I am loving this Bhutanese series. I love that your not staying in hotels all the time and that you are being immersed in the people, their homes, their culture and their cooking. I do see common dishes but it appears every home makes there food with love and slightly different. Just like if you told two chefs to cook something and gave them the same ingredients, each would make something different yet the same. There aren't conveniences of stores on every corner to supply food variety and refrigeration is not available in moat rural homes. The Bhutanese are eating what they can grow and preserve and making flavorful food at the same time. I know my mouth stills waters, even if I have seen the dish before, so they are doing something very remarkable.
I am in love with this series. Simple, authentic honest living. I do not mind the ezay and datsi repeating themselves. Every time i feel depressed in my life I will come back to this series. I am living through you Mark. Thank you.
Okay, I am so confused as to why there are so many of you here complaining about the food in Bhutan. First of all, Mark explained in his first video that there will be 20 videos about his trip to Bhutan. So if you all are complaining about how the videos are dragging on, you have an option not to watch it. Secondly, Bhutanese food repeats, it's the same like how every food repeats. I am sure every one of you are taught to respect other cultures no matter how they are, because by saying that our food is boring you, you are disrespecting our food. Our food in Bhutan are all organic and they come in different variations but it's not like we will keep inventing new dish all the time, ofcourse it will repeat, in my opinion, repeating food means that the food is edible and good, instead of experimenting all the time. I just want to end my comment by saying, if you are just going to complain, then might as well not watch it, I am sure that if I was to point things out about your culture, you would not be happy either. Bhutanese food is simple and delicious. And so are other food in different countries.
In short, all she is saying is our culture is our culture, non of your culture. You don't have to disrespect our culture like we dont disrespect your culture.@@user-nd8vw3vs6t
Anurag Datta. She. Think. People. No. Need. To. Complain. About. Other. People’s. Culture. When. All. Culture. Beautiful. And. All. Food. Is. Delicious. If. No. Like. Repetition. Of. Food. No. Watch. Simple????? (Or do you want me to use pictures alongside the words to simplify further for you? Perhaps a slide show?...)
I dont really care if almost every video in bhutan have same dish. But hey look at the scenery and view in Bhutan. It's so beautiful, refreshing and calm. :)
Absolutely a lovely and unique country. I guess the GNH is really working in Bhutan. I see even everyday people have enough for a good life. To any Bhutanese in here, I have great respect for your King Jigme Khesar Wangchuck. God bless you guys. From your Bangladeshi friend and neighbor.
Bhutan famous red rice, cheese, I love Bhutan's unique, original food and not mixed up with other countries because now a days many countries create their own version food by using spices from other countries but Bhutan's food is so original and unique and uses it own spices grown in Bhutan, that is why Bhutan's food is so unique and authentic .
Bhubaneswari Routray No, you're not. I didn't even hear of Bhutan until Mark went there so this is a perfect way for me to actually learn more about it and I'm glad he uploads so much
To all the people who are saying they are bored with this series, why don't you just stop watching then? Problem solved, you're welcome! And to the people who are saying that Bhutan is beautiful but the food is boring and repetitive... food IS a very big part of any culture so to insult their food IS the same as insulting their culture. Not every place around the world has the same flavors, variety and ingredients as another... that's what makes cultures unique and marvelous to experience. Clearly this IS the variety of food available in Bhutan, and lovingly made by the people there who are known to be some of the happiest around the world. Mark is showing what's authentically Bhutanese cuisine. To keep demanding more sounds like you want to impinge your unfair expectations and judgement onto the Bhutanese culture. I find that really sad and disturbing.
Everyone complaining about repetition just reinforces my desire to go to Bhutan. I wanted to go long before I knew there was so much cheese. I'll have that every day, thank you.
I see a lot of people commenting that the food is same anywhere you go in Bhutan and yes I think so too but it's not boring me at all. Instead I'm just loving these Bhutan videos!
Mark, this is another refreshing gem. Your ability to move at the pace of the culture you are in and to avoid making constant comparisons is the mark of a good guest. The simple home cooked meals and immersion into the day-to-day culture of Bhutan is wonderful. The Bhutanese are a reminder that some of the best things in life are also the simplest... Sitting in a Bhutanese farm house... sharing a cup of hot butter tea in front of a wood burning stove... priceless...
