Mustang Quotes

“The general kind and soft customs of Mustang were soon to strike me as exceptional.

In fact the only person I knew to consistently angry in Lo Mantang was myself, and Tibetans consider bd temper a Western characteristic. Take for example the reactions of European to missing his train; he will invariably swear under his breath. Who in our can stand frustration without giving vent to anger?
