Auto Stop around China - Part 10 - Reflection time




07.07.2010

So with the car we move into small Tibetan village...Streets are really narrow, small houses, some new but the most are really old. It is already dark, and there are almost no people on the streets. It is a great feeling now, all windows of the car is open, there is a great music, and in the air is amazing fresh feeling and small of the romantic night, last sun is still warming the feeling around. It feels that you have entered the past, past times...
We arrive at a small old house from wood and enter it...I am greeted by old lady, that is the mom of the driver, father is not here as i get to know later they are divorced.
After greeting I get the best place in the house, next to fireplace. Now i can look around and see the house. All house is made from wood and you know what? There is no electricity today, so we light the candles. This old house, some spider web, amazing people around, smell of Tibetan tea and color of candles...This is something amazing, something so romantic and great feeling for heart. There are pictures of holy persons around and in the main place picture of DalaiLama, who is forbidden in China, and only for this one picture you can get many troubles.

We have a dinner in candle light, and then I get to know that my driver is actually a very famous Tibetan singer and he is exactly going from concert now to visit his mother and then after he is moving to his home city Chengdu. So I am asking him to sing some songs for me... And he starts with small, Tibetan guitar...Now this old and small house is full of sounds of Tibetan music and voice of great person. Eyes of people sparkle in candle light, that are sitting all shoulder to shoulder next to fireplace...We drink tasty Tibetan tea and enjoy the music... This is something that You will never get in any tourist package...This is something that you can experience only if you are brave enough to get off the beaten path and Live on the edge...

After we go to sleep and have amazing conversation about Tibet (it is confidential for written in blog but if you are interested send me message - pavelgumennikov@gmail.com); It was a really amazing conversation about Tibet and everything around it.