That farm house looks awesome! You can't beat an experience like that. You really get to see what life is like for the indigenous population. In the 80's while on maneuvers in Germany we would sometimes stop near a farm and the family would bring us food and beer; good times.
this guy is great and he is very honest and enjoys to eat thats why i watch his food vlogs, the last plate got me to think it must be the best food on earth
The food is so natural and Bhutan's unique food culture, and beautiful and clean country, fresh air.Each country has its unique food, and Bhutan has its own.
anyone complaining about the food in these videos or how long the series is probably wont be spending 16 amazing days in bhutan or even 1 day....enjoy the culture cause its probably all you'll ever get...
I keep coming back to this series, because even though the food is pretty repetitive, it is comforting to watch and the atmosphere is great. Also, the food reminds me of the Netherlands (kinda) because of how simple it is, and because of all the cheese.
Hey Mark, I am from Bhutan and the videos you post are great. I am away from home so watching your videos makes me very happy. I have been watching since day 1 and have never missed a single video. every night I wait for you to upload and when you do, I watch it very eagerly and my heart is full of joy. there will always be people who have something negative to say but pay no heed because your videos are amazing. keep posting and be happy. Like Bhutan's motto take nothing but memories. leave nothing but footprints.
Mark, great thing you are not doing a lot of "touristy stuff" in Bhutan rather tried to experience how it is to live like a local. Eat what they have and appreciates it. Thank you.
I get so excited every time I get a new video upload notification from you! 😍 Ignore all the haters, Mark. They just can't believe there are positive people like you in this world where you have nothing negative to say about anything. You know how to enjoy food and everything that come with it! Huge respect!
Mark, just to let you know that your Bhutan series is just a delight to watch! You never looked happier and healthier than in these videos! Thank you thank you thank you, please keep going like that!
I went to phunshilling, paro and thimpu, Bhutan is a great country with great people lovely food and lot of love in heart of each person. Love you Bhutan
I love you Mark and Ying ! I don't mind these Bhutanese videos at all, they are authentic and I feel like I'm actually there enjoying the culture, food and scenery. This is also very educational because there are no Bhutanese restaurants where I am. Keep up the good work !
These Bhutan trip videos have so far been awesome.. The background music, the food, the friendly locals and the scenic beauty have taken it to a different level.. Love from India
I love seeing the different wooden farm homes. I wish I had a house like that with all the beautiful painted decorations. All the food looks so good. The stir fried cheese makes me sooo hungry.
Thank you Mark for uploading so many videos about Bhutan. I've only herd of the country once before your series and I really enjoy learning about different countries, foods, cultures, and the history of every where you go. Thank you and Ying for sharing your lives with us.
Hi Mark n Yin, both of you are amazing to stay in Bhutan long enough to get to know their culture and t taste home cooking food, that is the best anyone could ask, you will gain so much from it, and the country side is so serene and beautiful, everywhere in the world you can find a city but not this beautiful Bhutan, you are qualified to work with National Geographic, Home Cooking is definitely more delicious, thank you for showing us Amazing Bhutan. Mark , you are simply the Best, Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😍
+Blue Clouds Totally agree too, thank you Mark for this adventure into Bhutan, the people and the way they have adapted to the land is fascinating, no waste, simple and nutritious food, keep up the good work Mark :-)
Actually I'm a Bhutanese,I'm proud to be Bhutanese,mark wiens he is doing good,he test different food from village to village,guys if you come to Bhutan you never feel back from Bhutan because of nature,adventure,people and their culture. Thank for bed comments!
Haha I like how he likes everything. I'm SO obsessed about Bhutan.. I need to visit it, and I'm vegetarian & love spice so their food seems perfect for me. Thanks for your awesome videos!!
I love the total immersion into the cultures he explores. He's not The Food Network. It's about more than one day of what he eats, it's about the daily experience. My favorite food blogger by far.
I like that fact that Mark enjoys every bit of food there is, doesn't matter if it's the same dishes. Bhutanese food doesn't really have any variations.
i really want to try that emma datzi and ezay (sorry if i splet it incorrectly) !! maybe it's just me but i find these bhutanese series to be so comforting.
