No Red Lights, Just Green Time š±
Whatās the only capital city on Earth with zero traffic lights?
No blinking red. No yellow panic. No green rage. Justā¦ flow.
Welcome to Thimphu, in Bhutanāwhere intersections are negotiated by eye contact and good manners, and where time seems less bossy.
Nearby, the 19th-century Wangduechhoeling Palaceābuilt by the legendary warrior Jigme Namgyelāhas just reopened after a twelve-year restoration. Twelve years. In a world that calls three seconds a ādelay.ā Perspective restored, along with the palace.
Bonus round?
Forests made for real hikes. Rivers made for serious rafting.
A place where automation (and AI) still take a respectful back seat to human presence. A radical idea in 2026.
Time to book a trip?
Sureāright after I finish building this AI-powered social media prototypeā¦ and get back from Mongolia, Namibia, Scotland, Switzerland, and New Zealand.
The list is piling up.
But this one feels different.
No traffic lights.
Imagine that.
Carpe Diem.
