One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once volunteered on a farm run by an ex monk in rural Thailand. I was the only volunteer there, seven little puppies kept me company, while we cooked food in the outdoor kitchen or planted trees to a new field. My room didn't have all the walls either and at night I watched fire flies dance over my bed. I learned so many interesting things about buddhism and meditation, and how to cook fried bananas with rice over fire.

Always happy to teach some Finnish (one of the most difficult languages in the world). :-) Moi mitä kuuluu?
