Bhutan boom is coming! ?
On the weekend, I went to the only Bhutan restaurant in Japan in the Yoyogi-Uehara "Gatemotabun (Gatemo Tabum)" (Shibuya-ku Uehara). Bhutan is India, China, while a country adjacent to Nepal, unfamiliar country is in Japanese. Because, Bhutan is also what has been continue to protect their own culture in the long isolation policy, its presence and information's what is only recently began to go into our ears. The influence of culture and economy from these other countries had little is, might reason called a good way naive personality, beautiful environment and traditional culture remains still now, the last paradise on earth, unexplored region, the mystery of the country Hmm.Also we must learn to Bhutan, the fact that "What is true happiness?". Countries called developed countries, but have made certainly tremendous economic development, people who suffer from poverty on the other hand, up to the environmental destruction and war, not the only people who necessarily happiness. Bhutan king to teacher other hand these developed countries, advocates the concept of Gross National Happiness (Gross National Happiness) in the 1980s. "While developing the economy, inherited the traditional culture, holding the natural environment, and people to a balanced nation-building of the balance equally," so to speak, the economic superpower is economic development in the GNP (gross national product amounts) Unlike measure, in the Bhutan is why have first priority to "Do Bhutan people can live how happy." Recently here, finally of it slow life in Japan, but the word Rojas's of ... is now touted as the trend, in the small country of Bhutan from now more than 20 years ago these ideas had been proposed. That we live in the world and the ruler is different, I can not help but remember the great excitement with surprise. Economically despite the is not never blessed, happy view of people is higher than any other country. In "thing overflowing society ≠ happiness" We Japan is might no longer difficult..., Likely are also many places that must be emulated in Bhutan.
And, but is Bhutan information of showers charged obtained in this weekend, is this not, is not for me was a big shock. Well, but the story is now very long, but is Bhutan cuisine to be worried about, this also surprised! Bhutan cuisine in Thailand, South Korea, painful to more than India, so I'm a world of spicy cuisine. I ate Pakusha (Photo right: pork stew), etc. Emadatsui (stew of cheese and pepper), said that me to suppress the hotness for the Japanese, for a while tingling tongue. The taste is not particularly also habit, only those that fit the Japanese, it was quite delicious. Also not a Bhutanese cuisine, but special ginger ale of this shop is also GOOD. Than the commercial ginger ale, flavor and aroma of ginger has been condensed. When you stop by, please try by all means.
Then, it will soon publish the movie to hunch the future of Bhutan boom (?). Kotaro Isaka original movie "Duck and duck coin lockers". Story Sendai to move in, have Shiina for university entrance (Gaku Hamada) is, meet strange neighbor, Kawasaki (Eita). Despite the first meeting, do not read on the grounds that in order to present the Kojien to Bhutan students Dorji (Tamao Tamura) living in the same apartment, the ..., and quite ahead. Offer a plan to hit the bookstore deployment. Mystery it is not (because it does not yet seen, but can not comment is interesting). Movie than June 23,Ebisu Garden CinemaIn will be screened start. After If you are interested in Bhutan, I watched a movie, why not try to go out to Bhutan cuisine.
