Tuesday morning, still stuck in Chengdu for a couple of days!

Our travel permits for Lhasa were granted but they still have to
reach us. They were sent by express post this morning. They should
reach us at the hotel here in Chengdu by tomorrow afternoon or
thursday morning. That would allow a departure for Lhasa on friday
morning.

We were hoping that a faxes copy of the permits would be okay, so we
are now a little bit disappointed...

But this morning, Cheukyi, Zoe and I went to buy some new DVD's to
help the time to pass. The TV room in the hotel as airco and it's
really good to be there away from Chengdu's warmth and humidity.

Right now, the girls are watching Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette".
