I hesitated before posting this comment, but I cant not post it: Mark, no matter where you are travelling or reporting from - I really love your videos and your attitude. The way you enjoy the food and how you share your experiences with us. It feels like we are there with you, enjoying the food, smelling it, which is really great. I am very lucky to be able to travel a lot myself, but many people are not that lucky, and thanks to you, they can travel virtually, which is amazing. Also, you are always very respectful of local culture, people, other religions etc. Always smiling, honest, friendly, respectul and non judgemental and the world honestly needs more people like you. Dont get me wrong - I love Tibet, I very much like Tibetan food like Momos and Thukpa, and I have met wonderful Tibetan people, in Tibet, in other areas of China, in Nepal, in India and Switzerland. But Tibet is not the paradise you make it sound like. Really horrible human rights abuses have been happening there since many years, and are still going on. Tibetan culture is often supressed, or kept mostly for touristic purposes. Freedom of speech and religion are none excisting. I know this is a forum about food, so I fully understand and appreciate that you dont want to talk too much about all those issues. And you have a Chinese run agent as a sponsor, so you can probably not afford to be critical at all. It just bothers me a lot that the picture you paint is very one sided. And people might get really wrong impressions about Tibet. And by the way - the 14th Dalai Lama is in exile in India since 1959. The real Panchen Lama is missing and presumed dead (assumed to have been killed) and the marionette Panchen Lama is just that - a marionette.

Its just funny seeing people yelling free Tibet when the truth is, when Chinese government took over Tibet, its still a slavery society. Everything you experience today, eating at restaurants, being able to visit the palace. all thanks to the rule of China. Even in this video, you see Chinese characters everywhere, and people talking in Mandarin in the background. Why intentionally ignore this?

Tibet is not and never be part of China. Tibetans will be happy in Tibet and Chinese will be happy in China. That's the key point. Tourism is other case. Now China is better give back our country and try to give ur own citizens a better democracy and basic needs. inatesad of making millions of debts to other nations. Free Tibet

I would like to extend heartfelt thanks for showing my homeland. Too much meat, we tibetans need to eat more vegs than meat. Earlier there was no veg available, so we are dependend on animal foods. Now time has changed and please less meat and more veg. By the way YAK is male and for female it is called ZOMO.
