Q: Can I travel to Tibet for the purpose of passing through?
As the title implies, I want to travel to Tibet in order to pass through to Nepal. I am not going to stay in Lhasa more than a few days, just long enough for my girlfriend to get her Nepal Tourist Visa. We will then vacation in Nepal and return by the same route: back into Lhasa to catch the train home.
I am wondering if this will be possible since I am a foreigner who happens to look a lot like Brad Pitt.

You will need special permission as all foreigners do these days from the Entry-and-Exit folks at the PSB. There is no "special passing through visa" for Tibet. You may also be required to be part of a group - it will depend upon how the Entry-and-Exit folk view your request.
