Thanks! It really was. I can totally understand the whole spiritual nature of buddhism when you are in a country like Bhutan. I think the buildings are far more beautiful and in keeping with the country than many of the churches here.

I think I was a buddhist in a former life. Churches dont move me. Seeing Taktsang brought a tear to my eye.

Don't get me wrong there are some beautiful churchs but they always feel to me like they are imposing and intimidating.

What buildings in auld town do it for you? I have say i prefer parts of the New town like Charlotte Square.

And as for more modern..lots of people at my work dont like the Gateway but I really quite like it. I love the turbine.

The John Hope Gateway is the new visitor centre at RBGE.

I do like the parliment too but then I am a rampant nationalist
