I find the people of Tibet very interesting. We have visited two cities, one with a mixed ethnicity and one mostly if not all Tibetan. The people of the rural city (Tagong) lead harsh lives by out standards. They use coal or wood for heat in there homes without venting the fumes to the outside. They only heat one or two rooms and the rest of the house is pretty much at the outside temperature. These are a tough and hearty people who don't complain and just take on their live mostly cheerfully. Their clothing is sometimes drab and sometimes very colorful with the reds, yellows and more that we have become accustomed to seeing with Tibetan people. The mixed city (Kangding) has a rich Tibetan culture with shops, resturants, and people everywhere. I didn't see how the mixed city people lived but I witnessed Tibetan performers singing and dancing. The voices and dress of these people was stunning and amazing. There performances are something we all should experience as it is something one will never forget. I hope somehow through travel, the internet, or perhaps tibetan communities in our country all of us can experience these people.
