The King who doesn't demand transport arrangements nor porters and walks for more than 7 hours carrying his own luggage to reach the village only to grant the villagers free lands. The only Kingdom where the King personally delivers people's wishes to their doorsteps.

In case you ever wondered why Bhutan is called the last Shangri-la.

Bourdain (on kitchen knives): “…you need, for God’s sake, a decent chef's knife. I wish sometimes I could go through the kitchens of amateur cooks everywhere just throwing knives out from their drawers—all those medium—size ‘utility’ knives, those useless serrated things you see advertised on TV, all that hard-to-sharpen stainless-steel garbage, those ineptly designed slicers. — Not one of the damn things could cut a tomato. Please believe me, here’s all you will ever need in the knife department: ONE good chef’s knife, as large as is comfortable for your hand. If you want to cook like a professional, I recommend you have in your kitchen a decent inexpensive vanadium steel “Global” (the name of the brand) knife, a very good Japanese product. Use the tip of the knife for the small stuff, the area near the heel for the larger.”
— (photo) Bourdain and his famous Kramer’s knife, crafted by knife maker Bob Kramer, consider one of the greatest smiths in America. The knife specially made for Bourdain is forged from a blend of steel and meteorite, it was influenced by “Katana” (Samurai sword) making process, with a polished wood handle. Bourdain purchased the knife from Kramer in 2016 for $5,000 (featured in Bourdain’s TV series “Raw Craft”). The knife was included in Bourdain’s estate auction and was sold for $231,250. — after 55 bids, the highest priced item sold in the auction. It was purchased by Chef Marco Pierre White. Though at the end of the auction it was known that all the items in the auction was bought by him, including the items he gave Bourdain as gifts, bought them again at a much higher price than what he paid for. A tribute to Anthony Bourdain's life and legacy, now available for viewing at The English House of Marco Pierre White (Mohamed Sultan Rd, in Singapore). Known to be a must-visit destination for all things food, culture and art memorabilia. Marco Pierre White collection includes items that had special significance to Bourdain, having collecting them during his vast travels alongside personal gifts from friends. Bourdain’s Auction brought in over $1.8 Million. Sixty percent of the proceeds of the auction will go to Bourdain’s wife, Ottavia Busia and daughter, Ariane. The remainder was donated to a scholarship to the Culinary Institute of America created in Bourdain’s name that will allow recipients to spend abroad to study international topics.
