IT may not have had the usual north-south rivalries of Tasmanian sport but a soccer tournament at Wentworth Park, Howrah, by Bhutanese communities displayed plenty of skills, passion and enthusiasm.
Archery is Bhutan’s national sport, followed by outside darts played as a team sport, although soccer’s popularity is on the increase.
A team from the Bhutanese community of Hobart (287 people) challenged a team from the more than 350-strong Bhutanese community of Launceston yesterday.
Soccer clinics for children and a Bhutanese dancing display were also held.
The resettlement of Bhutanese people in Tasmania began in 2008.
Some members of the Bhutanese community were evicted from their country and lived up to almost 20 years in refugee camps in Nepal.
Centacare helped organise yesterday’s event with a grant from the Clarence City Council.
this doesn’t resembles Bhutanese in any way? are they real Bhutanese? Bhtanese people living in Australia looks different. we are confused at two distinctive faces.Sorry if i misunderstand you!
Xianghu ! how should Bhutanese look like ? resettled Bhutanese in Austerlia have eyes,nose,ears like Bhutanese living in the country. People like you in the country who is not ready to accept cultural and riligious diversity in Bhutan is a real trouble maker out there. You should accept there are Nepali speaking community in Bhutan sincce the time of Shabdrung reign. Because of internal disagreement between lhotshampas and RBG , they were forcibly evicted from the county. These people still be proud to called themselves as Bhutanese despite hatred of RBG. Finally to be a Bhutanese one doesn’t necessarily have to live inside Bhutan, but they can still be Bhutanese no metter what part of the world they live.
Pal, I think Xianghu is right. The Bhutanese is diaspora are very different because of the fololwing reasons:
They take shower every day unlike once a year by the so called real bhutanese.
They dress up in a modern way
They look neat, clean and tidy and smell good unlike the so called bhutanese
They change their socks everyday and don’t carry the stink in their pockets………….
You are right BB ji,, I agree on your point
oh thank you for teaching me, that is the sole reason that differentiates between real bhutanese and non-bhutanese..
thank you
This is only the part of lesson you learn. You got to learn lot more.
oh yes, i know another thing, there is only one ethnic group in Bhutan, I know that nepalis ethnic is from India. I know even if they wash they stink from their body and armpit.
