There was a delay in the approval of the official documents. I went down to the police station to talk to the chief and after explaining my background, he approved it finally! We are so ready to go to the West of Tibet. However, due to the dlay, we have to make arrangements to set of a few days later. So Ollie (my good friend from Belguim) and I decide to take a look at one of the lengendary holy lake near Lhasa, known as Namusto Lake, 娜木措.Had a bad incident alone the way. We were extorted some money by the local tibetan kids when we were taking photos. They insisted that we took photos of their holy symbol (a goat head lying on the floor) so we have to pay them 60 yuan. That is about 12 dollars and they were really firece. We had to pay up because they blocked the vehicle and barged into the van and nearly fought with us. The driver paid up and we had to return the driver the money. So it goes to show that there are always good and bad people around. Just have to be careful.
Anyway, Namutso Lake is really beautiful. i think the picture speaks louder......than words.