Do what I do, If I want to try something new I'll do my research on the recipe and make it at home. Right now I've been making a lot of Korean dishes. The food is delicious and I don't have a Korean restaurant in my hometown. But I have access to a great Asian grocery store, Amazon, CZcams, and other sites on the internet to look up videos. So I've been making a lot of Korean dishes at home for myself and my family. It's fun to try new foods plus I love to cook and bake. :D
Yeah Ebony, I liked your hot pot video and the Vietnamese rice paper roll ! yum. Bibimbap looked good as well, you're obviously a good cook. I'm still learning.
I have been to Bhutan..its really a wonderful country...very beautiful...the people their culture traditions really captivated me..i would like to visit again...love from INDIA...
I love all you videos Mark. Stay away from haters as they don't know this food make Bhutan people warm as it is cold weather most of time so they have less varieties. But you make for true followers hungry with your video. I don't mind to see same food again and again. Love you and your wife is look so cute just like a small baby in blanket 😁 😁 Just stay as you are don't listen to anyone. Love from India 😍 😘
Arpita Rathod Awesome well said, love the loves and positivity towards Mark and wife Ying, the Bhutanese series, the beautiful people, culture, humbleness, peace, serene surroundings, and of course the yummy foods of Bhutan. I love all Marks videos.
mark thank you very much for video i learn lott about bhutanese people and country and food i understand they eat same food almost everyday they grow their own organic food and that's the most healthiest food you can have the Bhutanese people they all look healthy
We're happy to hear that, Bunts05! Let us know if you need help planning and booking your trip. It was a pleasure to host Mark, and we can't wait to welcome fellow foodies.
When Mark and Ying visits a country, they do the "road less traveled" and immerse themselves in the culture, traditions and food of the locals.... this is how the people of Bhutan eats, that is whats available in their villages, home grown veggies, free range animals, and tons of cheese and chilles, they cook and eat what is available to them...Organic! not fast food, no preservatives, no process foods, no can foods, no hotdogs, no Mcdonalds.... Do not compare western foods to the food in `Bhutan....if you dont like their food, then dont go there, go to Europe or any country you want to visit where you can eat all the food you want.... this is Mark's vlog--his food and travel vlog, he can go where he wants to go and eat what he wants to eat.... thats what makes his videos unique.... you want to see other countries and eat the food you want to eat? then do your own vlog and feature your own travels...PEACE!
Love that food and the people are wonderful the land is so beautiful would love to spend time on a farm there rather than a hotel so much peace there, thank you Mark and Ying xxx I do have a comment for those who are putting the food down, most people there do not have much in the way of being able to grow food on a harsh land you complain that the food is boring but I find from what I have seen is that the food looks wholesome and very tasty their culture is beautiful and the people seem so respectful of others ad give what they have to feed others. Please don't disrespect them because the food is not to your liking or it looks the same and it may look the same but the taste is different in each house. Try to understand where they live and their culture .
thankyousooomuch mark--if not for ur amazing videos i won't have any idea of how BLESSED bhutan is--with breath-taking landscape..scenic views..gorgeous people tenzin is one..and the one in pony tail and cheychay (?!)--and the food--looks wonderful!!! ..GODBLESS u
It is simply looks delicious Mark and Ying! Mark eating similar type of food is because, I think climate, latitude of the land, soil looks Rocky! Only, those vegetables Mark eating do or grow well over there! The simple organic and non process food is delicious and healthy!
I am a fussy eater to have been since I was a child, I wouldn't eat eggs unless the yoke was the right color, really fussy about meats and how others cook them, just because people are fussy eaters doesn't mean they don't eat much texture in food is so complex those are other ways people are fussy, so Rozi Rana don't get upset over someone who is ignorant over things, I am glad that Mark and Ying have helped you to increase your diversity of different foods :)
Onglar No it's not I eat in restaurants and at other people's homes yes I am fussy but my fussiness is when meats are going rotten and how clean their kitchen are, and in my house I do all the cooking so I don't think I annoy anyone who cooks for me.
