Downtown Thimphu

Yes this was downtown Thimphu in august 2006. There were lots of developement and construction going on. This is also the main shopping street of Bhutan. 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the only form of traffic control when I was there in 2006. No traffic lights only a policeman directing traffic from his post. You could probably find clips of him in action on You tube.

 

 

 

Paro market
