My
host family Were great they spoke good English and again
food was always tasty and the had spoons too, an in the
evening we would chat and drink little roxy, there house was
modern .They were Buddhist family and there neighbors were
too so it was very peace full and they had a small festival
one morning which was great to see. Buddhist monks were also
in the village chanting in the mornings and evenings so I
felt really part of the culture, the family really involved
me in all they did and the neighbors were very kind too.
