Lhasa to Gynatse, Tibet

We are on the road. Our destination is Everest Base Camp, its a 5 day round trip with stop at monstaries and other significant land marks along the way.
A couple of hours outside of Lhasa, we stopped along the Yamdroktso Lake. It is breath taking. The water is the color of turquoise and its magificant in how isolated and touched the lake is. You wish you could hike around the lake.
We stopped for lunch at this tiny town, one intersection and nothing more. A few Tibetians came into the resturant while we were in the middle of lunch, they saw Don, a foreigner, and one of the guys pulled out his cell phone and started to play Michael Jackson’s “Billy Jean.” We found ourselves quietly rocking out to the music as we slurp down our noodles. Not hearing English for days, “Billy Jean” suddenly became quiet comforting.

Here is the first official quote of endorsement for Wok the Dog
From Warren Belasco, Professor of American Studies University of Maryland Baltimore County, Editor, _Food, Culture and Society_

He is teaching a course about food right now and have been discussing meat-related issues in the couse. He has linked Wok the Dog to his course website.

“I do believe [Wok the Dog] is a powerfully compelling meditation on the boundaries we draw when it comes to deciding what to eat, as [it] force us to take a stand on a question that we’d rather just avoid. “
