Bhutan

In 2011 I visited Bhutan for a volunteer literacy residency supported by the Australia Council. This residency followed on from my first visit to Bhutan in 2005 as an Asialink Literature Resident. I love Bhutan; always will. In this photo I’m with a group of friendly school teachers from the Mongar region and I’m doing my best to blend in by wearing the national costume – the Kira!
