Bhutan

I absolutely must see this country at some point in my life. Every time I hear or read something about Bhutan or talk to a Bhutanese person I get the distinct and urgent feeling that I NEED TO GO TO BHUTAN! NOW!!!

They have just crowned a new king, and this story from the BBC is a beautiful bit of journalism.



Also, the Loi Krathong festival is this week in Thailand. I was fortunate enough to see it last year and the year before, but unfortunately not this year. I believe I posted a blog this time last year about the festival...anyway, here are some photos from a few days ago, courtesy of an acquaintance living in Chiang Mai.
