Couldn’t resist the monk chat sign at the temple in Chaing Mai saying don’t just look come and take part, so we did. It’s a great opportunity to have access to the knowledge, the wisdom, the wit of a monk, and gives them a great opportunity to practice their English, and ability to communicate on demand.
We found a super chatty monk, and the minute he realised upon our introduction, that Bea was a Thai living and working in London, his eyes lit up. He requested to me that they talk in Thai and proceeded to quiz be on her journey of becoming a British citizen.
Chatty monk loves Harry Potter wants to live abroad and now doesn’t want to continue from being a novice monk who lives there, lives by 10 rolls to becoming a fully fledged monk as they live their lives by 227.
It must be amazing for him as the world turns up at his table to chat, giving him access to so many people, cultures and attitudes. Now it has just given him wanderlust, which I hope can be fulfilled!
