Gangtok + Rumtek

-During jeep ride, met Jake from UK. He gave me lots of good info on West Sikkim. After metal detector at entrance, we walked into the beautiful prayer hall of the Rumtek Monastery, with paintings and covered statues (Guru Rinboche?). Saw the golden stupa, with photos of the Dalai Lama and the 17th Karmapa, who is not being allowed to go to Rumtek Monastery by the Indian Government.
-Finally got a jeep back to Gangtok. Randomly saw Warren in an internet cafe. Went to Masala's for dinner with Warren, Paul, Allison.
