To Tibet or not to Tibet?
We were actually planning to start our trip with a nicely prepared visit to Tibet. Unfortunately Swiss Newspaper NZZ (and some others) reminded us that politics still plays a role when you plan your trips. Even if we wanted to risk a little adventurous “Chinese Army Sightseeing” trip, they would just not allow us to enter the country. We’ve paid our flights, a driver, hostels, etc. and still we won’t be able to go to Tibet - that sucks! Surely this is not the only concern one could have about Tibet these days but I’m not going to make statements related to politics / conflicts on this blog because I think that there’s too much room for misinterpretation.
We have finally I’m currently trying to figured out where else to go and how we could possibly get at least SOME money back. I’ll update this post as I have news on where to find us during the next weeks. because we are lucky enough to get almost all our money back. We decided to extend our stay in Beijing for a few days and then go straight to Hong Kong, where we were supposed to go after visiting Kathmandu. Our trip could then either will then be continued to Bangkok and later to or Manila It all depends on because we could match our trip with our friend’s schedule because he was supposed to who will take us around his home country.
