Accidental Chinese (or possibly Tibetan) Hipsters. yes yes.

accidentalchinesehipsters:

The brief story that accompanies this photo needs no embellishment. When a human confidently mixes West Asian* and Italian culture, the resulting style will knock you on the ground.

Devin Fitzgerald says:

“I took this photo a few years ago in Litang, Sichuan. Not only was this monk the coolest person I have ever seen, but he also spoke Italian. He said that he worked in a Buddhist center in Milan. I hope he counts as Chinese. ”

Sigh. Devin, can you hear the sound of 1,000 hearts breaking as your dreamy monk bounces around the Internet?

*****Correction: This guy is Tibetan, not Chinese. My mistake. Litang is displayed as a part of China on Google maps; however, “Litang is actually part of Greater Tibet. It used to be called Kham before the Chinese occupied Tibet.” Thanks for the information, Johnathan. I guess he only counts as Chinese if you’re being a careless butthole like I was.
