The trip started in Shanghai with some great bargains. Then we took the plane to Tibet to dive into another world. While our cap driver left us at Ganden monastery we were lucky enough to be able to join a pilgrim group back to Lhasa. Taking the new train from Lhasa to Beijing for 48 hours the last part of the trip began. Living in a real hutong I could get around the city and just with a piece of paper (and a bit of luck) to the great wall.

I traveled alone at this point. I wasn't really scared, because I think think Suren and my parents prepared me for what I was to expect from the locals. Beijing is pretty safe, but I think they were worried about Xi'an. I think my purpose to travel is to reflect and on my life and my path. With tha…
