Dating Club Struggle Recorded in Shiritori XNUMX Laos Part XNUMX

Dizzy → Laos

I woke up at 5am the next morning.

After dinner last night, the gong rang, so I had a fight, so I'm still sleepy.

But since the begging is the biggest purpose of the trip, I can't skip it.

To wake up from sleep, take a quick shower and head to the front desk.

The hotel staff was already ready and waiting.

I was handed a bowl containing freshly cooked rice for alms and moved to the street in front of the hotel.

Sit on cushions placed on the sidewalk by the staff and wait for the monks to come.

It's dawn and the sky is clear.

It looks like it's going to be hot again today, but it doesn't feel that hot yet.

  

A group of monks can be seen coming from both directions.

They all wear orange robes.

They come in groups to each temple scattered in Luang Parbang city.

It seems that each temple has its own course, and monks from four temples pass through here.

First the monks come from the right side.

At the top is an elder and everyone is a big ball for alms?is slung over his shoulder.

There are many young monks, and the youngest is probably around six years old.

It's about as big as the ball you're carrying from your shoulder.

Monks pass in front of Joe.

Take the freshly cooked rice prepared by the hotel, little by little, and put the rice into the bowls offered by the monks.

The food is mainly rice, but there are also sweets and vegetables in plastic bags.

It is forbidden to talk to monks in silence.

The monk handed over the ball without saying anything.

Looking down at the monk is the most bad manners, so I do alms while sitting and looking up.

The monks are coming one after another, so I have to grab the rice quickly, but it's freshly cooked, so it's hot and I can't grab it well.

I didn't have much time to see the faces, but there were also young child monks.

When the first group of monks ends, another monk comes from the left.

I got a little bit of the point, so this time I had a little leeway.

Once all the monks have been given alms, the monks begin to chant in unison.

Both Joe and Princess Nana put their hands together and bowed their heads.

The previous monks didn't chant sutras, so even the same takuhatsu may have different manners depending on the temple.

Of course, you can feel a far greater sense of gratitude here.


And when I got used to the heat and understood the point, the hotel staff

"Today's begging is over."

I was told.

When I stood up, I was handed a glass of water.

“Sprinkle this water on any tree in the garden and pray.

I was told.

So, together with Princess Nana, I sprinkled water on the big tree in the center of the garden and put my hands together in prayer.

For some reason, it made me feel a little better.

However, it was a short time, and the monks were coming one after another, so I had to do the begging quickly like work, and honestly I couldn't feel like Haruki-san felt.

When they were about to go back to their rooms, they were stopped by hotel staff, who invited the monks to go to a temple where they had acquaintances.

When I looked at Princess Nana, it was an OK sign, so I decided to take her with me.

Travel by hotel tuk-tuk.

A hotel staff who is also a driver during the move

"I was a monk"

I tell you.

Princess Nana

"How long?"

when asked he said

"from 7 years old for 20 years."

Answer.

After that, the question and answer session began, and I could see the circumstances of monks and education in Laos.


According to him, compulsory education in Laos is up to the fifth grade of elementary school.

Moreover, it seems that about XNUMX% cannot graduate.

The main reason is poverty.

Many people become monks to continue their studies.

He is one of them.

If you become a monk, everything is free.

It is also possible to go on to junior high school, which is not compulsory education.

There is also an English school for monks only, and one-on-one instruction in private classes is also possible if desired.

He learned English there.

According to Princess Nana, it is "easy-to-understand English with beautiful pronunciation".

Perhaps because of his good grades, he went to college as a monk and even studied in Thailand.

As far as I heard, it seems that he was progressing on the elite course.

It is not clear why he became a hotelier, but it is not uncommon in Laos for monks to enter the business world or start something new.

There is also the opposite, and short-term ordination is also allowed.

In other words, temples also function as schools in a broad sense.

We have arrived at our destination temple.

Head to the main hall with the guidance of the hotel staff.

A monk sits down and quietly recites a sutra toward the principal image.

Both Joe and Princess Nana sit on their knees near the entrance of the main hall and silently listen to the monk's sutras.

His voice is small, and even if you can hear him, of course you can't tell what he's saying.

Still, I feel solemn when I am in front of the principal image.

If you look to the side, there is a dining room next to the main hall, and you can see the monks preparing breakfast.

The monks who are chanting sutras in front of us must be doing their rituals before breakfast.

I think the sutra lasted 20 minutes.

But it wasn't painful.

At the end, I put my hands together and saw off the monk as he left the main hall.

On the way to the hotel by tuk-tuk, I visited the morning market.


When I got to the hotel, I went back to my room to change clothes.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but it was still before 8:XNUMX.

Joe likes getting up early because it makes the morning feel longer.

And of course it's a lack of devotion.

I felt like my heart was cleansed for a little while, but I'm back again.

But with the two of them taking a shower, exchanging hot kisses, and the princess holding Joe herself in her mouth, it's hard to stay calm.

Without turning off the hot water in the shower, Joe felt the water running down his back as usual?Standing back.

Princess of

"Give me a lot inside Nana!"

(?) Joe is dead as usual.

Even so, Joe should be weak in sex, but why is it that he becomes unfaithful in front of Princess Nana and Miss Dynamite?

It's true that I do doping, but this may be the compatibility of my body.

Fun times pass quickly.

That day we went to a beautiful valley outside the city and swam in a waterfall.



On the way back, we stop by an elephant camp and ride an elephant together.

There are many elephant camps in Laos as well as in Thailand.

Moreover, in Laos, it is said that an elephant driver's license can be obtained.

It is not an international license, but if you have it, you may be able to ride Japanese elephants.

After returning to the hotel, move to the Mekong River and take a sunset cruise.



Enjoy the sunset slowly over the Mekong River aboard a comfortable boat owned by the hotel.

Then go to the night market.

There are various products, but it seems that there is no fixed price.

Bargaining with the owner is fun.

I bought a lot of things, but it takes a long time to spend XNUMX yen.

Cheap prices (for Japanese people) is also one of the attractions of Laos.

The next morning, I do almsgiving and after that, I spend my time doing this and that until my flight in the evening.

Then transfer to the airport in the late afternoon.

Princess Nana will return to Hanoi.

Hime's flight leaves 20 minutes earlier than Joe's to Bangkok.

A hug before leaving.

"There was nothing special in Laos, but it was fun. I want to go on a trip with Joe again."

and Princess Nana.

Of course, Joe doesn't have any objections, but he doesn't have confidence in Joe's physical strength because he needs to pitch at full power to spend time with the princess.

It was time to board the princess.

Even though there is a bus, for some reason I cross the airport and walk.

Joe watched from the lobby as Hime turned around and waved at Joe.

What kind of relationship will she have with Princess Nana from now on?

It was Joe lost in thought to himself.
