We make the first stop on our seven new wonders of the world journey. Our Bill Weir is live on what some one/ called "the roof of the world"-Tibet. We think of this mysterious place where so few western have traveled. Many of us imagine life being live just as was centuries ago. Hey, Bill, reality is nothing like the myth we were seeing this morning.

That's right, Robin, you know, this land is big. Tibet is bigger than Texas and Alaska combined. Because as you mentioned it is seen as the roof of the world, it's been cut off from the rest of civilization for centuries but not any more. In fact, the cell phone service here, I had to tell you America, is better than what we have back at home. And Robin, I am actually going to send you an email right now probably the first from Tibet and you'll get that in a matter of seconds and there are also four-star hotels and discos and internet cafes and all the signs of China's explosive growth, but if you look closely, you can still find the soul of this land, that is the Tibetans themselves.

The search takes us passed monks on cell phones through stores where hip-hop videos, and gold-tooth caps are sold. The market where is may be changing. But turn a corner and you'll find a place that 's remained the same for centuries if the Potala is the heart of Tibet, the Jokhang temple is its soul. It is the most sacred site in Tibetan Buddhism. These people have come here from hundreds of miles away and they'll do this for hours. It's a gesture of pure humility before the Buddhists and the Lamas, those men through history who've achieved enlightenment. And technically they are not praying. They don't believe in a created god. Instead they are radiating loving kindness, chanting mantras, spinning an ancient will to spread good vibrations into the universe. The sphere is obvious even away from the temple, I wandered into a tiny court yard and I'm greeted warmly even by the man doing his laundry in their community well. And I even get a song of welcome.

At the market, I began to understand the source of their shy curiosity. When a man says something and the rest burst out laughing.
-----What did she say?
-----She said you're Tom Cruise.
-----She said I'm Tom Cruise?
-----Yep.
-----That's right, I'm Tom Cruise.
And if Tom Cruise ever needs yak butter, this is definitely the place. You see Tibet runs on yak. There were yak fur, they burn yak dung, they light their temples with yak butter candles and I discovered the many other uses at lunch.
----And that is yak tongue.
----Yak tongue? All right.
----People believes if you eat a yak tongue, you'll become very (how to say) healthy and eloquent.
----Eloquent? I can use that.
Eh, yak tongue. But no matter of eloquence can describe yak butter tea.
----Can I get a heineken?
After that, I can lend anything, even the trip to the butcher.
----You have a name for this joint? Coz I had a great name for this place. Great name for your business, yak and bucks.
