Two people set themselves on fire over the weekend in Tibet - a mother of four and a student (most of them have been monks and nuns). This brings the total to around 25. There was an impromptu peace rally last night to pray for the martyrs and those suffering in Tibet. These are pretty common. Video below.

News from Tibet
I don't mind when it rains at night, because it's actually very beautiful to listen to. I do mind when it rains during the day, because my solar-powered shower doesn't work and it's hard to go anywhere.

In between the march and the morning news, another person set themselves on fire, a male teenager named Jigme. What, you didn't hear about it? Well, we do a lot of business with China. When people ask me in America what's going on in Tibet, I just say, "Oh, it's so bad people are en setting themselves on fire. For serious. And then the police shoot them while they're on fire. And the people who sold them gasoline or lighters are charged with murder. So yeah, it's pretty bad."
