Jon, yeah even mobile phones are not allowed not because parliamentarians play games..because the ringing of phones distract the session..i guess it's same in your "DEVELOPED" country too!!! Gigi..no we don't have a Mall ..but what is so great in having a mall..or what is wrong with not having a mall? we have lot of mini malls and supermarkets ..and people don't complain!! other thing in the "not have' lists are ..traffic light, sale of tobacco products, Big International Airport, skyscrapers,McDonalds & KFCs ...let me know if you are curious about other things..Bhutan may not have most of the things you might imagine about. but we are happy! guys.. i don’t blame you..i was once asked by my fellow classmates in India if Bhutan had Bullock Carts instead of cars!!!!
