Happiness found in Bhutan's delicate balance between ancient and modern | 60 Minutes Australia

It's the last Shangri-la - probably the happiest place on earth. Perched high in the mighty Himalayas, for centuries Bhutan has been locked away, untouched by the outside world. But now this magical little kingdom is taking it's first tentative steps into the 21st century. And it's a shock to the system. You find remote medieval villages suddenly have electricity. There are mobile phones, designer jeans and television. It's a delicate balancing act. Accepting the present, while preserving the past. An ancient culture that is mystical, mysterious and, sometimes not for the faint-hearted or the prudish.
