The Bhutanese people is gifted with the following traits:

Hospitable

Friendly. Smiling faces. You see people always ready to smile and show some respect.

Conservative.

Traditional. You can see that with the way they dress. The traditional costume known as gho in men and kirah in women is part of their daily lives.

Nationalistic. They love their king.

Lives very simply, you can rarely see forms of public transport and most of the people travel by walking. School-aged children walk several kilometers to go to school. They have their own television program since 1998. They produced their first film in the early 2000.

Speaks the English language fluently. It is the second language, being taught to school as early as childhood.
