Creepy guys in the Gambia usually keep talking to us if they find out we are from the US. So Christy and I have started telling guys who yell out "Where are you from" that we are from Bhutan. More specifically, the royal mountain kingdom of Bhutan. They have no idea where or what Bhutan is, so it pretty much ends the conversation and it amuses me EVERY time. Chirsty and I have attempted to learn as much as possible about this country and everything we learn makes us want to go there even more. First of all, it looks like Rivendell (the elf city), it has snow leopards, it's pretty much untouched by the outside world, and the people draw 6 foot penises on their houses to keep evil spirits away. AND it's the Land of the Thunder Dragons.
We went to Happy Camp's Halloween party last night and Christy convinced a guy that we were visiting from Bhutan and that I was actually dating the prince but we were having problems at the moment because the king didn't approve of me. The guy got really upset and said something like "How can the king not like her!? She's very pretty!" I laughed. A lot.
Me, Musa, Hady, and some guy in my space invader headgear.
Me as a stegosaurus.
I thought Bhutan was a made up country until i google searched it and saw it's somewhere in the Himalayas...it's weird to think people exist outside of the U.S.
