These "Hell Bank Notes" are laid at the tomb or burned so that the deceased can use them to buy things in the afterlife.

Lots of traditional homes.

Thankfully there's a hotel here that has a Western style breakfast buffet.

The mountain is always an incredible sight.

I guess I understand...

I guess "smokeapea" is a local practice that we haven't had the opportunity to try yet.

One of our friend's parents were visiting from the U.S. so we all went up the mountain on a gondola.

The tube ride was fun!

We weren't prepared for the 16,000 feet climate. Justin was wearing a t-shirt, windbreaker and some really thin pants.

This is one of the many glaciers on the mountain.

It was a little scary at times.

Just waiting on the cows.

There was a traveling market set up by our school. It's kind of like a fair. This is the fried food booth. I had a chicken leg that was really good. They didn't have fried Twinkies though.

This guy is really nice. He's always on our college campus but we don't know why because his accent is so thick that we can't understand him. I showed him this picture and told him that he looked handsome. He replied that he isn't because he doesn't have any teeth.
Posted by Hello

Yum! Ok, a little greasy, but these noodles are probably our favorite food here.
Posted by Hello

This is a basket that lots of people here wear to the market. Yeah, it's a little silly, but how would you like someone putting a 5 pound piece of raw meat in your backpack or purse?
Posted by Hello

Dang, they've got lots of watermelon here right now. They're pretty good too.
Posted by Hello

We don't see many cows as healthy as this around here. And not many dairy cows either.
Posted by Hello

Just some people sitting on the corner knitting and such.

This is Hope and her mother. Ok, so you can't really see her, but I promise that she's there.

There are two busses that meet half way between two towns. One of the busses is much bigger than the other, so there are usually not enough seats on one of them when the passengers make the switch. Here we have a couple of people fighting to get on the bus first.
Posted by Hello

If this isn't the dumpiest bus you've ever seen, I'll apologize for giving it the credit. The inside is much worse.

This apple orchard was really pretty. It's just blooms right now

One of our friends who is an English teacher.

Here we have a really friendly and well meaning fellow preparing for us some yak butter tea. It's really hard to swallow it and smile at the same time but we try our best.
Posted by Hello

This cook was trying to decide on a few chickens to prepare for our lunch.
Posted by Hello

This guy was selling something that resembled donuts. They were pretty good!
