I visited Litang exactly 30 years ago. Obviously, a lot has changed, except of course the altitude. You were doing well not to succumb to it. At 4000 metres I felt back then like the age I am now!

"singing bowl"???

[@Earthman99999]

@@Keay9527 Yeah. The Tibetan singing bowl is basically an inverted bell. You use the wooden mallet to rub against the rim of the bowl in a continuous circular motion to produce a relaxing vibrating ringing sound. It is traditionally used for meditation purposes. It takes a little practice to make the sound. It looks cool to display in the house and demonstrate to guests.

Quite topical for us this week. Our Saturday market (last Saturday) had a Li Ethnic minority show and a lot of stalls selling traditional Li crafts. You will both be too young to remember but seasonal fruit and vegetables is something I certainly do. Tropical fruits were also unheard of in my childhood, (except for the bit I spent in SIngapore of course!) When I see the HUGE furniture I always wonder where it's used, most apartments are far too small to accomodate it. Something else we always used as children was a teapot. Nowadays everyone uses tea bags. Oh I do like the old days.... Nice video, as always, saw more of Wei this time!
