kids in western sichuan

western sichuan, on the border of tibet. so remote the details don't even show up on google map. and the massive area is pretty much a footnote in lonely planet (hence still relatively uninfested by tourists). these kids would welcome us as we drove by in our tour bus - we were in a very poor part of the country. they were taught to salute us as we were tourists and would supposedly bring money in.

always thinking i should be doing more about poverty...
