[It does not often snow in Tibet. Mu has dragged a bar stool to the door of the bar, open, and parked himself in the entranceway, with a large clay mug of butter tea on his lap and an entire churn of it resting by the foot of the stool. He seems content and oddly amused to watch the snow fall.]

[a smile] Two countries I've never been fortunate to see! And both with a very strong history behind them.

[lamb_of_gold]

Of the two, I much prefer Tibet. Greece is not without it's charm, but I find it far less....candid, I suppose.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[giving him a curious look] That's an interesting choice of word.

[lamb_of_gold]

Howso? There are many uses for it outside of a photograph.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

That's precisely it. It surprised me to hear a lack of candour associated with Greece.

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah. Greece just seems...somewhat more aware that it is being visited.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I understand. While Tibet doesn't get very many visitors, does it?

[lamb_of_gold]

The larger cities see some, and there is some influence from China in the areas where the chinese population is dense, but the nomads of the plateau see very few, possibly because so few are willing to withstand the climate.

[A chuckle] But I am rather biased in my opinions on this.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I have a friend who talks with that same bias of his home country. There are worse biases to have.

[lamb_of_gold]

Home is home, after all. I suppose there are.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I'm told there is some delight in discovering a new home as well. Do you live in Greece for work?

[lamb_of_gold]

You could say that, yes.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

If I may ask what that is?

[lamb_of_gold]

I am a guardian of Athena.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

As in a priest?

[lamb_of_gold]

As in a guardian.
