After the morning prayer we went to a small building for breakfast with the monks. We ate soup and bread. After breakfast we went to the courtyard and swept it for the monks. The monks were very appreciative of our help because they have to sweep the courtyard every morning. Our morning was really interesting and I learned a lot about monks by observing and participating in their daily routine. It was so cool to be able to see something so different and unique.

You are so correct in stating that by participating in something so different and unique you learn more. Hands on and on-site learning in a global environment with Discovery will spoil you for any other kind of travel, I suspect. Guess you can rule out at least one career pathway, right?
How do you think the monks view their daily routine? You may find it monotonous, but clearly they seem fit for the life they chose. What makes the difference?

I think the monks are so used to their routine that it has become, well, routine. I know some of the other students said that uncle was anxious to get back to his job as you guys were leaving. Your last few weeks have been anything but routine. Karen Wells DSA South Africa
