Trip to Bhutan: Conference Day 2

Remember with every trip you take, you become just a little wiser.

Givin Speech
On the second day of Conference, we had a session of a noble person from Brahmakumari and Ritzel (from Switzerland). Both were a little bit boring and educating, I mean everyone has their own perspective, this is mine. Then Dr. Malhotra (GERA President) was awarded with Lifetime Achievement award, the biggest award anyone can achieve in their life followed by feedback session from every country representatives and in last there was a general body meeting of GERA members, as I was a partial member, so I thought it won’t look good to join it. So I escaped from there. 
Group Pic
Also I had to attend and enjoy with Bhampi and Photographer of our crew, so the three Musketeers started our journey towards Rimpung Dzong (Paro Dzong), clicked dozens of pictures in and started ultimate trek towards the Museum, which came out to be a very hectic one. It is located on the hilltop. Actually previously it was a watch tower, so obviously it is located at huge height, slowly slowly we reached at the top by crossing lot of hurdles, plants and mountain. A surprise was waiting for us at the top. As soon as we reached at top, it was CLOSED, never the less as I always say, the journey to the top was more important than the Museum.

Playing Archery
Anyways we had a nice talk with the caretaker of Museum for like an hour and then we took rest over there for a while until we were told to move out of the area as it was dawning. We took pics there too and came down to meet rest of our crew, first we thought to have dinner, then we thought, that rest crew might not have had anything, so it’s better to ask them. So we moved towards guest house. When we met them, they were ready with bread jam and cake for us. We had our dinner and then cleared all the money accounts.

Admin Team
After this entire tiring journey, we thought that we should have sleep and get ready for the biggest adventure-Tigers Nest. So the lady department moved to their quarters and we also slipped in beds. After 5 minutes, none of us was feeling sleepy, so we again woke up and thought of having some more snacks and tea. We invited girls also, but they weren't ready to come out. That’s natural and was as expected; our photographer took the role of chef and prepared black tea as we didn't have milk. I must say, it was the scariest drink; I ever had in my life. It was so horrifying that I had stomach problems complete night.

Lifetime Achievement Award
Overall day was cool. One more crazy incident took place @ night, we had to book cab for Tigers Nest but we didn't had any Bhutanese Sim, so we started searching for people to get a mobile phone, so that we can make call (we were in another country, we didn't had local sim). There was a house in which few lights were lit, we knocked their doors in night to get a cell phone and booked our cab. It was a new thing that I had tried in my life, seriously we learn a lot from travelling.
