  Yamdrok Lake, Tibet 

  Because there’s no constant flow of water in or out of the lake, it has this intense turquoise color to it. I’d love to visit Tibet someday, they have some of the stunning things in the world.

  According to one Chinese statistic I came across recently, Tibet imported ten million tons of tea annually from China before the invasion. This cannot possibly be true as it implies that every Tibetan drank almost two tons per year. The figure was obviously invented to try to prove Tibet’s economic dependence on China, but it does give an indication of our fondness of tea.