This series reminds me of the book Lost Horizon by James Hilton. In that story, a British diplomat is in a plane flying out of India that is hijacked and flown towards Tibet and crashes. He survives along with 3 others and they seek shelter in a Lamasery high up in the mountains. It is called Shangri La. Shangri La is supposed to be a sanctuary where all that is good and right in the world would survive an oncoming war of death and destruction from the skies. After that war was over the good things in life preserved by the Lamasery would be brought back to the world to provide relief from the emotional and physical exhaustion of the war. Thus too this series on Bhutan provides emotional relief from our daily 24-7 world of exhausting news and upsets. Yes the food is familiar and similar. Yes the serene scenery is similar. The people and buildings look similar. The point is to get lost in this world for awhile. To escape the madness we are bombarded with daily. That is what I am doing and I hope other people are getting the same thing.
i dont know but i really enjoy watching this bhutan series! although the food is similar....every family and every region has their own variations which makes it really interesting :)
It reminded me our trip to Darjeeling in February in 2011. We were sitting in the hotel next to the fireplace as long as we could, and slept with jackets and loads of blankets.
I for one am loving every video of BHUTAN!!! I'd love to visit there one good day!!!! so peaceful, and beautiful!!!! AGAIN keep of the FANTASTIC WORK MARK!!!
Really enjoying your Bhutan series, Mark! There is definitely a beautiful and untouched quality to it that is definitely making me consider it as an upcoming trip! What has been your favorite aspect of Bhutan so far? Also, your Istanbul series finally made me take the plunge and I booked my flight last week! Very excited! The best wishes to you and your family. Truly exceptional quality indeed.
to all the negative whiners. ..these are videos from 2 years ago...mark has had the added pressure of doing diplomatic balancing. ..mark and ying have been places alot of us will never see....I appreciate their videos soo much...the scenery is stunning!!!! if you think the food looks like it's getting boring ...can you imagine them having to eat it. .day in and day out!!! Id trade some repetitive healthy. ..hearty food that's grown right where they're eating it for the privilege of being allowed to film the beautiful countryside!!! these videos were held for 2 years by the Bhutanese government before they could show them. .. sorry for the rant. ..😊
just got bck from shopping n cant wait to watch ur video. love the breakfast cus it was so simple and so homey foods. beautiful forest and everythings seems so fresh and unpolluted. i want to try to cook that potatoes! the rest i dont think can get the ingredients in my place.
same here janet, although I'm not sure about the beef jerkey thing, I've never had beef jerkey in a dish before. Yes the potato thing I'll definitely try.
Kia Ora Mark and family, thank you for sharing the Bhutanese culture and the hospitality of the wonderful people. You are a very respectable individual, and I love the way you eat and express your food as precisely how your enjoying it, thank you for the awesome journeys. Bless you and your beautiful family. Arohanui Shandi 💙 🌸 🌿 🇳🇿🧜🏼♀️
These home cooked meals seem like simple but delicious. In this cold environment, the heavy, hot flavors from chili and cheese and fat can be a special temptation. May be it’s not a good idea to eat everyday, but interesting for traveling.
I love your videos Mark. The food you eat makes me really hungry. When I think of food I think of your videos because the food you eat looks so good. You can even see it in hus face. Pls come to San francisco
Great series on Bhutan. As always, an exploration of a culture's food is a doorway into its history and its development. What is in store for this country that appears to be holding on to its traditional way of life and yet as a result of opening its doors to trade and tourism looks like it has pretty well caught up with the rest of the modern world. These videos were done during a visit two years ago. I wonder if Mark went back in a year or two, what kind of changes he would find in the city/town centres and in the farmhouses where he's stayed.
WoW !! I learnt something new today ... didn't know that you could eat oats with curries as a savoury meal. Also, will be sure to try making the cheesy mushrooms. Love that we not only get to know what foods each ethnicity in each country eats, we also get a free tour of the place as if we personally went there on holiday too. Thank you once again Mark for the outstanding experiences, foods and travels 😀👌
I always thought that Bhutanese are all vegetarians, as shown in the books, but it turns out not. Sometimes, we must look beyond the books. Still loved the Bhutanese cuisine and their choice of flavors too.
I am loving this Bhutanese series. I love that your not staying in hotels all the time and that you are being immersed in the people, their homes, their culture and their cooking. I do see common dishes but it appears every home makes there food with love and slightly different. Just like if you told two chefs to cook something and gave them the same ingredients, each would make something different yet the same. There aren't conveniences of stores on every corner to supply food variety and refrigeration is not available in moat rural homes. The Bhutanese are eating what they can grow and preserve and making flavorful food at the same time. I know my mouth stills waters, even if I have seen the dish before, so they are doing something very remarkable.

Sonam I think the food and customs are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your culture. I’ve enjoyed the videos.
