The pictures of Paro in "Paro". Buthan was really a fantastic country I loved it! Take care Isabelle --- "It is far more better to have seen it once than to have heard about it a thousand time."

That was my question. Right, Bhutan is a wonderful country. Did you see my reports?

Sadly all metros, cities, municipalities, towns, villages, holdings and points are all called "CITY"! I wish so much that we could change the name to correctly and simply: "place" or "target" or "location", best is very short "place"?

Example: Gangtey Gonpy, as far as I know, what is meant, is Gangte Goempa, meaning the temple of Gangte. Or: Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, USA, is now situated in the UK. Or: when I search for the town of Soest, nothing is told me, So I can't suggest this place as a new destination. I hope Andi will read this. Thank you for your answer. I feel better now.
