“Bhutan hopes to be next great baseball country”

This is interesting, and highlights the dizzying pace of change in Bhutan. These sort of scenes would have been unimaginable when I was last there in the pre-COVID era.

It also makes me a bit sad because darts and archery were so dominant in Bhutan, and so different to the forms of those sports in other countries.
