On the way between Trongsa and Zhemgang.
A picture of phalluses painted on the side of houses is quite a common site in Bhutan. The phalluses are that of the Divine Madman and recall his legendary sexual exploits, thereby serving as a symbol of fertility. The phallus is not considered objectionable in Bhutan. Indeed, the phallus may date to Bhutan's ancient Bon religion, adopted from Tibet long before Buddhism.

This is a great tip. Thank you. I think that this will work if you have the visitors coming in the first place. Sometimes it is very difficult to get people to comment and interact. I am in the process of writing a series that I am hoping will generate some interaction!

Nice post. I be taught something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It should at all times be stimulating to read content material from different writers and practice somewhat one thing from their store. I’d choose to make use of some with the content on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link in your web blog. Thanks for sharing. casino games
