About Me
- Zitamonkey
- I currently live in Tibetan refugee settlement in the south of India . You need a special permit from the Indian government in order to stay here given that it’s a protected territory. I do not have this paper. I applied for it over 2 months ago and have not received it yet. The police are pretty strict on this, and it is one of the rare things where a bribe will not really help. I go out mostly after sunset, and walk around with an umbrella (which hides my face, and the Tibetans do this a lot to protect themselves from the sweltering heat of the sun, so I don't stick out like a sore thumb) during the day. I keep away from the main road as much as possible. I sometimes joke and say I'm like an illegal refugee in a refugee camp. I live in a monastic community where there are 1500+ monks. I am here to study the language & bask in the culture. I'm also helping my best friend Kunga improve his english, and maybe eventually settle in Canada. I am also godmother to Passang, a 7 year old monk who lives with his teacher and has no more parents. So I help out with him as well. I have always had tremendous admiration and respect for this People.

Je viens de recevoir tes cartes... datées de janvier. Hihi... elles ont fait un long chemin. Tu fais la même chose, à ce que je peux voir. Elles m'ont beaucoup émue. Je leur ai donné un bec en espérant que tu le ressentais. Ça faisait 1000 ans que je n'avais pas reçu de cartes par la poste. J'adore
