      They don’t always, though.

      Traditional dress is still the most common clothing in Bhutan. For certain jobs, places, and ceremonies the traditional dress is mandated. Partly they want to keep their culture thriving, partly it’s an issue of respect, but for the greatest part, Bhutan is still a poor and remote country and most people don’t have a choice to buy more than their traditional basics. I find it very special indeed.

      When talking about Gross National Happiness (GNH), Bhutan is often on the short list. Of course, the results depend on the way the survey has been structured. For the last 6 years, Norway has been elected as having the happiest people in the world.
