Why do guys always support Tibet?

It's strange, you know, it seems that you all hate China White and intent nothing against it. Why? Free Tibet? Have you heard of us, shouting "Free Quebec" and "Songs of Wales"? Still there are conflicts between China and Tibet, you will always be with him and make propaganda on the Chinese government to kill or beat the Tibetans. Have you heard that many Western media are deceptive campaigns against China? For example, playing the images of riots in Nepal and the title "China"? I mean, why Did you guys even do? Why you just try to do everything possible to spoil China? I am a Chinese student, not a politician, and I try not to make propaganda for the Chinese government. Being a Chinese person, I know better than you that my country has no freedom, human rights and democracy, but I do not understand, what makes you hate us? Are we right to five billion dollars?

I think it's a matter of hate China over a If hating the lack of freedom and human rights in Tibet and China and the suffering of ordinary Tibetans and the Chinese that entails. I used shared a house with a Chinese student years he knew nothing of what happened on Tiananmen Square during the demonstrations students of 1989, as had been virtually removed from public awareness by the government.

Nepali Tibet
are the Tibetan and Nepalese languages similar at all?

I wanted to learn a language of my visit i plan on having the Nepal-Tibet, India, Bhutan. I know that English is spoken in tourist areas a lot, but I was wondering what language I would be better learning.

The Nepalese and Tibetan have nothing to do, but there are many Tibetan exiles living in all the countries you mentioned and also the Buddhist monks in the Tibetan tradition in Nepal, Bhutan and in many parts of northern India to carry out their rituals in Tibetan studies and, although not speak Tibetan as their mother tongue as the only language that could be useful in all these areas, in addition to English, is actually Tibetan. In Tibet proper, Tibet will open many doors that will not be available in English, even at tourist sites, and the same is true (although at significantly lower) among Tibetans in other areas mentioned, so any effort you make learning in Tibet since then not be in vain. On the contrary, no other language in Nepal and India used in Tibet, but especially smaller groups Nepal traders in Tibet, so the only alternative language would use in Tibet today is actually Chinese.
