TIbetan Love

Lately I've heard alot about Tibet and considering how close it is to Kathmandu, only a 4 or 5 hour drive, I really want to go.

Today we visited the largest Stupa or Buddhist temple in Kathmandu and walking around the little shops that surrounded it I was in awe. The intricate Tibetan souvenirs were so cool (I tried really hard to find another word to describe it but I was taken in by their cool-ness!). So I stumbled upon these antique, hand painted wooden chests and jewelery sized boxes and pretty much fell in love. Unfortunately for me they cost over AUD$1000, but the man assured me that it would only cost an additional USD$400 to have it flown over to Australia.

Haha, yep...he totally convinced me...I'm just going to start saving my rupees right now...
