in shredded, bulky clothes, while the younger ones may have a monkey on a chain, it`s a
spectacle of great interest to the Tibetans. These beggars are professionals, having less
meritorious intentions than religious pilgrims. Just wave them off as the locals do if you

Tibet`s high altitude and the atmosphere allow the sun`s solar radiation to strike the

Calamine lotion is good for mild sun-burnt. Those with fair complexions should bring
reflective sunscreen with them. Apply the sunscreen to your nose and lips as well.
