redtortoise76 ::: Favorites are you sure lady? Have you considered all the hardships of life in Tibet? It's easy to talk about fasting on a full stomach hahaha It's a dirty, poor, primitive, superstitious culture. This documentary doesn't show the day to day harsh reality of life in a tibetan village. 07-10-10 22:10:57 __________________________________________________
