Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
Cheme Wangmo, Weekend Market Vendor

The weekend market is divided into a produce and arts and crafts sections. Many of us did our first big spending on all sorts of artifacts at the market. One of the most popular vendors was a woman named Cheme Wangmo. I bought my fave Bhutan T-shirt from her.


Here Bonnie from our group does some haggling with Cheme. Negotiating prices in Bhutan is done, but it's not as intense as you may experience in India.

The leather jacket and kira is a nice fashion blend of east and west.



I thought Cheme was very pretty, so I asked to take her picture. She said sure, and asked me to send her some copies. So I did, along with pictures of many of the other vendors in the market
