Excellently written! I felt like I was there. I'm left with a question. Who was the famous monk? Why was he famous? It feels like there's a story in there. Like a fractal of the essay. I'm going to continue reading and look forward to your narratives.

Wow I completely missed your comment! So sorry! 🙏🏼

About the monk, I'm not sure who he was, but everyone around us got so excited, and our tour guide, Lala, said he's a celebrity, very important monk, and she was crying! Saying we're so lucky he blessed us.
