Siamo una famiglia Indo-Italiana. Dal 2023 siamo in Bhutan! Dopo anni di vita caotica a Delhi, ci siamo trasferiti a Varese. Abbiamo goduto dei nonni, degli amici, della natura. Ci siamo adagiati in una vita sicura. Stavamo però cercando un’avventura, a livello professionale per noi, e culturale, per poter crescere come famiglia. Eccoci quindi in Bhutan! Abbiamo trovato un posto meraviglioso, una cultura basata su rispetto, pazienza ed empatia. Speriamo che questi racconti possano far conoscere un po' della cultura Bhutanese. E magari ispirare qualche famiglia a partire!
Rakhi, Nora, Neal, Marco e Ray
A long due update and some plans for friends to visit Bhutan and travel to attend the Highland Festival in Laya, one of the most spectacular Festival of Bhutan! Season 2 is here;)
An episode monopolized by Neal's narration and where we do not say anything about Ray! Some experiences in Punakha and some beautiful birds, the black-necked cranes (Grus nigricollis) that are winter visitors of the Phobjikha Valley in Bhutan during winter months. Thanks to their presence the Phobjikha Valley is protected. Since many activities are not allowed, the government is trying to support the tourist economy. You'll also discover that TVs are not part of the hotel's furnitures. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quattropiuuno/message
It's Sunday Morning and we talk a bit about the food in Bhutan from our balcony! We thought the spring arrived but it was just kidding with us! This was a month ago and cold still stayed with us, now may be she'll manage it (the Spring)! Buon appetito! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quattropiuuno/message
Our first Movie in a theatre in Bhutan! (Bellissimo!) A personal family review of the movie, a hint about the special souvenirs of Bhutan ;) and finally updates on Ray and Italian soccer teams! Following up his Oscar-nominated debut film “Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom,” Bhutanese filmmaker Pawo Choyning Dorji's “The Monk and the Gun” is a droll political satire set in the year 2006 as the Kingdom of Bhutan transitions towards becoming the world's youngest democracy. Lusciously lensed by cinematographer Jigme Tenzing (our new friend here!), the ensemble comedy examines how the country's upcoming mock elections affect the titular monk, a rural family, an election official, and a desperate liason from the city, all of whose lives collide in minor and major ways. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quattropiuuno/message
The Ancient Trail or the Ancient Takin Trail is one of the shortest and most beautiful trails in Thimphu, the trail starts from upper Motithang and eventually ends near the Takin enclosure gate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quattropiuuno/message
This is our first, recorded during a short trek to a monastery within the valley of Thimpu, our new house for the next few years. With us was our cat Ray that was welcomed into the temple. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quattropiuuno/message