Indeed
I dont really care if almost every video in bhutan have same dish. But hey look at the scenery and view in Bhutan. It's so beautiful, refreshing and calm. :)
Eben Nezer but when u realize this is an eating channel, not travel channel.
ryudada actually it IS an eating AND travel channel. henceforth the blog name "migrationology"
@@ryudada Its both!
Absolutely a lovely and unique country. I guess the GNH is really working in Bhutan. I see even everyday people have enough for a good life. To any Bhutanese in here, I have great respect for your King Jigme Khesar Wangchuck. God bless you guys. From your Bangladeshi friend and neighbor.

No Junk Food
No Pollution
No Population
No Networks
Yes Happiness
Abdul Razzak Yes.. A great little nation...
ZKT XO Ohhh yes i forgot. 😬.
But than too peaceful life it seems.
better than "society"
There is network
Am I the only one who is enjoying the Bhutan series even if the food items are repeated.
Bhubaneswari Routray count me in! because i love chilli so much
Same here! chillies
Nope. The food looks good. I honestly, wouldn't mind living there. Seems peaceful enough, and I don't mind the cold weather.
Bhubaneswari Routray No, you're not. I didn't even hear of Bhutan until Mark went there so this is a perfect way for me to actually learn more about it and I'm glad he uploads so much
I love it, and I am really shocked at the rudeness of people here towards the Bhutanese culture!

Your country looks beautiful and the food delicious - ignore the rude people, they are only used to burgers, fries and Thai curries, apparently!
Yes I'm with germankiwigal, you come from a beautiful country, you should be proud of yourself.
Ahhh, the good old Nescafe mug. There must be one in every household across the world...
what i love about mark is he never complaints and always smiles taking in every culture ....and every moment ....
I love your Bhutan tour videos. I love the food because these are very healthy and natural, non-processed food. I can eat that daily.
Mark, great thing you are not doing a lot of "touristy stuff" in Bhutan rather tried to experience how it is to live like a local. Eat what they have and appreciates it. Thank you.
I get so excited every time I get a new video upload notification from you! 😍

Do what I do, If I want to try something new I'll do my research on the recipe and make it at home. Right now I've been making a lot of Korean dishes. The food is delicious and I don't have a Korean restaurant in my hometown. But I have access to a great Asian grocery store, Amazon, CZcams, and other sites on the internet to look up videos. So I've been making a lot of Korean dishes at home for myself and my family.
It's fun to try new foods plus I love to cook and bake. :D

I love this series! I am so enjoying seeing Bhutan and the traditional foods.
Another wonderful video on Bhutan. Such a positive and gentle country. Enjoying this series so much. Keep up the good work. Take care.
Mark you really appreciate simple food which is healthy. Fads come and go but good healthy food will always be there for ever.
I have been to Bhutan..its really a wonderful country...very beautiful...the people their culture traditions really captivated me..i would like to visit again...love from INDIA...
I love all you videos Mark. Stay away from haters as they don't know this food make Bhutan people warm as it is cold weather most of time so they have less varieties. But you make for true followers hungry with your video. I don't mind to see same food again and again.
Love you and your wife is look so cute just like a small baby in blanket 😁 😁
Just stay as you are don't listen to anyone.
Love from India 😍 😘
Exactly
Arpita Rathod Awesome well said, love the loves and positivity towards Mark and wife Ying, the Bhutanese series, the beautiful people, culture, humbleness, peace, serene surroundings, and of course the yummy foods of Bhutan. I love all Marks videos.
mark thank you very much for video i learn lott about bhutanese people and country and food i understand they eat same food almost everyday they grow their own organic food and that's the most healthiest food you can have the Bhutanese people they all look healthy
What a series.......the way you covered Bhutan, amazing. My next vacation will be Bhutan. Thanks Mark
We're happy to hear that, Bunts05! Let us know if you need help planning and booking your trip. It was a pleasure to host Mark, and we can't wait to welcome fellow foodies.
Wow beautiful place n all the food look very fresh and healthy. It's look every things new and organise . Love this Bhutan blog
mark, i normally don't comment but i must say that i'm enjoying these videos. Thank You.
I usually don't watch tv much, but when I do watch something I prefer to watch your videos.
