A/V Speech: A slice of Bhutan

Kuzu-zangpo-la!

Who we are and what truly makes us unique is the places we are from, the familiar landscapes we call home and where our roots lie.

Travelling over the little pond called the Atlantic Ocean, I bring with me a completely different world. I am delighted to be able to experience such a range of cultures and also have the ability to compare and contrast them to my own. Though I probably talk about it a lot, I am very proud of where I come from and of the place I call home. Which is why I'm doubly as excited to show you a video of where I am from and when I get the chance to talk about home ^0^

The video I have selected to present, is an interview held with the Director of Tourism of Bhutan, Mr. Kesang Wangdi. I love the images in this video and though it might have a serious side to it, I feel it does justice to Bhutan and gives a sneak peek into where I am from.

I hope you enjoy: ^_^



There is more to the interview and if you are interested to hear more you can click on the link below (:
http://www.travelmole.tv/watch_multiplevdos.php?sid=0&id=15472 I urge you all to learn more about Bhutan and if you ever have any questions feel free to ask ^_^*

If you all haven't guessed by now from our uncanny resemblance, that's my dearest father♡ So I hold this video close to my heart for more than one reason ^o^

Bhutan is often considered to be a hidden kingdom, tucked away in the Himalayas. My wish is to, in my own small way, bring Bhutan to the fore front of the world and to let others experience the beauty of my culture☆

So, Thank you very much for allowing me to take you on that little trip* & I hope this encourages everyone to reach out and learn about other cultures, not limiting to mine alone.

We need to learn to reach out beyond the places we call home, in the hopes to become a global community for the ongoing battle we must fight against the plauging issues of the world. As his majesty the fifth King of Bhutan was quoted in a speech to graduating college students last year:

 "We must never forget that for lasting peace and happiness in this world, the journey forward has to be one that we must all make together. No one should be left behind "

His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck
Today is actually his birthday! Long live the Druk Gyalpo♡

So from this small step of learning about a small country in Bhutan, I hope we push out and learn more about other cultures and places others call home. So we can broaden our bonds and perspective of the world.

Tashi Delek!
