That is absolutely gorgeous. I loved the clouds, but also the horses and sheep grazing.

I love that song, too.

I loved the giant prayer wheels! Ahh, memories of PTerry's Thief of Time.

Why aren't my vacation slideshows like that?

I mean, that was really profoundly moving.

You're welcome!

I liked that he focused on diverse subjects, from the food to natural scenery to farm workers doing their harvesting. The section set on the train sleeper carriage brought back loads of memories. :)

It is, indeed, a remarkably comprehensive look at a place and a culture. A true 7-minute travelogue.
