Something we noticed on the farms and the roads was the very useful
rototiller. Farm folk use it for plowing and tilling as it is was developed to do,
but these resourceful people also use it for transportation by hitching a
wagon to the rototiller and loading people and objects inside. Then down
the rocky roads the driver goes, freeing himself from backbreaking haulage
and his passengers from long walks. There were many more rototillers in
use as transportation than scooters on country roads, but you could also see
them on the roads in Paro! A very useful item indeed and probably pretty
efficient to run—important to a country where all oil and gasoline must be
imported from India.
