Day 7 - Lhasa - the street market in front of my hotel

I mentioned previously that yak is a mainstay in Tibetan culture and cuisine - not only the meat but also dairy products. Here we have yak butter which is used in a variety of things including yak butter candles and yak butter tea. While I didn't end up lighting a candle, I did try the tea. It tasted a bit like macaroni and cheese sauce. Mmmm...yummy?
