Dear China/Tibet Participants: Please see the latest tentative (subject to change) itinerary. Although I do not foresee any major changes, as of now I have not heard about the approval of our Tibet permission or the train tickets to Lhasa.

See you in class on Monday and I look forward to your power point presentations and to a great trip.
