We were told by the tour guide that the crime rate in Bhutan is very low because people are fervent believers of Buddhism and karma. I can believe it. They don't even kill mosquitoes, how can they even hurt others?

When the leader of a country is so caring and ethical, down to the policies of the country - no fishing or farming (no harming animals), building the country in a way that cares for its people - encouraging local industries and local trades. Going for hydropower because it's clean energy and a way of building up the country that is harmless to the environment..how can u not fall in love with the country and the way of the people? How can you not also start to revere and respect the kings? I don't think I've ever respected any king so much as the 4th king of Bhutan.
