I just back from my trip, and I need to talk about how insane the hotel value is here. Back home in US or when I travel to places like Tokyo and London, my budget usually gets me a tiny, basic room with barely enough space to open my suitcas.

But in china ? A regular middle class budget turns you into royalty.

I decided to splurge a little bit and spend around $130 to $150 USD a night. For that price, I was getting a hotel room that felt like getting a high end luxury suite in in las vegas.

We are talking massive beds, beautiful views, amazing modern designs and even some giant tub right in the room. In New York a room like this would easily cost $700+ a night.

Even when I drop down to $50 USD a night the rooms were spotless super modern and felt way nicer than a standard western hotel.

If you add in the fact that you can book premium business class seats on the trains with private lounge access for next to nothing yiu realize you don't need to be rich to experience absolute luxury here. It's easily the best kept travel secret in the world right now.

I don't know why but I have this feeling everytime I see a color flame that's its so cool no matter how many times I see it still feels the same.

Btw when I got to know the different color arise from different elements it was mind blowing.

I am at a point where I have twenty tabs open in my browser and every Tibet itinerary looks different.

Some people say the journey to Everest base camp is just as memorable as Everest itself, while others say they wished they had spent more time in lhasa before heading out.

If you've done the trip, what part ended up being your favorite? Was it actually Everest, or something else you didn't expect
