After that, we got a train ticket to lasa Tibet!
389 yuan (=40€).Hard seater.
Seats are not so hard but 48 hours seat it's lil' bit hell!!
No permits are asked in the railway station, even in the train and in Lasa!

The West train station of BeiJing:

And in the train...

View from the train (between Xi'an and Golmud):

2kids, Yuya from Japon and Tibetan girl:

We met Yuya in the train, he was travelling alone and looking like chinese people, but he did not know mandarin!

So it was little bit hindering for him!

Once we got Golmut, people were differents and we knew that we were going in a unknow Country...

Yak's smell, Tibetan people with tradional clothes...

Grand'Pa and Grand'Ma sleeping in the back. A mum with her baby in front:

Crazy kid playing with water...

View from the train, the beggining of Tibet...

We were just enjoying the view, the nose on the windows!

Watching some backwater...

Afterward, it was forbiden to take pictures.
Inside, people are praying every where, The Lamas are reading books and there is like 10 tombs (tombs of dalai lamas) made by gold and one tomb it's nearly 3000kg of gold! Guang Lei told me: "one Potala can change one Shanghai"...when you get inside, you understand why...!

This is the 4x4 we rented for 3 days...Trip in the Himalaya:

You just have to enjoyed the view...

Second day: 8km walking until the Everest base camp:

Here, it's Mont Everset. The top is 8848m! we were walking on 5500m!

Yuya (duo shao qian?...Tai gui le!...he'll anderstand!...flip flop and 200 yuan!!!):

Where the hell do you wanna go?

Third breackdown...look at the wheel!

(the first was the choc absorber and the second one, we just lost a hudge piece of metal!)

I met them when I was walking alone..)

The Yety cave...!

During the first night, around -5°C in the room:

Yaks...realy good food!

Mont Everest on the back:

view from a peak...the hudge one is Everest...

Some kids...

Tibetain toilet...I'm telling you, you just give a quickly shit and you get out of there...smell is hell!

Last day in Lasa, afterward Yuya went to Chengu, Alex and I to Xi'an

No pictures from Xi'an...the cause is I did not enjoyed Xi'an. Xi'an is just a tourtist attraction.

And Chinese were in holiday...so imagine 1.3 billion chinese in Holiday...people every were!

The muslim quarter of Xi'an was great: lot of meat and cookies...One Mosque realy beautifull and the quarter is very popular...but for me, that it for Xi'an.
