I've heard lots of Tibetan sacred music, but the stuff my friends were singing and dancing to didn't sound like that at all. They were singing songs with a rythym that i couldn't get and then all the Chinese Tibetans got up and did this sprightly dance to the songs-I couldn't get that either, but they were very gracious and laughing about it. In general, their hearts seemed a bit lighter than many of my Han Chinese friends, though life at 2500 meters is not easy. My friend Emma(Tibetan/Chinese)said that she learned English from songs on the radio. Wa Ban Zhou
