If you're thinking of going to Bhutan...don't. Bhutan is a tiny slice of the Himalayas tucked neatly inside China and borders India. Not so easily accessible. Okay so here's the straight dope on travel to Bhutan. It's really freaking expensive. So freaking expensive as to give rich people pause and a moment of economic reflection before booking a trip to not even close to paradise. Bhutan is on average 8000 feet above sea level and that translates to oxygen transpiration of minimal abundance. You'll not be able to breath. Anyway, the "authorities" that lord it over Bhutan have decided that anyone desiring to visit Bhutan will now pay an entrance fee of $200.00 dollars U.S. a day and gimme a sec while I google up the what ifs on Bhutan currency...okay I'm back, Bhutan uses the Indian Rupee and 1 rupee equals 0.013 dollars. That's about 1 penny and a bit so an American dollar can buy a mountain of rupees. Anyway and so...Bhutan hasn't been getting enough bang for their rupee and have jacked the entrance fee on a daily basis due each and every day one might stay in Bhutan. There's also an enormous amount of other fees that aren't included in a Bhutan entrance fee. You know like airfare, lodging, meals, tips for the numerous servants, and not to mention cars or those little put-put gizmos that are ever so popular in places like India, Bhutan, Nepal, and all points Asia. Probably in China as well but China doesn't talk about that. Loose talk rattles those commie Chinese bastards to no end. Communist China is "moving forward to a brave new commie century." Just ask them and they'll deny everything. Especially regarding those rickety put-put thingies. Anyway one last time, it seems that Bhutan has just about priced themselves out of the travel market. Why in hell anyone would want to travel to Bhutan is way beyond me. Just to be able to say you did that? Nah...no thanks. I prefer closer to sea level. Oh yes and a desert landscape is always a nice thing. Now for some Wednesday machine art.
