Less than a year since visiting Lhasa, the city has been turned upside down. I am posting these photos to give you some perspective of a normal day..... people going about their business, shopping, praying, buying french fries, selling their wares, talking to strangers, doing all the necessary things that people do everyday just to survive and live. It only took a short visit to comprehend that Tibetan life is difficult...... and now, more so thanever.

Can't believe this is the first time I've found your blog. (Discovered you through Mimi's blog). You and I share the same passions - namely, travel and food. And photography.
I've never been to Tibet. I'll be going back to India soon, but not to Tibet. The whole situation there is heartbreaking.
Very nice photos, Jann, especially the one with you and the kid.
I too love Asia. My heart is with Myanmar right now. Have you been to Penang Malaysia yet for the food? You will die happy.
what a great post, Jann! Thank you for sharing these.
Beautiful photos, Jann.
It's amazing what can change in a year. :(
Thank you for sharing these photos, and reminding us that Tibet is such a beautiful, peaceful country.
How wonderful to have been able to visit. Maybe, someday...
That area has always intrigued me... but it's so far... And mon mari hates to fly!
I think the photo with the child says it all.
Fun website. I'll be back.
