 ― Elegant Display Windows ―  
    

All buildings in Bhutan, including temples, stores and residences, are constructed using the same basic design elements, such as beam-shaped cross-sections and floral patterns of transoms, flower head-shaped moldings on the wooden window frames, surrounding floral patterns, and so on. For this reason, we cannot know if a building is a store or something else just from the appearance.
Nonetheless, it is easy to see that the building in this picture is a real store because athletic shoes are displayed in each of the windows. The sneakers are displayed in such an elegant setting where we’d expect to find a sutra or other historical relics. Music tapes and CDs are displayed in the leftmost window. What an interesting mismatch!
