Free Tibet !

We are leaving tonight, going to a town called Manali, another hippie hang out town, with a lot of outdoor activities, like rafting, zorbing ( you being thrown out on the mountain in a big hamster ball), etc. We're going overnight, 10 hours ride, so we can sleep in the bus. It's a deluxe bus, not at all what you would think with our western standart. We almost saw the dalai lama this morning. Yes, almost. We missed him. Everyone started running and we thought someone had gotten killed but no, his holiness was coming out. Tinted windows and police escort, mind you. We went to the movies last night, we saw "Che" and it sucked. The theater is the basement of a grocery store, pretty cool. He also does the subtitles himself so if you don't speak english and you read the subtitles it doesn't make sense at all. The subtitles are so far from what the people actually say, words are missing, when they speak too fast, nothing was even writen, so funny. We almost wanted to go back today but we'd rather enjoy the mountain air...and go shopping. We just did our duty, we bought a free tibet shirt, the national cause around here, and a sticker, for the fridge. We saw 2 short films in a restaurant last time and it is really disturbing to see what those people really had to go through, so now we totally back it up.
I hope you are all doing well. Can everyone please tell me if you received the post cards I sent ?
