Expectations

During my travels to Asia, I hope to have a travel experience that feels foreign. Beyond that, here are my top ten anticipated highlights:

--Beijing: Forbidden City, Great Wall
--Xian: Terracota Warriors
--staying with rural Tibetan family on Yellow River
--seeing Lhasa, gaining insight into its history during the past 100 years, seeing the Potala Palace
--seeing Everest
--(trying to) sleep at Rongphu Monastery at 15,000 feet altitude
--gaining insight into spiritual understanding of Tibetans
--visiting the headwaters of the Ganges River
--trekking in the Himalalyan high country in India
--#10, meeting some different people I can think of as new friends
