Some years ago something I read in some arm of the western
media led me to the view that Bhutan
was a quaint but rather backward country. It’s why I occasionally make jokes
(respectfully) about it on my blog.
So, I just came across a YouTube video of people from Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines, taking part in the Jerusalema dance challenge. First thought:
Bhutan has an airline? I thought they didn’t even have TV.
It got better. The landscape, the people, the architecture, all stunningly beautiful. (And they really do have an airline. Judging by the uniforms, it seems they even have women pilots.)
Now I want to go to Bhutan, if only to apologise for being led astray by some arm of the western media. No more jokes.
