty sleep deprived and tired, so this is by far the most half assed blog i have done, sorry :P

I was wondering if you'd get to see him or not! I was reading an article in the paper about some sort of anniversary thing and china trying to keep tibetians from rioting.. (made me sad) and how they'd not really increased foot patrol, even though it's pretty obvious that they did.. they're such liarfaces!!
ReplyDeleteAnd there was a some words from the Dalai Lama in there and I was like "OH he's in the same place lacey is, I wonder if she'll get to meet him!" and looks like you did YAY!!!
So happy for you, but I miss you come home soon hopefully
