Jaigoan Visit

Image
 Prior to the Corona outbreak, Jaigoan use to be the most frequented commercial town for Bhutanese. This shopping-centered lifestyle was severely disrupted for three long years during the Corona virus outbreak. When I first arrived here as a first-year student, I use to enjoy staring at people, the skills displayed by street vendors, the pitiful beggars on the streets, the Indians speaking sharshop, and the loud haggling by the Bhutanese anties had been picturesque experiences. I went to jaigon with three friends today for the first time in three long years. We tasted the street food, conversed with Indians in broken Hindi, and made some purchases. The highlight of my visit today was meeting several of my high school classmates from Gedu and Paro college, who also are finally returning to Jaigon after three long years.
