After a wonderful week in Chengdu, my friend Random Sam convinced me to buy a plane ticket to Tibet. Since I was coming to the end of my trip, money was low…but I did it and it was worth every penny. Unfortunately Random’s visa ran out and he left only days after arriving, but with my newly made friends I traveled to the country-side, made friends with local tibetans, ate lots of yak, and prayed at every temple we came across.
