I especially enjoyed the meals and just standing in line and then eating with the young monks. The food was very good and I had no stomach problems the whole time. The little kids are very sweet and full of energy!

I had an amazing trip, probably the best I’ve ever done. My most memorable experiences were teaching the monks some dance on the evening, going to the puja outside the monastery with them and watching the female World Cup with some of them at 1 am. I also did the mardi trek with others volunteers and it was indescribable.
