Here we are at the Golden Temple in Bylakuppe where 3,000 tibetan monks live as refugee. This one was the building where the younger monks are studying. At lunch time everyone was running to get the meal. Despite their votes, their attitude is still the one of normal young guys.. like everyone else.
A buddhist monk concentrated on his prayer in front of a giant statue of Buddha. We are in Sukhothai, and this monk is visiting the ruins of this ancient fallen empire. Sukhothai is a strong tourist attraction and also monks come to enjoy a tour among these beautiful and interesting ruins.
One of the main reasons why Bangladesh "suffers" of tourism really small, are the roads and the traffic. The streets of Bangladesh are definitely among the worst in the world (and I've been in India and Sri Lanka, that even there the situation is very bad about this)... honestly i reckon that find worse will be more than a challenge.
Another shot from the Longneck village.. This is one of the huts where a family is living moments of normality just a few meters from the main street, the one of the shops, the one for tourists, where they spend most of their time and their lives. The huts are very rudimentary and there is no electricity.
