We had a blast out on the town in Thimphu for New Year's Eve. At a fascinating talk in the afternoon, we met three expats who are teaching out at a college in Eastern Bhutan. Their stories of life out there were incredible, and I can't wait to visit the east now -- it sounds like a place of stunning beauty and very different from the capital.
We shared a couple beers after the talk, then the three of us women got our hair cut. I hadn't been planning on it, but I figured why not -- and guess what look I'm sporting now?? Hint: I haven't looked like this since I was about 10 and my mom cut my and my sister's hair exactly the same way.
For dinner, a delicious Thai restaurant, and then we visited a couple bar/restaurants for drinks. Lots of young people out on the street and in the hip bar we ended the night at. We even attempted to visit a discotheque -- but balked at the 1,500 Nu price tag (that is around $30-ish). Lovely way to end the year, and bring in the new one.
