When I arrived in Lhasa in total darkness, my eyes were drawn to a patch of light in the distance, and I was left in awe: I realized at once I was looking at the Potala Palace. On the way to the city, my eyes were glued to the Potala. It was late, and finding a hotel took some time. When I went to the roof restaurant of my hotel for breakfast the next morning, I was again surprised to find the Potala rising high above the surroundings - much closer than the day before. Inevitably, as soon as I had finished breakfast, I was drawn directly to the Potala. When I arrived at the Potala square, and the Potala towered high above me in all its serenity, I felt very excited. Even though I had seen the Potala so many times before on pictures and on TV, in reality it was much more impressive than I had imagined.
