@thaischumba : well you know in Buthan they don't have galleries or bridges, so their only roads are stll built on the side of the mountains. In the rainy season they have lots of landslides and many of the roads need to be re-opened by bulldozers. But drivers are very skilled :)

@scardin Got it! Well, but Buthan seems to be a great country! I'm studing about them and i'm fascinated! I'm working on a paper about their pastimes... I'm sorry for asking but do you have any idea if their government finances any movie or tv channel or some plays or music? Thank you for answering me =)

@thaischumba : they have a pretty original organization and political system. I've just visirted ten days, so I'm not in a position to say much about the country, but my perception is that they are ruled by a king that is enlightened. He is very young and has been studying abroad, but it is probably his father who "resigned" at only 50 or so and who really made things happen in terms of reforms. Their economy, as far as I could see is strongly supported and linked to India.

@thaischumba you might also look for "Gross National Happines" in google: in Buthan, the have developed a very original position when it comes to measuring progress, as opposed to the Gross Nationa Product usual method
