Thimphu has the distinction of being the only capital city in the world without a single traffic light. While on most streets cars just fight it out or kindly give one another the right of way, at one crossing there is an official, dressed in a uniform and white gloves, directing traffic. He has a lovely hut, decorated in the national style, from which he works. He’s as famous among locals as he is among tourists. Don’t miss getting a photo of him.
