While Jyekundo looks like a modern Chinese town, there still is a large amount of Tibetans in town with strikingly beautiful, friendly faces.
There were the schoolkids, always curious about the foreigner, about the camera. But also other people were open to some difficult small talk with someone who did not speak their language. Some were surprised and turned shy when I tried to convince them that they were beautiful. They were very pleased to see the result immediately on the display of my camera. When, after four days, I left Jyekundo and was still in love with them, I stopped just outside the town and found a family with a particularly photogenic girl. I would wish to be able to give them a copy of the pictures - still now, while looking at them, I remember them with fond memories.
