Michael traveling again
Michael Palin travels to the Himalayas and visits the countries around the region. There are six episodes. He makes a big circle starting with Pakistan and India. He visits Dalai Lama and even Tibet. He travels down the Yangtze River and befriends some of the minorities in remote China. He goes through Bhutan, eastern India, and finally Bangladesh. The highlight of this series has to be Tibet especially after sitting down with the Dalai Lama. It's a place that few travel shows are going and it's nice to see from street level. China does have a drawback. Nobody is willing to talk openly about politics. It can get awkward with Michael's questions. Even when he's avoiding the subject, it feels like he's obviously avoiding the subject. Some of the interactions with his hosts can be very staged or limited. I prefer his man-on-the-street interactions. All in all, this is an interesting series with some very compelling people and places.
