It's that time of year again

The festival of Light was my favourite festival last year, I loved the build up, especially the preparations at the temples. And the novices at Wat Pasaviet have started making their bamboo and paper lanterns for this year, they were all very excited yesterday

Megan and Joey

Megan arrived 5 months ago, she was a super volunteer nurse, Joey missed her so arrived a few weeks later, proposed and volunteered in the lab! Everyone loved them, they were heaps of fun, kind, had tones of energy and taught us so much. Enjoy your travels as you head home, missing you xx
