an interesting aside on cultural migration.
There is a TV series on wild areas of China. One segment featured tibet. Since forever, tibetians raise very tall poles with ropes. The poles and the ropes are covered with bright colored clothes that flap like small flags. The raising ceremony and the bright colors have some religious significance.
Several ropes are used to raise the pole. One tibetian man working a rope was clad in jeans and was wearing a straw stetson hat. One wonders how a stetson hat, jeans and a western shirt made it to the far back boondocks of Tibet
Trying hard to rook rike Gary Cooper.
Super-dooper!
