What a laugh today. No kids, just teacher training. Their faces were such a picture. I do not think they have ever had any training, well not like we did it. Communication, Imagination, Enquiry and Creativity. IT was brilliant. We even gave them a parachute to play with (see pics).
After our morning at School, we walked to Norbulinka (Tibetan Institute) OMG it was so peaceful. We could have spent hours there. I purchased a few braclet's for Ellen and Abbey that have been blessed by the Dalai Lama, they should bring them, peace, joy, happiness, good luck and long life. Dogs wander everywhere and this freaks Janet out. She flaps here arms round and rushes off, the dogs love it and chase her. It is so funny, but she is frightened. She needs to watch the dog whisperer. A puppet was following us and he was acted just like Oscar, I wanted to stroke him but I am paranoid that I will get bit and I didn't have the rabies jab LOL.
On the way back to our Hotel we saw a sign for Song for Tibet concert up the road at the Tibetan Institute for Performing Arts. 150 rupees a bargin, so off we went. I would not say we were the only westerners but we were definately the minority. It was like a cross between Britain's got Talent and the Euro vision Song contest, Miss Tibet was even there. We didn't understand a think that was being said or sung but it was wonderful. The tunes the melodies were fantastic, we are going to but the CD today. We trotted down the mountain in the pitch black ( I had my torch) with dozens of monks and teenagers, families and oldies. Lovely evening.
At 4am I was woken by horrendous rain and lightening storm, it was amazing to watch as I lay in bed listening to Janet's snoring (I think theres an avalanche heading for me every night).
