Tibet is the land of sharp contrasts religious, political and natural. We were enchanted by the splendor of nature, and without words in front of the majesty of Everest, but we have physically suffered its devastating strength. There is silence and the singing / prayer of a lonely monaco, but we were perplexed in the face of the amount of money that they handle with care "bank". We were approached by Tibetan children beautiful, taciturn and greedy chocolate with their empty plastic bottles under his arm which is not even under cederebbero blackmail (DVD Bartering has tried without success). We were approached by adults from curious individuals (us) clothes clumsily monobrand intent to photograph the impossible. These Tibetans physically hardened by the sun appeared as we are representatives and witnesses real, they will, of a people who in the silence and indifference of all're gradually disappearing. We then crossed the Chinese military in their uniforms too long sleeve zealous check passports and remember, so physical but silent, that the land that was hosting it is called China. We have finally seen a huge Potala, but sadly crushed under the weight of its political affairs.
Despite these contrasts Tibet can not be neglected nor forgotten and we are very happy not to have done.
