About My journey
Have a travel in Tibet is one of my dream. I lived in South America, since here are a lot of Chinese restaurants, I know a lot about China from them. China is a mystery country especially in Tibet. I wondered the local people there and mystery cultures. So I determined to be there. I have a 14 days vacation there, but I think that will be my permanent memory! I can't remember the detail places, but the sky and structures there are the most beautiful things in the world.

Preparation before the journey
As an American, I can't speak Chinese at all, let alone the local Tibetan. So, the most important thing is, we should buy a map which is marked in English. Second, we need a good quality flashlight, since the bus drove all the night, if we have no flashlight; it's very hard to find the way under your feet, when you get off the bus. Then, we should have a high quality camera, the scenery is so amazing, without a camera, we will regret for a life long time! Take a big coat with you, because of the high altitude, the temperature there is 12 centigrade lower than usual. Maybe you need a big backpack, because there are a lot of souvenirs waiting for you. Last, bring a big bottle of water with you, it's very hard to buy water on the way. Do you think all these small pieces are unwieldy? Yes, I think so. Fortunately, I find a online store which is located in Hong Kong and they have branches in California America. The customer representative told me, they can mail all these things to Tibet hotel directly, I think this news is great, so I selected all the necessities there, what's more, they are free shipping, they help me solve a big problem and save a lot of money. If you want to go Tibet, I hope this online store can do some help too. http://www.dinodirect.com
