May – June 2013
Intro
Tibet. Nepal. Bhutan. Another epic trip that I’ve dreamed of for years!
Tibet, I’ve wanted to see ever since I was a kid, hooked on Tintin comic books (especially ‘Tintin in Tibet’!). Nepal — thanks to ‘Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego’, I’ve always wanted to go to Kathmandu, as it seemed like she was always hiding there! Bhutan had fascinated me

Dhaka, Bangladesh (Jun. 2013) - #bangladesh`s iconic national assembly building in #dhaka, a masterpiece of modern #architecture, was designed by world famous #architect louis kahn in 1961. the complex, called `jatiya sangsad bhaban` in bengali, was completed 21 years later in 1982 🇧🇩
Gyantse, Tibet (May 2013) - snapped this peaceful photo of a young #tibetan man watching a herd of cattle, while we waited for hours on the highway to gyantse after our bus broke down at over 13,000 feet (4,000 meters!) - we were so high up, some people on the bus had to be put on oxygen until the new one arrived!
Lalung-La Pass, Tibet (May 2013) - tying my colorful #tibetan prayer flags at lalung-la pass at 16,570 feet (5,050 m) along the #friendship highway. #prayerflags are strung in the highest of places -- not so they reach up to `the gods` -- but rather, so that the blessings and goodwill are spread by the wind to the entire surrounding area below. they are a symbol of #peace, #compassion, #harmony, #wisdom and #strength. things this world desperately needs more of, especially now. #prayfororlando
