In general, travellers to Bhutan are advised to not give candy, gum, pens, balloons, money etc to children, who soon
\nlearn to demand gifts. I thought this is pretty good.. cos Bhutan has got good education for the kids, and
\nthe last we should do is to encourage this kind of negative culture there.. <\/p>\n
However, on the visit to one of the Dzong, we saw a group of foreigners (wif big video cameras, and DSLR)
\ngetting a little monk to walk to and fro inside the Dzong (sort of to pose for the cameras) , and finally giving him some
\nmoney after that for his efforts..<\/p>\n
I was disappointed by this group of foreigners. I am sure they would have been advised not to do
\nsuch acts.. But they did it just to get their shots. I think as travellers and photographers, we should learn to respect
\nthe country that we are visiting. Such acts may work in certain countries, but not for some other places.<\/p>\n
I would urge fellow travellers not to condone such activities when they visit Bhutan, and also learn to respect
\nother people\u2019s culture.. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
