Duct Tape from Happiest Country in the World

That would be Bhutan!
Roll number 63 (a full list of the countries I now have is printed in the second post to this blog) was sent to me by Karma Choden. I saw a report on Sunday Morning about Bhutan, the happiest country in the world and thought it would be neat to try to get a signed roll for the World Duct Tape collection from the happiest country in the world. After a Google search I found the Yangphel Adventure Travel and in their information on hiking trips mentioned emergency kits. I asked if by any chance Duct Tape was a part of the kit? Karma said yes! After a few emails to explain the World Duct Tape collection Karma said a roll would be signed and sent to me.

I took the collection to the Odyssey of the Mind World finals last week in Ames, Iowa and got the word out. I met team coaches from Indonesia and Togo and will be working in the next few weeks to get signed rolls from their countries to add to the collection. Wish me luck.

Also got a roll from China. This was to clear up the confusion over the first roll I got for the World Collection from the team from Hong Kong. So now the list will show roll number 64 as coming from Hong Kong. My OM roommate from N.C. Ernie A will be happy to see the correction.
