Luang Prabang library where the novice monks can come to practice English conversation with tourists and volunteer teachers

the novices get up at four, take alms, then it's back to the temple for prayers and breakfast, at half seven they go to school till noon, after lunch they eat no more food. in the afternoon some novices head to the library to practice English conversation with tourists and volunteer teachers who have the opportunity to hear about Buddhism and the day to day life of novices and monks. After the library, some novices have an English class at a private language school, the novices who attend this are mostly sponsored by westerners. and then it's back to the temple for our class !
a busy day for the novices
