Bhutan : A Country of Beautiness - Uniqueness - Tradition and Peaceful

Bhutan National flag
Guys, Well SMDers has Wonderfully Defined Bhutan : Just Awesome and Totally Agree With SMDers. Uniqueness, Tradition - Peaceful - Nature and Everything on this Whole World Could Defined or Describe Bhutan !!

SMDers Quoted :
"Can anybody come up with the most suitable full form of B.H.U.T.A.N? For me BHUTAN is:"

B = Beauty
H = Has
U = Unique
T = Taste
A = And
N = Nature

And Also :

B = Beautiful Bhutan
H = Has
U = Unique
T = Tradition
A = And
N = Nature

And One More to go

BHUTAN:

B
= Be
H = Happy &
U = Understanding
T = To
A = Achieve
N = Nobleness

Thanks to Ugyen/SMDers or Bhandarrr:) for his Effort

What do you think about my full form of BHUTAN? Please share of your ideas with as well.
Cheers
Ugyen:)
Thanks SMDers for Sharing With Us, I Totally Agree With You. No Doubt Bhutan Is Unique, Beautiful and Peaceful Country!!

The Other Day i was Going to Babesa and Semtokha for my Personal Work and i Manage to Click few Places and Buildings on the Way, Well This should Certainly be not of my Post rather than an Junk to fill my Routine to have a post with some crabs and crapzy picture.
