Yes, I saw it on the news, and to me what a challenge they both will have: to keep the country as it is and not lose its identity, yet progress. And hadn't I read somewhere once, that this is one of the happiest countries in which to live??

Yes, Bhutan has a Happiness Index, not GDP.

They do have some negatives, I think the non-Buddhist minority has faced repression at times. Still they are a fascinating country that is fairly stable and happy considering their low level of Human-Development.

Lovely. I met Princess Sonam in Tonga a few years ago at the coronation of Tonga's King. She seemed very nice.

Here is a pic from one of the festivities.
