I enjoyed watching your interview and got to know you more. Well done for promoting our Bhutanese culture. You can take a Bhutanese out of Bhutan but you cannot take Bhutan out of a Bhutanese.

Welcome to New York! I am a big "fan" of your kingdom, monarchy and culture. Alas, with advancing age and the Wuhan Virus, I may never see Bhutan. Such is life!
