Tashi delek!--and don't forget to do your homework
For those who happen to be browsing these pages (and for those of us, myself included, who may need occasional reminders), I offer the following:Bring some patience. Things don't work here like they do at home--wherever home may be. If you're from the US (in particular), the whole notion of time is often quite different and not at all what you may be used to. Bring some generosity of spirit. To Tibetans, if you come from almost anywhere else, you come from a rich country. A little reading on your part before you come is highly recommended: the culture is fascinating. Tibet is primarily a Buddhist country and religion permeates life. Their entire world view is markedly different from what many of us in the West are familiar with. Finally, don't forget those two most important items: an open mind and an open heart. If you bring these, you cannot help but have a wonderful time.Tashi delek...
