Tshering Wangmo, the owner of the Thimphu Tower where we stayed. We had several meetings on hotel operations. She was interested to learn anything and everything about the hotel business after I had introduced myself to her.

Tashi Dorji, our country guide, and our driver Ghembo. What they are wearing is the traditional clothing worn by the majority of all men in the country of Bhutan. Inside the cloth flap you see from the neck to the waist at a 45 degree angle across the front chest area of the body is an area to put wallet, cell phone and anythng else they may need to carry. There are no pockets.
