So I am seriously considering Lhasa in June. I haven't decided on the route yet, whether to go through Beijing, Hong Kong, or maybe Chengdu. I'd probably choose Kathmandu if I could, but as it is this is going to cost me almost 5K.

It was Lhasa or Jordan and everyone looks at me like a freak when I tell them I'm going alone. My parents are acting like I'd never come back from either. I mean, c'mon, it's Tibet! The scariest thing I'll have to deal with in Tibet will be a rogue yak (or hemorrhaging to death from the altitude)! But I really want to be here and here.

It'll be my pilgrimage.

What do you think?
