[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Eggs for sale in the "Tibetan quarter", where the Tibetans have been herded together to live. Life is simple for the Tibetans. They cannot afford to buy cars or shop in the huge Chinese stores. They are stocked with everything possible. There are even "exit" signs posted, when leaving.

Hi Gloria

Love the note and the picture. Its quite revealing how people are leaving in their own land. Its ironic where humans and humanity has no value there they organizing an Olympic game, a game of communal peace and harmony.


Regards,

Lopshang.

DannyOzzie,

How did you come with up with such a LIE? If anyone is treated as slave today, it is of Tibetans inside Tibet by the Chinese government.

Don't come with lies when you know nothing about the history.

I guess the shopkeeper is a muslim because there are many muslim living in Tibet. Under Dalai Lama's rule, humans and humanity indeed has no value. Their law says: value of a slave is equal to a rope. That means if a slave master kills a slave, he only need to compensate a rope. Now this has been completely changed. The slaves become rulers, the then rulers have escaped to India.

Surrealist:

I didn't tell any lie here. It's true. Most of top Tibetan officials were slaves before. Noone is slave today. I was talking about the time under Dalai Lama's rule.

I definitely know Tibet much better than you.
