Snow! One hour of white fun!       Oct.28th, 2013

Contrary to our imagination, there is little snow near Lhasa, and it only arrives in fall and spring when there is more humidity. There is more snow in other areas of Tibet (near a student's home in NaQu, for example), but the Lhasa river valley is very dry.
Here are photos of the one exciting day.

 View of the neighbourhood beside our campus; typical Tibetan cityhouses - all joined together, all with courtyards with kitchen in seperat building by the frontdoor; foot of the mountain behind them.
