"The trip to Tibet"

I traveled in Tibet for the first time at the summer vacation of university . The bus which is likely to break is taken one whole day and night, it crosses desolate highlands, and, even now, I am not forgotten in the surprise when arriving in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, at last.@

Potala Palace (Dalai Lama's palace) seen for the first time was shining greatly beyond anticipation. Henceforth, although I traveled in various foreign countries, it was less than the impression when arriving in Lhasa for the first time.

Then, I extended my trip also to the nomadism division in East Tibet or northeast Tibet, having read the book written about old Tibet, such as Mr. Kazumi Nishikawa's writing, and swelling imaginative power.

Tibet was invaded by China and 40 years or more have already passed.

Externally, the figure of Tibet in which it was written to such an old book has already been lost. However, if associates with Tibetans for a while, I can think that the base of the moral structure rooted in Buddhism has not changed.
