Weekly lessons

Today was an interesting day. Every day is an adventure of sorts here. Today, I got betel juice sprayed all over my back and in my hair from a monk who was standing behind me and let out an uncontrolled laugh! (from the betel nut they chew, which makes their spit turn bright red. (shown below).

Then, I was being called fat all day. One even said I was overweight! (I'm hoping that was because of his underdeveloped English skills.) Now I can access pasta I have put on a bit, but I don't think they realise I was under my normal weight when they were feeding me monk food! They are too honest and don't realise they should not say that to a woman! Got my gym motivation for tomorrow. 

 

Below: Me when I was living @ monastery & me today - perhaps they would think I was fat!

 

Then, one of the monks accidentally spilt coffee all over my laptop and papers. Here is me trying to save them.
