Bhutan in September
Hello, Emma. My tour guide Sonam Norbu can be reached at ubron_11@yahoo.com I would suggest you give yourself time to adjust to the altitude before doing Tiger\'s Nest Monastery. As for the Dzongs, all 3 are good to visit: Paro, Thimpu and Punakha. September is a good month as there are festivals then. But that also means you make early arrangements.

Love your photos
I visited the 'Orienten' Hotel only one time and like you, fell in love with its charm and beauty. We had drinks and wandered around, but it was at night, so my photos are not as good as yours. Thank you for sharing. Brings back memories of good times and good friends for me.

Thanks for the memories
I have visited the Oriental since I was a child in the 1950's, and just as with you, I have only eaten there and as a teenager used their swimming pool although I wasn't a guest...I got the managers permission. The last time I ate there was in 2007 in their coffee shop. I paid 450 baht for fried rice, and I had my three kids with me so multiply that by four. I guess most of that went for the ambiance. I enjoy reading your blogs. The last time I was in the Philippines was 1959...Manila and the Dole pineapple plantation on Mindanao.

Naalala ko nong ka kit pa ako nagluluto kami ng cassava puto with young coconut bokayo. I can't remember how my mother made them and the recipe. How I wish I can find the recipe.

The initial "shock" wore off. The Divine Madman truly takes the "malice" out of your system ;-)

An Entertaining and (dare I say it...) Stimulating Blog
I never knew that wooden phalluses are religious icons in Bhutan. It would be an interesting experiment to give these divine items as gifts for friends and family back home.

Shane, get one for me!
I was too shy to get myself one. My major regret! You must promise to get me one when you visit Bhutan. And do bring some chocolates for my Bhutanese "son" when you meet him :-)

Joycee!
You and Paquito should go. It may sound strange, a tad odd, but I'm sure you'd end up with nothing but deep respect for their culture and their beliefs.

I was laughing while writing it!
To this day, the memories still make me smile, and then laugh. But seriously, I have nothing but deep respect for the Bhutanese and their culture. They are genuinely welcoming and open to friendship.

Not enough notches? 5,000 women, my friend. That's quite a record. It's mind-blowing!

Bhutan - Fantastic! Advice wanted :-)
Hello Liliram Your trip to Bhutan looks fantastic. I am planning to go there in September this year. Do you have the name of the tour agency you went with? The places you went and the way you describe your experience is very inspiring. Do you have any other tips for the aspiring traveller? Thanks Emma
