What does Tsampa taste like in Tibet?

I had Tsampa once in a Tibetan Village accompanied by two monks and a lama who went there to conduct a ceremony for the village. So what I had was the genuine article. I had it in two forms. With tea it was fairly thick liquid and palatable. The taste was not very strong. But later I was given it in its thick sticky paste form with no added tea. This tasted like eating mud. Thick cloying mud that made it impossible to swallow quickly. As I was in the village chief's house at the time ( an honour ) I had no choice but to eat what I was given. But I nearly threw up and it was only politeness that prevented me from doing so. Definitely an aquired taste but I will not be serving it up to my dinner guests in this lifetime.

Will Tibet be free?

Unfortunately, it's very unlikely to happen in the near future. The Chinese invaded in 1950 and they have an annoying tendency to stand their ground. The only realistic way I can see Tibet's freedom occurring is if the international community puts pressure on China or even intervenes militarily. The Americans or British would veto it one way or another.

Why is Tibet controlled by china?

Tibet has been an inalienable part of Chinese territory since the 13th century. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty created the position "Dalai Lama" (which means Ocean Teacher) to consolidate religious and political authority in Tibet. The Dalai Lama, under Chinese suzerainty, ruled Tibet for the next several hundred years. When China became a People's Republic, the Dalai Lama's theocratic regime was abolished, and Tibet became an autonomous region.

What is a Tibet?

There's no such thing as "a" Tibet. Tibet is a country.

Tibet is a plateu region in Asia, the highest region on earth. Sometimes it's even referred to as the "roof of the world". Also, it's a very religious country. Religion is extremely important to the Tibetans and has a strong influence over the country and its people's lives. In fact, a lot of Tibetan art depicts Buddha or other visions of religious significance. The "Dalai Lama" is a well-known term for a lineage of religious rulers.

For a long while, however, China has owned Tibet, claiming that Tibet was originally a part of China. It was their excuse for invasion. This is a very controversial issue, especially considering recent archaelogical evidence that hints otherwise, but for the time being Tibet stays under China's rule

======================

Tibet is NOT a country.

To be a country, it has to be accepted by other countries as being so. Currently NO countries in the world recognize Tibet as a country.

In fact, official maps from the West in the last few hundred years all show Tibet as part of China

In other words, Tibet has been part of China for at least a few hundred years. This would therefore invalidate the claim that China invaded Tibet in 1950.

There is one example of the map of China produced by the US government in 1944 at time index 3:04 from the video clip in the related links section below this answer.

What is the climate like in southern china and eastern Tibet?

Climate

----

Basically, the Tibetan climate is not as harsh as many people imagine it to be. The best time of year to be in Tibet is from April to the beginning of November, after which temperatures start to plummet.

The central Tibet, including Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Tsedang, generally has very mild weather from April to November, though July and August can be rainy - these two months usually see around half of Tibet's annual rainfall.

October and November often bring some dazzling clear weather and daytime temperatures can be quite comfortable at Tibet's lower altitude.

The coldest months are from December to February. It is not impossible to visit Tibet in winter. The low altitude valleys of Tibet (around Lhasa, Shigatse and Tsedang) see very little snow.

Spring does not really get under way until April, though March can have warm sunny days and is not necessarily a bad month to be in Tibet. More specific information in different areas:

Lhasa - the border of Nepal/China: The Friendship highway is basically in good conditions year around. But from December to February, the thawed road could make some trouble Besides, try to avoid August - landslide could happen in the rainy season.

Mt. Everest Region: Early May and early October are the best time to visit Mt. Everest. Due to the clear weather, you have great chance to see Mt. Everest's true face. From December to February, it's too cold to go to this region. But the magnetism of Mt. Everest always attracts people anytime of the year.

Ali (Mt.Kailash): Even without climate restrictions, this area is already inhospitable. Big rain and snow could make the journey worse. However, for those determined tourists, the appropriate time is May, June, July, September and October.

Eastern Tibet: Don't touch this area in July or August, the rain could ruin the road, and make terrible landslides. While in winter, the road could be frozen.

Northern Tibet: With the average altitude of 4,500m, this area offers very limited time for tourists. Summer is the prime time to enjoy the great plain in northern Tibet.
