Actually, I'm only half-Chinese. And that's all on the inside.
From the outside, I am a short, fat, redhead. So I don't think this will work.
My wife (who is full-blood Han Ren) and I are headed to China next week, and we were casually toying with the idea of taking a side-trip to Tibet. But I get the feeling this is not something to be done casually. So we'll save it for another time when we have more time to prepare for it. Thanks.