When Mark and Ying visits a country, they do the "road less traveled" and immerse themselves in the culture, traditions and food of the locals.... this is how the people of Bhutan eats, that is whats available in their villages, home grown veggies, free range animals, and tons of cheese and chilles, they cook and eat what is available to them...Organic! not fast food, no preservatives, no process foods, no can foods, no hotdogs, no Mcdonalds....
Do not compare western foods to the food in `Bhutan....if you dont like their food, then dont go there, go to Europe or any country you want to visit where you can eat all the food you want.... this is Mark's vlog--his food and travel vlog, he can go where he wants to go and eat what he wants to eat.... thats what makes his videos unique.... you want to see other countries and eat the food you want to eat? then do your own vlog and feature your own travels...PEACE!
Love that food and the people are wonderful the land is so beautiful would love to spend time on a farm there rather than a hotel so much peace there, thank you Mark and Ying xxx
I do have a comment for those who are putting the food down, most people there do not have much in the way of being able to grow food on a harsh land you complain that the food is boring but I find from what I have seen is that the food looks wholesome and very tasty their culture is beautiful and the people seem so respectful of others ad give what they have to feed others. Please don't disrespect them because the food is not to your liking or it looks the same and it may look the same but the taste is different in each house. Try to understand where they live and their culture .
Well said . Keep it up . God bless you .
thankyousooomuch mark--if not for ur amazing videos i won't have any idea of how BLESSED bhutan is--with breath-taking landscape..scenic views..gorgeous people tenzin is one..and the one in pony tail and cheychay (?!)--and the food--looks wonderful!!!
..GODBLESS u
It is simply looks delicious Mark and Ying! Mark eating similar type of food is because, I think climate, latitude of the land, soil looks Rocky! Only, those vegetables Mark eating do or grow well over there! The simple organic and non process food is delicious and healthy!
These videos are one of your best Mark!!
I am a fussy eater but watching mark inspire me eat more 👍thank you
Well for your kind information I am mentally and physically fit person just because I am not a good eater doesn't makes me ill in any ways😑
I am a fussy eater to have been since I was a child, I wouldn't eat eggs unless the yoke was the right color, really fussy about meats and how others cook them, just because people are fussy eaters doesn't mean they don't eat much texture in food is so complex those are other ways people are fussy, so Rozi Rana don't get upset over someone who is ignorant over things, I am glad that Mark and Ying have helped you to increase your diversity of different foods :)
Thank you 😊
Onglar No it's not I eat in restaurants and at other people's homes yes I am fussy but my fussiness is when meats are going rotten and how clean their kitchen are, and in my house I do all the cooking so I don't think I annoy anyone who cooks for me.
well now you know why I'm fussy as some people don't care if their meat is going bad
Can't stop watching your video 😋
It's feel really nice actually Bhutan is my mum and dad birth place ❤️
This series reminds me of the book Lost Horizon by James Hilton. In that story, a British diplomat is in a plane flying out of India that is hijacked and flown towards Tibet and crashes. He survives along with 3 others and they seek shelter in a Lamasery high up in the mountains. It is called Shangri La. Shangri La is supposed to be a sanctuary where all that is good and right in the world would survive an oncoming war of death and destruction from the skies. After that war was over the good things in life preserved by the Lamasery would be brought back to the world to provide relief from the emotional and physical exhaustion of the war. Thus too this series on Bhutan provides emotional relief from our daily 24-7 world of exhausting news and upsets. Yes the food is familiar and similar. Yes the serene scenery is similar. The people and buildings look similar. The point is to get lost in this world for awhile. To escape the madness we are bombarded with daily. That is what I am doing and I hope other people are getting the same thing.
Hahahahaah omg i burst out laughing with the opening scene. You are so cute bundled up into a million blankets!!!
Beautiful place .... actually breath takingly beautiful ....
I love your Bhutan series Mark. I look forward to watching them when I get home from work. Thank you!
Haha Mr Mark i like the way you eat it's look so delicious and watering from my mouth and I'm also from bhutan
i dont know but i really enjoy watching this bhutan series! although the food is similar....every family and every region has their own variations which makes it really interesting :)
I enjoyed your walk around Phubjikha valley, its trees and the cranes.
sending some positivity to you and ying. namaste and hug.
It reminded me our trip to Darjeeling in February in 2011. We were sitting in the hotel next to the fireplace as long as we could, and slept with jackets and loads of blankets.
