Well and Truly 2016

It’s well and truly next year! First I thought, I can’t wait for 2015 to be over, but then I stopped myself. The faster next year comes, the sooner I’ll be in the grave. So I want time to go more slowly, not faster. And one way to make time pass more slowly is always to look at something new.

Like this monastery we visited yesterday, Song Zan something, in Shangri-la, also known as Diqing, also known as Kham, a part of Tibet until someone decided that it wasn’t Tibet anymore. But as the Canadian we met on a bus who had been two days in China could inform/lecture us: Although it’s Yunnan, there’s a lot of Tibetan influence.

I think everybody should aim this year for acting like the cross- or should I say individually flamboyant- dresser above. So what if the fashion for men in Song something monastery, or rather, lamasery, is maroon robes. Style is style!

西藏 – Sai Jeung (Tibet)
好有型 – Hou yau yeng (stylish)
加拿大 – Ga La Dai (Canada)
