My client today is an immigrant woman from Bhutan. Her ancestral background is with the Sharchops, an Indo-Mongoloid peoples. Despite Sharchops being the largest ethnic group in Bhutan, they're marginalized due to the Dzongkha-speaking Bhutanese societal & government powers. She came to Canada in 1999, after marrying a Canadian man who she met while working in neighbouring India.

I made her some steamed ginger cod & steamed rice. Bought a dragonfruit. That's her lunch. She asked for a fish dish.

I'm learning more about Bhutan, from this wonderful client 😊 I don't really know too much about that country. I only know they're very eco conscious, excel in biodiversity & sustainable green policies.
