Dirt bike across Bhutan: Photos for your Monday blues

The World

Beat the Monday Blues (or make them worse) with this slide show from a motorcycle trip through Bhutan.  If you haven't visited the place, you better go before they scrap that whole "gross national happiness" thing and get with the Asian program for high-rises-and-Gucci-at-all-costs.

And, what the hell, check out some of my snaps, as well.  I wangled my way to an all-expenses paid trip with Best of Asia Overland a couple years back, and have been thinking of a return ever since.