When the world was beautiful and safe
I for one am loving every video of BHUTAN!!! I'd love to visit there one good day!!!! so peaceful, and beautiful!!!! AGAIN keep of the FANTASTIC WORK MARK!!!
Oh my god. I would love to go horse trekking in this valley. It's *beautiful*.
Really enjoying your Bhutan series, Mark! There is definitely a beautiful and untouched quality to it that is definitely making me consider it as an upcoming trip!
What has been your favorite aspect of Bhutan so far?
Also, your Istanbul series finally made me take the plunge and I booked my flight last week! Very excited!
The best wishes to you and your family. Truly exceptional quality indeed.
to all the negative whiners. ..these are videos from 2 years ago...mark has had the added pressure of doing diplomatic balancing. ..mark and ying have been places alot of us will never see....I appreciate their videos soo much...the scenery is stunning!!!!
if you think the food looks like it's getting boring ...can you imagine them having to eat it. .day in and day out!!!
Id trade some repetitive healthy. ..hearty food that's grown right where they're eating it for the privilege of being allowed to film the beautiful countryside!!!
these videos were held for 2 years by the Bhutanese government before they could show them. ..
sorry for the rant. ..😊
just got bck from shopping n cant wait to watch ur video. love the breakfast cus it was so simple and so homey foods. beautiful forest and everythings seems so fresh and unpolluted. i want to try to cook that potatoes! the rest i dont think can get the ingredients in my place.
same here janet, although I'm not sure about the beef jerkey thing, I've never had beef jerkey in a dish before. Yes the potato thing I'll definitely try.
If you really want to try, give me your address I will send you dry beef
I should never watch on an empty stomach....I'm drooling
Kia Ora Mark and family, thank you for sharing the Bhutanese culture and the hospitality of the wonderful people. You are a very respectable individual, and I love the way you eat and express your food as precisely how your enjoying it, thank you for the awesome journeys. Bless you and your beautiful family. Arohanui Shandi 💙 🌸 🌿 🇳🇿🧜🏼♀️
beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing Mark...why is there rocks on the roofs?🤔puffed rice looks like rice crispys..😋
These home cooked meals seem like simple but delicious. In this cold environment, the heavy, hot flavors from chili and cheese and fat can be a special temptation. May be it’s not a good idea to eat everyday, but interesting for traveling.
I like Marks videos that is about food...but not only about food....Only food would be boring...plain...
I love your videos Mark. The food you eat makes me really hungry. When I think of food I think of your videos because the food you eat looks so good. You can even see it in hus face. Pls come to San francisco
Great series on Bhutan. As always, an exploration of a culture's food is a doorway into its history and its development. What is in store for this country that appears to be holding on to its traditional way of life and yet as a result of opening its doors to trade and tourism looks like it has pretty well caught up with the rest of the modern world. These videos were done during a visit two years ago. I wonder if Mark went back in a year or two, what kind of changes he would find in the city/town centres and in the farmhouses where he's stayed.
WoW !!
I learnt something new today ... didn't know that you could eat oats with curries as a savoury meal. Also, will be sure to try making the cheesy mushrooms. Love that we not only get to know what foods each ethnicity in each country eats, we also get a free tour of the place as if we personally went there on holiday too. Thank you once again Mark for the outstanding experiences, foods and travels 😀👌
Oh and those wooden bowls are beautiful!! I would love to have a set of them.
I agree Ebony, I thought the bowls and mug cups were lovely ! I want them too ! I wonder if they are home made?
yeah Ebony and Maron, I want that wooden mug cup, it'll go so nicely with my dining table.
Hey Mark this was a great Vid. I want to spend my next vacation like this, to live and eat with residents. Great !
Oat porridge is taken with salt in Scotland. I found it useful for combatting cramps in my legs when tackling the mountainous topography.
9:33-9:36 😂Love how he eats + enjoys!
10pm in Malaysia and u made me hungry every night Mark.
Get some Sarawak Laksa, you will be full for a week
I always thought that Bhutanese are all vegetarians, as shown in the books, but it turns out not. Sometimes, we must look beyond the books. Still loved the Bhutanese cuisine and their choice of flavors too.
I am so blessed to be born in Bhutan 😘😘😘
Thats my beautiful country.....
I miss my country and food
