2001 Drive across the Himalayas
Drive across the Himalayas from Kathmandu to Lhasa
At a truck stop, on a small black and white TV screen I saw the World Trade Center in Manhattan collapse. I thought it was a bad joke.

The Jokhang Temple is the most sacred Buddhist temple in Lhasa, Barkhor Square. Tibetans, in general, consider this temple the most important temple in Tibet. My trip and stay in Tibet were during September 11th 2001. The “War on Terror” started, military vehicles were moved to the Tibet/Afghan border. I was stuck in Tibet. No civil flights. Banks closed. The black plague broke out and I was seeing myself walking back to Germany.
