If
you ask most people what they know about Bhutan, you are usually met
with blank looks, particularly from our American cousins.
"Is that near Sweden?"
However, for those who actually know where
it is or have even heard of it, Bhutan is famous, or infamous,
depending on your politics, for being a Buddhist State, for being
disingenuously concerned with Gross National Happiness, for their
obsession with the phallus and archery, their colourful
festivals...and their apparent inability to build a single decent
road.
So, just in case you thought this was all a
trifle exaggerated... |
