Lhasa, Tibet



Lhasa is divided into the Chinese quarter and the Tibetan quarter. I'm staying in the Tibetan part of the city which seems less glitzy and westernised than the the rest.

The city is 3700 metres above sea level. By the evening I have a thumping headache and am having trouble breathing, even though I have been drinking copious amounts of water. I'm forced to abandon my yak steak at Dunya restaurant, take some painkillers and go to bed.
