Are You In Lhasa?Country forums / North-East Asia / Tibet | ||
Someone in Lhasa, could you please tell me in the Tibetan Deaf Sewing Workshop in still in business? They had wonderful products made by a handful of super sweet deaf Tibetans. | ||
the signs for the sewing workshop are there still in the same building as the massage clinic, and the massage clinic is operational.. in a side alley off Beijing dong Lu about 2 alleyways down from the yak hotel , walking towards the potala. There is a sign on the wall of the alleyway for the massage clinic, and the building itself is just up a little opposite that sign in the alleyway. | 1 | |
Thank you for your reply, but I'm actually wondering if the workshop is still operational, or if the sign is all that remains. Thanks. | 2 | |
that I don't know, as I haven't gone into it before, but I saw the signs up on the walls as you go up the stairs to the massage clinic , and the massage clinic is still very open and working so I am presuming the sewing workshop might be as well. Did they sell their stuff also from a little shop on a side street going towards the lingkor, down near the gorkha hotel end , because I also saw a shop there a couple of months ago, selling items made by disabled people. | 3 | |
