It's not a rarely discussed topic that Han is losing a lot of its traditions too. But Han itself also failed to preserve an intact cultural identity, when put in the globalization context.

With the dominant Han discourse, aesthetics, and popular culture looming over, the Tibetans just fail to preserve an intact cultural identity.

I'm also a little surprised to learn how you observed the Tibetan community. Maybe it's a foreigner's perspective. A Chinese traveler probably would not care to observe the same thing that you noticed. Or it's just that I'm not quite an observer. I also wrote an essay about this hike. It's more about how difficult the hike is and how different Tibetans' lifestyle is from Han Chinese. About the hysterical anticipation, I see a lot of my friends around me are not part of it, including me. But strange enough, when I watched the parade the night when we were in the small village, I was really touched by the marvelous military march. Guess that's what we called patriotic~ Again, I’m so fascinated about your writing and story telling skills.
