Tibet, like every place in the world, has changed with time.  But unlike many other places, the causes and effects of change are exceedingly controversial.  Sixty years of Chinese governance has led to religious restrictions and waves of Han Chinese migration.  There are also positive aspects -- improved education is one -- but these get less publicity in the West.

Fodor’s Family
Boston with Kids

Boston is my favorite American city to visit, and with good reason: 1) There’s so much to do and see; 2) It’s a beautiful place; 3) There’s a ton of history; 4) The food is incredible; 5) The locals are nice; 6) It’s easy to get around; 7) and it’s one of the best large cities anywhere to visit with children. Not only does pocket sized Boston with Kids writer Lisa Oppenheimer know all there is to know about Boston, but she also knows all families need to know to make the most out of a Boston vacation.

I love photography! As a nature photographer, I am always looking closely at nature and seeing the beauty there.
