So I finally managed to get to Tibet. The first impression is amazing. Arrival in the mountains, the airport bus which stops outside the Potola, center of town around the temple and Jongking pilgrimage route around it. Anyway I've never felt a true city, beautiful and with much fervor in China. Unfortunately as the days are beginning to understand China's strategy for this province, ie, circle Lhasa into a city Chinese as commonplace as the others, bringing massive Chinese tourists and that the Tibetans are becoming a majority among them, make downtown a kind of Disneyland or Chinese tourists scramble as in all other tourist sites in China and do a real occupation of the country (region). To say I will not even visit the Potola. Plus it's hard to leave Lhasa for he needed permits and going through an agency which is controlled or subject to government and this is not how I plan the trip. So after having understood it, I do what I can with another French; we walk in the mountains around Lhasa is already great smile and Tibetans, a people who suffered so much because the thing into perspective and gives us a good lesson. That, despite these happy little notes, I am very happy to be here to see the situation closely and enjoy these magical landscapes. ps: the camera is the English TV, I say shit on the Chinese policy, a brief urge to taste the top of the world's prisons, but so far no good news.
