tonym Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Yes, I am staying out of the Politics forum intentionally, but I saw the Dalai Lama doing a meet 'n' greet in Edinburgh, Scotland. I was just ambling along with a new CD cache and there he was, hopping out of a bullet-proof X 5. Our hotel was in the midst of a load of road closure and every 2 minutes a limo and police outriders zoomed past, but I hadn't read that morning's news. As it happens The Guardian didn't even mention it anyhow. There were several placards on display at his arrival, the usual stuff, but it was quite refreshing to see a world leader as such on show without jeering, rotten tomatos and eggs being hurled. Got a few pics too. Quite the tourist eh? Quote
