An Incredibly Wonderful Experience in Bhutan

Hi Joni, 

I had an incredibly wonderful experience in Bhutan ... I love its mountainous landscape, its spectacular architecture - from the home of villagers to the dzongs, each is embellished with amazing details, I love the way Buddhism comes across (very unlike Thailand), I love the Bhutanese people most ... never have I enjoyed photographing people as much as I did in Bhutan ... ok, the food in Bhutan wasn't very great (but that perhaps is also I don't like cheese) but I get by and this did not at all affect my enjoyment of the remaining 99.5% of the trip. I also love the cool, dry and sunny climate ... Love also the day on the ramp at Paro Airport and the next day spent outside it photographing planes landing.

On the last day, I heard about Haa from the photo-journalist from Business Times ... and wish I had learnt of it earlier. Seems like the place to visit Bhutanese in their elements.

This has been a trip of many "highs" ... Bhutan is a more amazing destination and I also had two great meetings - with Tshering Penjore of Drukair and Damcho Rinzin of Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB). 

Thanks for all the arrangements and I am still processing tons of pictures and when this is done, I will burn some of them on a DVD to bring to your office.  I also need to return a book on Bhutanese food that I borrowed from Cipto a week before the trip.
