and so it begins...

So, this is how it all starts. I get bored one day and, the next thing you know, there's a baby blog.

This weekend is the first after Spring Break and we have four days off due to Holy Week. I decided to use this time wisely. Yesterday I woke up earlier than any sane mammal ever should and hopped in a bus with a friend and 100 of my new best friends to trek up to Vancouver, Canada. All to yell and scream at the Chinese Embassy to free Tibet. After four hours on the bus, we stopped at the border to check passports and ID cards and, after a two hour wait, all 110 of us, Tibetans mostly, boarded the new bus and got to the Embassy a few hours late, but with more enthusiasm than most.

Being around 300-400 people fighting for their country was probably the most powerful I have ever felt. This protest was invigorating and spectacular. The people were awe-inspiring. I encourage everyone to attend a Free Tibet protest; just by being there, you are making a huge statement in support of their cause.
