For the information of my friends and family. My travel plans are set for two trips home in June and July. From June 30th to July 5th, I’ll be Minneapolis, MN for the Midwest Tibetan Picnic. A Tibetan cultural festival celebrating the 70th birthday of the Dalai Lama. In addition to events celebrating Tibetan culture, sporting events will also be a part of the weekend festivities. My basketball team, which has won 4 consecutive West Coast Tibetan Picnic championships and is still undefeated will be competing for the first time in the Midwest Championships. From July 20th to August 9th, I’ll be in Seattle, WA visiting friends and family back home.
