The Potala Palace is amazing in its absolute grandeur. It's one of those structures that, when you're near, you can't take your eyes off of it. As we approached the palace, I had my first encounter with the pilgrimage in Lhasa. Tibetans come from all over to circle the palace (always clockwise) and pray. I asked my guide if this happened every day. He parroted back, "Every day." I soon realized that this was part of his English language strategy. I would ask something and he would repeat back part of my question as his response. Good way to practice pronunciation.
