First Day in Lhasa
I had apprehensions about coming here, but they've partially drifted aside...
The first thing that I've fallen in love with are the hot chips street vendors - 1 yuan (20 cents) per bag.
There is still a Tibetan 'old town' - granted it's 'touristed', but it's buzzing with pilgrims and monks.
Nepalese thali for dinner - $4, but what the hell...
In order to find the thali we talked to some North Americans. The girl was working on some field recording project and was thinking about hitching into east Tibet to find some nomads to record. Might join up.
Kirey hotel is a good choice. Hot showers. Sharing the dorm with a bunch of Koreans and a Japanese girl.
Ran into the same Americans we ran into at Lake Karakol.
