Fulbright India Update

I spent a week in Lhasa with Tsegi, a friend from Goshen College. 

Gyatso was my travel agent, a good friend of Tsegi's and an awesome chef! 

Here Tsegi is holding her niece. 

Tanzing teaching me how to play snooker.

This is the breathtaking view from Tibet University! 

Stacey is studying at Tibet University. She participated in sports day, running the relay race. 

I was forced to sing in a cafe in Lhasa! 

Here Tsegi is sneaking in through the window of her office to show me around. 

The white cloths are draped over as a sign of respect. You can also bring butter to add to the lamps. 

This is Annabella. She came along with us on our trip out of Lhasa. 

We climed a while to get up here. 

Here are Tsegi, Stacey and Lei. Those are prayer flags behind them. 

Here we are, Tsegi and I. I think this is in Lhoga (spelling?)

Aerial view of mountains through the clouds! 

This is the view from my hotel in Kathmandu. I was there for a few days on my way to and back from Tibet. 

Here's Bijaya, a Nepali singer who's spent the last something-teen years in Boulder, Colorado. We got to make some music together, and I heard his album that will be coming out this month. 

This is Ethan, a very tall guy from Georgia who I met in Kathmandu. 

Seema and I took a little trip up to Mussoorie one weekend. It was lovely. 

This is me at the Woodstock School after the Human Resources woman urged me to send in my resume and assured me that I'd be hired in July as music teacher if I'd agree. 

Seema, my Fulbright friend, has done a lot of work for this woman, Janet (next to husband) and since they have a cabin in Mussoorie, we visited them while we were there. 

Here are some lovely ladies we met. One from Texas with a heavy accent and the other from Ethiopia. 

Here I am with Rashid Khan, eminent vocalist of the Rampur-Seheswan gharana, and his nephew, my friend Nadeem Khan.
