Gonna drop a collection of toots here with pictures from the Haa Festival in Bhutan this weekend. Lovely folks. Lovely culture. Lovely momos!

First photo is my man Tshering who is the reason I'm here.

We have a lot of fun at the stalls. Everybody so generous with the smiles!

Every festival has chams (spiritual dances) at the center. Bring in the good luck, push away the evil.

Momo magic! Little balls of delight. Sometimes cheesy. Sometimes beefy. Always tasty!

Still a little obsessed with the masked dancers. Especially when the mask is off. The strength and still required to do this stuff is quite amazing.

Still gets me every time. Dad's being good dad's. So many of the men here in Bhutan are so deeply involved in the care of their children.

@ewen Superb photos! Love the composition.

You should try a bowl of thukpa with ema datshi if you get a chance.

@ewen Love these! Brings back memories of Sikkim! So intensely satisfying - pan fried or in some soul-restoring broth!
@ewen momos taste fantastic, but so hard to find outside of the Himalayas.

Where I live in Melbourne has the highest density of momo shops in the southern hemisphere :) We're 100m from the Nepalese embassy and a Nepalese IT school.

@ewen I'll Keep this in mind if I'm ever in Melbourne.

This lovely lady was one of the dancers on the main stage. Her hubby was one of the masked dancers too. They have to take turns to hold their sleeping baby all day!
