An Exile Returns to Tibet

Mayank Sufi Austen talks to a young Tibetan; who went back to Lhasa and says;

"I was a foreigner in my homeland. I didn't know Chinese and it was everywhere. In restaurants, menus would be written in Chinese and I would ask stewards what was what. I would pass by the city's only theater that screened Hollywood films, dubbed only in Chinese. It was difficult to make out things. I was lost."
