An Auspicious Installation

Bhutan is a very traditional culture. Astrology may be consulted to determine when to hoist a prayer flag or start important work. The stars showed that today was a good day to appoint people to a new post. There's an app for that if you're interested. You can download "Druk Zakar" in the Apple or Google play store. 
So today we had an Installation ceremony at the top of the I building, where there is a beautiful altar room. I can't post photos of the room or ceremony because the campus has not yet been dedicated by the present King and his father, the fourth King (for whom the law school is named). The campus dedication will probably happen on its own Auspicious Day next year. I hope I can attend. 

I can show you photos of my colleagues after the ceremony. They have all been very nice and welcoming. Bhutan may be one of the happiest places on earth in part because it is one of the friendliest. 

Then came my favorite part. The treats. This cake was the first real dessert I have had in Bhutan, and it was delicious. Momos, pokara, fried potatoes, masala chai. Food nirvana.
