1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #572
- Almsgiving, Luang Prabang, Laos
(It is a sacred ritual here in Luang Prabang - the act of almsgiving to the monks here in the early morning. The main road is cordoned off here for the monks to perform this ritual - collecting rice, vegetables and sweets their once-a-day meal. I was happy to be able to participate in it near our hotel, somewhat unplanned. A sense of calm came over me, as the monks in their saffron orange colour robes walked past me. It all makes for a solemn, cool morning for me)
