Travel Talk - Ladakh (India) and Bhutan


Third and last presentation for the year after Jordan and Russia - Travel Talk: Ladakh (India) & Bhutan. Am so elated it was well received. Interestingly the group has not had any presenters on Bhutan in a long time so that generated a lot of interest. My next slot is for Feb.....topic Afghanistan! So excited. 2018 calendar is already filled up for the group...wow.

Every session is a learning experience, with the participants sharing rich and interesting travel experiences.... After the presentation ended at 6:30, a small group ended up staying until 9 today, one never gets bored with these conversations! A member who is now retired was a English language instructor and lived in Japan for many years. So the learning for today is about Haiku, a short form of Japanese poetry and that it is characterized by 17 syllables, in three phrases of 5, 7, 5.
