altitude sickness...

our arrival to Lhasa was not a fun one. i suppose flying in from sea level to 9000 feet can be why. i puked 3 times that night. it's sad, in a comical way, when your travel companion and you are taking turns emptying your stomachs over a squat toilet . thank God it only lasted a night. i was fine the next day....in time to climb up to the Potala Palace - no way was i going to miss that! Even if the monks have to clean up my vomit, i was going.
