Karma Jigme, 26, recently returned to the traditional rural town of Nabji (still without television and electricity) after working in more developed towns. Jigme's tales from the modern world have all the magic of Bhutan's traditional legends. The first time he saw television, he says, he hid under his bed, fearing that the angry pro wrestlers on screen "would jump out of the box and hurt me." While painting a monastery, Jigme heard an extremely loud sound, and then, "I saw house in the shape of a fish flying through the air." The airplane terrified him so much he almost fell off his ladder.
