The Kingdom of Bhutan 不丹王国 (Spring 2013)

Sample 4 are the broken ones. One bag was sold to me supposedly cheaply but I later found out it's not too cheap. The ones in the small bag was given to me (perhaps since I paid so much for sample 3). :o

So my friends, please feel free to comment.
First, if they are real. They look very much like real worms to me. And they all have fishy smell.
Second, the hard question is if these are the ones with medicinal value. I know the "original" 冬虫夏草 are from Tibet. Even if the fungus are the same, since they fed on the worms, the different type of worms and the different soil in different region may have altered the medicinal value.

It's has been a few months since we got back. I was simply too lazy to process the pictures and write the narratives.
Now there is a request to see certain pictures, I will post the pictures first, maybe writing the narrative later. The pictures are roughly organized by theme.

The first set is Bhutanese people in the Paro Festival.
One of the most interesting attractions for us is the women's skirt. ;D
OK, it's the weaving that could be very complex and intrigue. Our guide, who is from the east, told us that people in the west (like Paro) would spend a very large sum on a nice weaving cloth that they wear once a year in the festival. We later bought a few pieces of nice ones, at US$1000 to $1800 per piece.
The tops are often silk imported from China, with very Chinese patterns.

Kids & old people in the Paro Festival.
