Hey Guys, Ever Heard About the Country of Tibet?
In South Asia there's India, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. But, ever heard of Tibet? Tibet is a very unique places with all kinds of teas and Buddhism. However, this isn't much of a country because China took over it. Why you may ask? Well, it was because of Tibet Butter Tea, and you know what, it was delicious. It's really creamy, and with sugar, it's like hot cocoa. Only the Buddhist Monks were able to drink the drink for ceremonies, and China wanted to own it. No where else in the World knew how to make, so Tibet sold for really expensive. China wanted the tea cheap, in exchange for horses, but Chinese greed piled up. As a result, China fought a war and conquered Tibet. Presently, Tibet is a independent state, governed by China. Seriously, fighting a war, and conquering a country only for a drink? Would it be worth it for you?
