"I want to show you something," said Andy, my Chinese friend. I met him and his girlfriend a couple of days before in Drango, a small Tibetan town in Western part of Chinese province of Sichuan. They were coming from Shanghai, both young and educated. She was a web designer and he a team-building advisor, traveling overland to Lhasa to escape for a while from the hectic life of a ultra developed mega city, to enjoy freedom, fresh air and learn Buddhism from Tibetan monks. ]]></description>

<em>Friends often ask me: “Have you really met the king of the world?”

The story of the king of the world is a fiction. It was inspired by true events and encounters with truly living people, yet it grew in the womb of imagination and inner inspiration. But the richness, of which it tells, is true. Therefore, the journey in the company of the imaginary king of the world is perhaps more real than many of the journeys truly taken.</em>]]></description>
