Bizarre

To think that the day I finally get around to posting my thoughts on Tibet that I ride into a town on the complete opposite side of the world with a Tibet Bar. It turns out that this is an area where a lot of scenes from the movie 'Seven Years in Tibet' were shot. I have not seen this film starring Brad Pitt but the Andes are not quite the Tibetan Himalaya. While they are barren they are not as desolate and are a pinkier shade of dirt. Of course, most people watching the movie have never seen Tibet ... or even the Andes for that matter. Regardless both places are incredible. I wonder whether the Tibet Bar in Uspallata serves Lhasa beer or yak butter tea? I'll find out once I get my empanada fix.

later
