High in the Sky

Yesterday's Kuensel ran a story about the reaction of Japanese tourists to the condition of public toilets in Bhutan (See Our toilets stink, say tourists). It seems that tourists have other complaints as well - see the following ad that appeared in today's paper.

ANNOUNCEMENT

DRUKAIR CORPORATION LTD.

This is to request all Drukair passengers to kindly refrain from chewing “doma” (Betel leaf and Areca nut) inside the aircraft as well as to avoid carrying them inside the cabin.

Although chewing “doma” is part of our culture that we respect; we are also concerned that the smell can be a turn off for fellow passengers especially foreigners.

Drukair hopes that all our “doma” chewer passengers will take this positively. Inconvenience caused is regretted.
