Around Lhasa

Day 163
Lhasa

We were supposed to go to Potala palace today (Dalai Lama winter residency), but to go there our agency had to book the tickets, which was not possible for today. Finally we got booking for tomorrow and today just walked around the old area, had lunch in our favorite place in the center (food for 5 for 65 Yuan, with lots of meat, dumplings, rice and mushrooms) and later played “Age of Empires” in the hotel room :DDD

This is an another Buddhist practice (sorry,forgot the name ) - people pray and lay on the ground, then stand, pray and lay again...Our Chinese friends told us, that some people can do it during long time, like even 1 year time, going from one point of the country to another and then getting to Tibet, to the Temple,where they finish their spiritual trip...



Btw, today also, we discovered, that the back entrance of our 4 stars hotel is actually a some kind of "Massage,bath and Special service" place haha
