Bhutan just sounds lovely. The education system is in English, so the people with educations speak perfect English. And were also chatty and friendly and wanted to talk about Bhutan. I always like watching craftspeople work at the festival. This guy is showing how he would hack up a piece of wood, although, yeah, he wouldn't be starting with a piece of treated lumber at home:

The national sport is archery and, wow, the target is really far away from where the archers stand. The guy in the foreground was explaining it to the audience - he's a journalist and speaks perfect English.


I really liked the NASA stuff, too. I went to a talk about space food packaging and had a nice long chat with a guy who works on this - I get press releases about it every week but have no idea why I should care about it.

I saw an awesome mariachi band in the Texas area! Really! I was expecting pure cheese, but got musicianship and great singing.
Bhutan: enchanting! From their boots to their wooden bowls to their yak-hair tents. Unfortunately, you, your employer, and everyone else were right: The government charges you lots of money for the privilege of visiting. Maybe I should find a more lucrative career.
