koknor has added a photo to the pool:
This bread is called gor mo che and is from Reb sa Village, Hor ng Township, Reb gong County, Rma lho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mtso gnan Province. It was made by Ms. Pad+ma mtso (b. 1960) on 26 February 2013. Lumps of white soil are place on a ring of stones outside the home and wood is burned underneath. Two or three hours later, the lumps of white soil are pulverized using a tha khem. Skyur 'dough that has risen' is taken from a skyur ze'au 'wooden pail', kneaded, and then placed directly on the hot soil. Newspaper is put on top of the dough, and then covered with hot soil. The time period of baking depends on how hot the soil is and how big the dough is. Generally, one to three hours are required.

Sokleine has added a photo to the pool:
The 13th arrondissement of Paris is home to Paris's main Chinatown, called Triangle de Choisy or Petite Asie, which is located in the southeast of the arrondissement in an area that contains many high-rise apartment buildings. In the 1970s, ethnic Chinese refugees from the former French colony of French Indochina (modern-day Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos) settled there. It includes several Buddhist temples and the large specialised supermarkets such as Paristore and that of the Tang Brothers selling Asian products. The main Chinese New Year parade takes place there.
Population: 35,000 approx.

- 5 Days in Tibet: 3rd Day, Namtso Lake (6/6)
Jesus Mtnez Valencia has added a photo to the pool:
"Namtso Lake, the bright pearl of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is known as one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. Endowed with pure water and stunning landscapes, it has been the holy land of Tibetan Buddhists and Mecca of the hiking enthusiasts from all over the world.
Placing at an elevation of 4,718 meters, and covers an area of 1,940 square kilometers, Namtso Lake ranks the second largest saltwater lake of its kind in China (after Qinghai Lake) and the highest altitude saltwater lake in the world. The water here is crystal-clear blue. Clear skies join the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista. Soul of every visitor who has ever been here seems to be cleansed by the pure lake water". - Taktsang Lhamo, Tibet 2012

Taktsang Lhamo is a beautiful small Tibetan town straddling the Gansu-Sichuan border in east Amdo. While Rebkong and Labrang are mostly farming areas, Taktsang Lhamo is mostly a nomadic region. Large herds of yaks and sheep can be found and Tibetans live in traditional style tents during the summer and fall. Two large monasteries, Sertri and Kirti, are in the area. The town, lying at 3300m, is surrounded by mountains which are covered in snow for most of the year. Taktsang Lhamo offers excellent horse trekking through the grasslands and mountains.

- Songshan Geopark in China's Henan
Songshan Mountain stands at Dengfeng City in western Henan. It is one of the five most famous mountains in China, and also a bastion of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Songshan Geopark, covering an area of 464 square kilometers, is called the "textbook of geological history" since its rock formations consist of consecutive stratigraphic sequences of the Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. The combination of steep peaks, dramatic valleys and abundant vegetation forms the park's spectacular vistas. On February 13th, 2004, Songshan Mountain was approved as a first-rate global geopark by UNESCO. [bbs.fengniao/ by 阳光的味道WYM]
