	Lhasa travel guide - Wikitravel
		Lhasa (拉萨) is the capital of the Tibet autonomous region in China.
		It is possible to visit Lhasa on 3-7 day tours from Kathmandu, Nepal, but there have been reports of tours that do not allow enough time for visitors to adjust to the dramatic altitude change resulting in some travelers sufferring altitude sickness being left off along the way (without any refund, of course).
		Lhasa is 3650 meters (about 12 000 feet) above sea level, so there is considerable risk of altitude sickness, especially if you fly in from a much lower altitude so your body does not have time to acclimatise.

	Lhasa Apsos: What's Good About 'Em? What's Bad About 'Em?
		The AKC Standard, showing great restraint, calls the Lhasa Apso "chary with strangers." Indeed he is. With his acute senses, keen observation skills, and distrust of anything new or different, he takes his watchdog responsibilities seriously -- some individuals are not just "all bark" and may be very willing to bite.
		Lhasa Apsos have an independent mind of their own and are definitely not pushovers to raise and train.
		Many Lhasas are quick to react to teasing, and even to the normal clumsiness that comes with small children (accidental squeezing of their ears or pulling of hair or stepping on their paw).

	Lhasa de Sela: an interview and recording review
		In concert, Lhasa was by turns both shy and generous, and she gave a lot of herself away to her audiences.
		Together the three created a lush and spacious studio sound, placing Lhasa's voice above the band rather than mingling it with the instruments (in a few places the band has to be kept at bay for fear of overpowering her fragile-diva sound).
		With The Living Road, one gets the feeling that Lhasa has invited you into her world and is sharing her confidences with you, in contrast to La Llorona, where one often felt like an uneasy voyeur into her private life.

	ALAC - Lhasa Grooming Tips
		You can take your Lhasa to the vet to have the hair inside the ears removed; however, it's a grooming task that is easily done at home.
		If your Lhasa doesn't have heavily-coated feet, you may be able to get by with just combing all the hair over the foot and cutting it.
		Even though a young Lhasa puppy does not require a lot of grooming, you need to train him when he is young, before his coat starts getting mats and tangles, so he will accept the grooming that will become a necessary part of his life.

		The idea was to provide pet owners (both those who wanted to cook for their companion pets or those who wanted to buy an all-breed/any-breed preservative filled food for their pets) information about food sources to use or avoid.
		The Lhasa Apso originated in the Himalayan Mountains of Tibet as the temple dog of the Dali Llama.
		There are over 170 different molecular forms of the mineral "calcium." The source of the mineral calcium that a Lhasa Apso can easily assimilate can be hard for a different breed to assimilate and thus that other breed can develop kidney stones on the best source of calcium for a Lhasa Apso.
