2.  47% of the world’s population depends on the flow of fresh water from Tibet.

Nicknamed the ‘third pole’, Tibet holds the third largest store of water and ice in the world after the Arctic and Antarctic. With a lake, river, or glacier at every turn, the immensity of this region’s water resources soon dawns on travelers, as well as the immensity of the region full stop. It doesn’t come as a great shock then, that six of Asia’s biggest rivers originate in Tibet, including the Mekong, the Yangtze, and the Indus to name just a few.

4. Tibetan Mastiff

Watchful, aloof, imposing, and intimidating: The ancient Tibetan Mastiff is the guardian dog supreme. These densely coated giants are mellow and calm around the house, sweetly devoted to family, and aloof and territorial with strangers. Coming face to face with this ancient behemoth, an intruder up to no good will likely move on to easier pickings. TMs can stand 26 inches at the shoulder and weigh well over 100 pounds. It's impossible to discuss this breed without leaning on words like 'powerful,' 'muscular,' massive,' and 'substantial.' And yet, TMs are quite light-footed and will meet a perceived threat with surprising agility. The broad head, with its high-set, V-shaped ears and expressive brown eyes, projects a noble, sagacious expression. https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/tibetan-mastiff/

6. Losar

Losar (Tibetan: ལོ་སར་, Wylie: lo-sar; "new year") also known as Tibetan New Year, is a festival in Tibetan Buddhism.[2] The holiday is celebrated on various dates depending on location (Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, India) tradition. The holiday is a new year's festival, celebrated on the first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar, which corresponds to a date in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. In 2020, the new year commenced on the 24th of February and celebrations ran until the 26th of the same month. It also commenced the Year of the Male Iron Rat.

The variation of the festival in Nepal is called Lhosar and is observed about eight weeks earlier than the Tibetan Losar.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losar


8. Don’t Finish the Food on the Table
This is a strange one for many as in a lot of other cultures an empty plate is a sign of appreciation of your host’s efforts. In Taiwanese culture, a clean plate, or worse, an empty table, means that the host didn’t prepare enough food and that the guests are still hungry.
