"Kind of weird, huh?" the 27-year-old London lawyer said. "You wouldn't expect to see a Tibetan-themed bar in the middle of the Argentine desert." The Tibet Cafe is a remnant of Uspallata's transformation two years ago into the set for the Hollywood film, "Seven Years in Tibet." Hundreds of Hollywood actors and native Tibetans flooded Uspallata, an arid village of 5,000.
