520    The tiny Kingdom of Bhutan, at the eastern end of the 
       Himalayas, nestles between the giant nation states of 
       China and India. Often called the Land of the Thunder 
       Dragon," it remained secluded until recent times the first
       ever "tourist" set foot in Bhutan in 1974 and was followed
       by the introduction of television and new technology at 
       the turn of the 21st century. In 2008, Bhutan became the 
       world's youngest democracy, moving from an absolute to a 
       constitutional monarchy in a historic change initiated by 
       the revered and much-loved Fourth King, Jigme Singye 
       Wangchuck. A sovereign country throughout the ages, Bhutan
       is now establishing its place on the world stage and 
       demonstrating leadership on climate and environmental 
       issues. It is determined to maintain its Buddhist culture 
       and way of life as it evolves and adapts to political 
       change and economic challenges. Its unique development 
       policy of "Gross National Happiness," which measures 
       progress not through material gain but on a happiness 
       scale, is generating global interest. The abundant 
       hospitality of the Bhutanese, the variety of Bhutan's 
       ancient monasteries and colorful festivals, and its near-
       perfect ecosystem and natural beauty never fail to reward 
       the traveler. Culture Smart! Bhutan will give you a deeper
       insight into the country's history, values, and customs, 
       as well as practical guidance on how to develop a 
       meaningful rapport with the Bhutanese.".
