BULLETINBOARDS/CORKBOARDS by mavl
if you're looking for things to do and/or people to do them with while in lhasa, check out the bulletinboards/corkboards at the lobby of hotels and guesthouses - these will almost always contain posted notes from other travelers looking for companions to complete a tour group (which will inevitably make the tour cheaper for them and you if you join). they will also contain tour offers from local tour companies and guides - the informal kind anyway.
they may even contain notices of items for sale such as used backpacks, hiking boots, etc.
whatever the case, these boards are worth checking out. it's a good way of getting info that might turn out to be valuable.
the board in the photo is from the lobby of snowlands hotel, just a few establishments down from the barkhor along mentsikhang lam road.it may also contain a lot of funny stuff! i remember one note looking for a left hiking sandal, size 9 - just the left! hope for the guy's sake that he found it!
