Today we went to the monk temple to do some meditation and to try and clear our mind of everything. It was a very difficult and painful process of thinking about nothing and some people were unlucky enough to get an itchy nose. After we stopped meditating we were aching with pain and could hardly move our arms and legs we were numb in the feet and we had pins and needles all over our bodies. We rung a huge bell with a palm tree trunk attached to some rope and two chains. At the temple there was also a cemetery with the ashes of the people who died in the first world war.
