    It's 50 years ago this month since I went to Bhutan for the first time. In those days Thimphu was just a village made up of mainly wooden buildings and was reached by a long road journey from the border town of Phuntsholing. Tourism had not started yet. In some places I went to I was the first European people had seen.The Tigers Nest I visited was destroyed in a fire in 1998 but has been amazingly rebuilt. What a feat or architecture and engineering. It was an unforgettable experience. Subsequent visits have never been able to match it.

    I went up to the Tiger's Nest by horse for the livelihood of the people and came down by walking. It's really a breathtaking experience. Inside the temple we chant the AMITABHA SUTRA.
    NAMO AMITABHA🙏🙏🙏

    The entire country should be a UNESCO Heritage site. These sites shown were magnificently built when Europe and America were in the midst of the slave trade. The monastery built into the cliff of a mountain had to be supported by the Divine Cosmic Beings of Light. I love the colors of this country. When beautiful art is created by hand such as the tapestries/ rugs/ carpets there is no need to say “expensive” because they are truly worth whatever they ask.

      but it will be interesting to see how your channel *grows* in content.. & hope to get to southern Africa someday.. and i heard *Bitcoin* is huge over there.. because.. the economy.. true??
      my own mother has already visited there, a few years ago with friends - and after she was over 80 years old!😯
      but it was an organized tour, so i worried a little less about my elderly mum traipsing off to a far away continent.. with her buddies.

    The best nostalgia of Bhutan is tiger nest hike ... been twice to tiger nest , once alone and second time wd my partner , the hike is so interesting , the steepness and walking among clouds the chilled air , then the ever strenuous stairs ,,,, but in the end the spectacular tiger nest ........ thanks for making me remember the hike again ... beautiful video .... paro dzong is also very nice ... Bhutan taught how to be disciplined how to be happy always .... Bhutan is reaLly the land of peace and happiness ... it’s really great to see u visit there .... next time when u visit Bhutan try to be in Haa , bumthang and Trongsa . Winter in Bhutan is just another thing , it’s just wow.

    The video has so many beautiful parts; the ascent/descent/ascent trail and then the Tiger's nest, the National Memorial Chorten and the spinning , of the bells, the young woman, at 7:12, who is weaving the very intricate whatever it is, is amazing, and, at 8:58, the contrast, in lifestyles. The four older men dressed in traditional clothes vs the young bridge security guard, who seems bored and is hand drumming, on probably a 400 year old railing. I would love to know what song is running through his head.
    Weekly, you take us to places that, from our normal perspective, might as well be on the far side of the moon. Thank you. You might try that day trip to Galveston. Roll the windows down, turn up the Beach Boys, ride the ferry, and stop, at Gaidos Seafood, on Seawall Blvd. Good stuff.

    Bhutan has displaced more than 200, 000 their own people of Nepalese descendants at gun point. Elderly, sick, disabled, pregnant women, children runway at night to their safety. They watched their home burnt, they weeped as they left their very sick loved ones, pets and their animals behind. Their loved ones died in prison just because of xenophobia.
    Bhutan has inflicted pains and suffering that will last for generations to come. Still these disabled people long to go back home but it is impossible. Now they are displaced around the world, some couldn’t cope and have committed suicides. Most are leaving with trauma.
