dinuovo Here I am, after almost a month ... due to the earthquake in Taiwan first I could not update the blog, internet and in asia 'er rhyming planted a long time ...
Then, from Dali in Yunnan, where I celebrated Christmas on the streets with thousands of Chinese who seemed to celebrate the carnival + the way they were dressed up for Christmas and where Fabio joined me (call me Australia and tells me I'm wrong here brother, who wait in a couple of days I'm coming with you in Yunnan and Tibet) Christmas present, more 'thanks to Darius I could see Anna and my after three months (now) another nice gift, thanks Dario ...
However, I said: I moved from Dali Zongdian to about 3,400 meters above sea level and stayed there for a while to get acclimated before groped it difficult to get to Lhasa by land, against all odds' (according to all was impossible to do, people will say, and 'full of snow at 5,400 meters and the steps are not viable, you'll never get permission from the Chinese and all the agencies that we felt were of the same opinion ...)
to the bus station the only words in English that the cashier was able to say to the question: x Lhasa? were: Yes, three days and three nights, 580 yuan .... Any other questions could not answer, of course we take the flight tickets and the next day .. way to Lhasa
E 'was an epic journey of adventure, the bus was huge but the most expert guides him through the streets iploti impossible with countless gullies, rocks, ice, snow ... like a bicycle, also thanks to them and I really mean, just because of them we spent countless check points (I counted at least 20) without any problem even if we did not have permission ...
Lhasa immediately impresses with its Chinese character, but just go into the Tibetan quarter of the Barkor to fall in love with the people who populate the streets ...
The Chinese in Tibet in recent years have been really busy Lhasa to make more and more 'like a Chinese city suburb with huge squares where stands the flag with the star, building up huge blocks of houses with the usual anonymous hotel housing above shops soto , reducing entire neighborhoods to build Tibetan crumbling roads and huge ... reducing the Potala to a state of coma controlled ... and inspires a constant fear in the population of Tibet ... exiling the Dalai Lama in India ...
Speaking Tibetans breathe an air of resignation and sadness ...
After I moved to Tibet to Nepal (where I am now) more land along the Friendship highway (which highway in name only)
The landscape changes a lot when you enter in Nepal ...
The smells of excrement, fruit, grass, hashis, poverty ... mix to incense the streets of Thamel (the upscale neighborhood in Katmandu ')
The country seems to have just emerged from a civil war, in fact clashes with the Maoists have subsided a few days thanks to an agreement with the government, people and 'happy ... intervals in the current missing in the whole city 'because of insufficient capacity' of the central ... the day I arrived the Maoists had blocked all access roads with barricades and fires ...
Well enough is enough ... I leave you the photos speak better than me ....
most thrilling kisses and thanks for the nice comments ...
