It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Welcome to Tibet! Upon arrival, our Tibetan guide will greet you at the airport or train station and present you with a Hada, the traditional Tibetan ceremonial scarf symbolizing good luck. You will then be transferred to your hotel in downtown Lhasa, enjoying scenic views of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Lhasa River, and traditional Tibetan villages along the way. After checking in, take some time to rest and acclimate to the high altitude—take it easy and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Today, visit Drepung Monastery, the largest monastery in Tibet, where you’ll explore the Coqen Hall and learn about Tibetan Buddhism and its historical figures. You’ll also tour Loseling College (or a similar college) to gain insight into monks’ studies and daily life. In the afternoon, continue to Sera Monastery, founded in 1419, to watch the famous monk debates, where monks discuss and deepen their knowledge of Buddhist teachings. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner with your group, where your guide will offer traditional Tibetan gifts, share travel tips, and introduce everyone.
After breakfast, visit the magnificent Potala Palace, where your guide will share stories of the Dalai Lamas and explain the palace’s halls and treasures while you enjoy views over Lhasa. Next, stop at Longwangtan Park at the base of the palace for a peaceful view of the Potala and a taste of local Tibetan culture. In the afternoon, explore the sacred Jokhang Temple, home to the revered 12-year-old statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and walk the Barkhor Street kora with local pilgrims. Later, visit a lively Tibetan tea house to enjoy sweet tea with locals while your guide shares insights into Tibetan daily life and culture.
