Autre lieu, autres moeurs...

Everywhere in Bhutan.

Ce qui chez nous paraîtrait obscène s’offre ici à la vue de tous. Ce sont des signes auspicieux que l’on voit fréquemment sur les façades des demeures. Peindre des phallus sur sa façade c’est assurément protéger sa famille des démons et des mauvais esprits et attirer la bonne fortune.

Another place, other customs.
What would seem obscene to us here is in plain sight. These are auspicious signs that are frequently seen on the façades of the houses. Painting phallus on its façade is protecting its family from demons and evil spirits as well as attracting good fortune.

We will be needing to paint our home soon and I can try floating something like this by our homeowners association architect committee, but I'm guessing I already know what they will say.
