Getaway
"Tibet?!!" I exclaimed."Yah. Why not? It's exotic and has many beautiful scenery. We will take a plane up to Guangzhou and from there, we can take a train all the way up and reach Tibet," said my friend.
My friend and I were discussing to go on an overseas trip after our ORD when he came up with this suggestion. We were thinking of places like Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan - the type of places where tourists normally go. Tibet? It seems so far-fetched.
It was then I recalled my trip to India 3 years ago - that many 3-4 hours car trips travelled, the 10 hour long train ride where we passed by god-knows how many plots of greenery where you can see a tall tree suddenly erected smack in the middle of nowhere and cows moving on the road like nobody's business. No tall buildings. No glamorous clothings. The beauty of simplicity. The only pity was that I didn't have a camera with me then.
Yes, I would love to re-live that again, especially that 10 hours train ride where I sat on the edge of the train's door, watching the beauty of nature's art. A trip to Tibet could just be that perfect getaway which I have craved and waited for so long.
Ok. Tibet it shall be.
