Thimphu

I was almost to the point of tears.

I went to my roommate and said, Why did I come here? To compare my life in Thimphu, I lived like a prince.

Then I thought, man, man, man, you can't just think now.

You came here, decided, strong will of choice.

But

I think there are people who ask me, are you not scared? People are more focused into going things wrong and then they are scared to do things.

then I would ask, what is the possibility of going something wrong? What is the possibility of encountering a bear in the forest? And I always tell them, the possibility or probability to meet an accident when you're driving between Thimphu Paro is higher than the probability of meeting a bear in the forest.

That's what I'm saying.
