Did you know that it is against the law to have a picture of the Dhali Lama in Tibet? You will get in big trouble if you have his picture....

When Andy was staying with the nomands, he opened one of his guide books, and showed them the pic of teh Dhali lama...they were so happy to see that picture, because, they in general, do not keep such a pic with them, fearing being caught by the Chinese, and subjected to Chinese penalties...They have to live there, so they try to stay out of trouble with the Chinese authorities...

I guess Andy figured, if he got caught, he could just plead ignorance about the law, tho I dont know if that would have worked...thankfully he was never caught....

it sounds insane to me
why arent the Tibetans allowed to have a picture of their Dalai Lama
maybe the Chinese government is just plumb out of its mind
