These are pictures I took when visitng Tibet with my friend Seeta last year.

They show various aspects of Tibetan life:these are all from Lhasa.The pictures of large blocks looking like butter are indeed butter-Yak butter.As you can see the local butchers have no refridgeration system-so meat has to be sold and eaten quickly.

There is a picture of a Tibetan man on a rickshaw-for this he will probably earn less than 10 yuan a day (about 1 dollar fifty) per day.

Unloading lorries full of boxes for chinese owned shops (see picture) will earn a man 10 yuan, but prices to do this sort of work are going down as chinese immmigration and Tibetan unemployment increase.

The picture of two Tibetan women in traditional dress are making a pilgrimage to the Jokhang temple and around the Barkhor square.Chinese guards (in uniform or not) are everpresent-as are cameras in the famous Potala palace, where Tibetan guides or even our own Nepalese guide were unwelcme.
