Samsaric mind is a fucker, things change so quickly. Whilst still not entirely happy with everything here, I feel more confident just from walking round and having pretty minor conversations with people in Tibetan. One thing is for sure, if I do stay here/get a place on the course, there will be a ton of people to practice Tibetan with. I've been here less than four days and am starting to make friends, despite being as misanthropic as ever.

In other news I went to Sechen monastery today. Mind blown.
