Hello from Bhutan

Hi all in Blogger Land. This is Keshav Raj Gurung. It's my first time ever blogging though I have seen a few blogs before. Along with my partners I have a travel agency in Thimphu, yup-that is the capital, if it was up to me maybe I could have jazzed up the name, like the City of Diamonds or something along those lines.

Well, tomorrow is the Bhutanese New Year. I think the Chinese had theirs yesterday. Ours should be together with the Tibetans. Don't know who's wrong and who's right but guess it'll just be same sh*t, different year. Those Mayans really let us down...

I'm just scribbling along, if you can call the punching of these keys scribbling. And speaking of keys, why are they called keys?? Just coz a piano's thingys are called keys too? So where are the locks is the question that automatically pops in my mind.

Anyway, I guess I got to promote my site as well...that's how I landed up here... one link leading to another and so on....God knows where the first page I started from is...well, my page for tourists is (www.TouristBhutan.com)... if you are interested in coming to the Himalayas and having tea with the yeti visit this site. Actually, yetis are probably a bit out of the question, they are too shy- you got to know them for a while before they open up... but they do have plaster casts made from the yetis' footprints at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests but only the yeti knows if it is for real, may a guy with gout went stomping around the snow.... and oh, the Royal Government's policy for tourists is US$ 250 per tourist per day (US$200 off season when the yeti hibernates). That's their policy to dissuade backpackers and the like and before you forget, I'm no Government so not my rule.... and they enforce a commission of US$25 per tourist per day to the partner abroad, like you, is what I'm offering to you if you would like to be partners who send tourists to Bhutan....with us ;-). You can access the website through www.BhutanRebirth.com.bt/start.htm also.

Hey, if this is blogging and I can just let my thoughts flow and my 2 index fingers do the talking it is quite good fun, this sharing, like an AA meeting, in fact,....only, just remember to clap when I'm done...

and that's it... see ya another time...

Keshav.
