課程1:

文化角

Hello, everyone! I’m your friend, Lem, and welcome to Intercultural Corner! Today, we are traveling to a small, peaceful country in the Himalayas — Bhutan. Bhutan is known for its happiness, nature, and deep traditions. Let’s explore what makes Bhutan so special!

Bhutan is famous for its policy called Gross National Happiness, or GNH. Instead of only measuring money or business, Bhutan measures how happy and healthy its people are. The government focuses on well-being, culture, and nature, which makes life calm and balanced.

Bhutan also protects its environment. Most of the country is covered with forests, and Bhutan is the only country in the world that absorbs more carbon than it produces. The air is fresh, the mountains are beautiful, and wild animals like snow leopards live there. Nature is seen as sacred and important for life.

Bhutanese culture is rich and traditional. People wear national clothing—the kira for women and the gho for men. Many buildings, including temples and houses, are decorated with colorful art. Festivals called tshechus include dancing, music, and religious ceremonies. People in Bhutan are kind, respectful, and welcoming to visitors.

Bhutan is a country that values happiness, nature, and culture. If you ever visit, you will feel the peaceful lifestyle and warm spirit of the Bhutanese people. Thanks for listening, and see you next time on Intercultural Corner!
