Bhutan is absolutely gorgeous Everything looks so peaceful, and the architecture and artistry is wonderful. My University (UTEP, university of texas at el paso) Is the ONLY university in the USA to have a real ties with the Kingdom of Bhutan and permission to build in their style. The UTEP Lhakhang is a permanent cultural exhibit showcasing exquisite Bhutanese craftsmanship and artisanship. In 2008, the Lhakhang was gifted to the people of the United States by the Kingdom of Bhutan and entrusted to The University of Texas at El Paso. It is the only structure of its kind outside of Bhutan. The Kingdom of Bhutan gave explicit permission to build the university buildings in the style of the Bhutanese sky castles. UTEP was founded in 1914 as the Texas State School of Mines and Metallurgy, and the inspiration for its architecture is credited to Kathleen Worrell, wife of the School's first dean, who was fascinated with an 88-page photo-essay on Bhutan that appeared in the April 1914 issue of National Geographic magazine. The article, titled Castles in the Air, recounted the travels across Bhutan of British political officer and engineer John Claude White. Accompanying the article were 74 of White's photographsamong the first ever published of the ancient and isolated kingdom. Persuaded by his wife that Bhutanese dzongs would be a good fit for his mining school's setting in the foothills of El Paso's Franklin Mountains, Dean Worrell had the first campus building, Old Main, constructed in this style in 1917. Since then, nearly all UTEP buildings have followed this theme, creating an unusual degree of architectural coherence on a U. S. university campusoffering to students, faculty, staff and visitors the beauty and serenity of its Bhutanese origins. UTEP has greatly strengthened ties to Bhutan during the past two decades through initiatives that foster understanding and appreciation of its people, culture and traditions. UTEP is home to many beautiful Bhutanese cultural artifacts, including tapestries and intricate wood carvings. The university sponsors bi-annual Bhutan Days, which bring performers and artisans from Bhutan to the campus to interact with UTEP students, faculty and staff, and members of surrounding communities. UTEP is also proud to enroll a growing number of Bhutanese students who are completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in such areas as geophysics, finance, engineering, accounting and education. So excited for this series Mark

Mark Wien your table manners are hoffific. You wide mouth can actually gulp the bloody crockery the food is served in to you. Man, take it easy on portions that you stuff in your gigantic hell hole and thus slurpy sounds that you make while eating are unbearable. And can you please change that same dumb expression that you have after everytime you shovel the food in your mouth. It is outright fake as you portray that same exclaimatory look with tilted neck accompanied with a fake ummmmmm sound.

I had watched this more than 10 x. The food is not about chillis. I personally recommend to comment on the food which is the priority. Additional condiments that help would require the final verdict. That is for me. I love you Mark the reason i commented like this. You changed the the way i eat food in Thailand. BTW, i had been in Thailand for 27 yrs khrub. Thanking you always and Micah is so wonderful. Likewise K. Ying khrub. All the best and GOD bless you all.

Almost all of South Asia's coffee comes from south india, from karnataka state specifically, its the robusta variety, which is strong, dark and acidic and has insane amounts of caffeine, its only exported to Italy ( expresso) and consumed in south India. Coffee was brought to karnataka from Mocha in Yemen, 400 years ago by a south indian shiite called Baba Budan, on his way back from Mecca.

I love how you pile on chilli's/ peppers and say its not too spicy lol, I think if most folks tried to copy you they would be seriously put off. Some folks just cant handle spicy, I saw one couple in a diner order a nacho plate, then complain about the heat of the salsa. which had only onions to bring heat, it had no chilli's at all. Great video man, thank you.

This guy's head tilting on his right with every bite and his wide open eyes while taking bite is one of the most annoying thing i have seen. I mean, yes he is extremely enthusiastic about food, that's good. But man that head tilting takes away the fun for me and hence i do not want to see his videos anymore.

I have been watching your videos a lot the last few days & I love it. I was wondering, does your wife like her food as spicy as you do or does she generally eat it mildly spicy. I'm more of a mild spice person myself. I was just curious: )
