Jiwan from another World

Some time ago we had a special man called Jiwan with us at Select Collection. Jiwan was working as a butler in Bhutan. His biggest dream in life was to travel to another country. It took us much time and effort but we eventually managed to get both work and residence permits and Jiwan was with us for almost a year. During his time in office, he worked as butler and welcoming our customers in his native Bhutanese costume.
To travel to the kingdom of Bhutan, which lies between China and India, is like coming to another world. It is one of the most closed societies in the world and development has been slow. As an example, it was only about a decade ago they started using the Internet in Bhutan. Travel to Bhutan is expensive because it wants to spare itself from mass tourism. For those who still have the opportunity, it is a fantastic experience to travel to the country where time has stood still.
