Paper Factory, Thimpu, Bhutan. We caught this young girl looking in the mirror at herself at the Thimpu Paper Factory. My guess is that someone put makeup on her for the first time, and she felt beautiful. With or without makeup, this young girl is a beauty in my eyes. Day 3, Guides: Zangley/Nala
Our friends with the ninja driving skills, rikshaw driver Sabhir and his friends, took us to see a paper factory he thought we might like. He was right, too - amazing to watch them making really thick heavyweight or incredibly light and fragile paper. Much of it had petals or pieces of fabric mashed into the paper, and then a great deal was beautifully block printed with intricate patterns. I bought about twenty sheets in the end, (at a total cost of about £2.30) but like a loon managed to leave them in our hotel when we left for Rajasthan.
Still, a nifty place.
