Day 7 - Lhasa - the Great Monk Debate

Toward the end of the debate, the mood changed dramatically. The frowns and scowls turned to grins. You could tell that they were enjoying themselves which was not at all clear at the beginning of the debate. I do want to point out the tourists in the background perched at the edges of the courtyard. We were literally in their faces as they debated and they completely ignored us. It was a bit odd.
