Lunching with a Monk

Phra PT is a Thai monk who lives in the block next door. He is in McLeod Ganj studying English at the LHA centre which runs subsidised classes. He is clearly a very motivated student and attends several classes a day. We invited him up for coffee last week and yesterday he more than reciprocated with an invite for some home-style Thai cooking of tom yum kai and fried chicken. It was fantastic; he is a great friend indeed!
