I don't remember anything about the proposed Gelephu Mindfulness city, but many of the other things you discuss, positive and negative, were apparent when I was there. Thanks for mentioning the Hindu minority, who don't fit into this happiness plan at all. I'm all for what Bhutan is trying to achieve, but like any national plan, it's complicated.
Thanks for reading, Brad. ☺️ Yes, implementing a grand plan is always the challenging part. Although the country is so small, (predominantly) homogeneous, and with a benevolent dictator (King, in this instance), it just might work. I'm rooting for them!
Love this honest take and window into a unique developing country often shrouded in mystery. I’ve always wanted to go, maybe one day when the GMC opens up (such a strange and interesting idea).

Thanks for reading, Ruby! 😊 Yes Bhutan is quite the anomaly and I'm so interested to see how their experiments work.
I'll be going back to participate in the building of the GMC. Want to go with me?!
Don’t tempt me with a good time 😉
Thank you for
the restack, Yuusuke! 🌻
