Tibetan Culture

 
Tibetan houses all look exactly the same - 2 levels with massive wooden posts. They put rocks on the roof to keep the shingles in place. Interesting. Is it because rocks are free and nails aren't?

 
I wish I had one of those furry hats. I was completely unprepared to be in sub-zero temperatures. I wore every single piece of clothing I had with me. None of the buildings have insulation, so it's just as cold inside as it is outside. I would've frozen to death were it not for the electric heating pads they use to keep warm at night.
