One of the poorest countries in the world which needed urgently help from outside. This impressing country was isolated from the rest of the world.
Only a limited number of visitors were allowed to travel there. If I were looking for the real Buddhism I should better visit Bhutan as early as possible.
It took a while until I visited Bhutan in 1999 together with Harald and Angelika Nestroy who married in Thimphu in a Buddhistic ritual. I was the witness of the marriage. My first impressions were overwhelming. I hade during the past years visited many Asian countries but Bhutan was very special. I fall in love with this country and the wonderful friendly people.The first project was the construction of a hospital in Punakha, the previous capital of Bhutan.
