Which is your most touching memory from your trip?
– My parents are from Vietnam. So it was when I first arrived, in the cab. While crossing the landscape, it was noiseless, windows closed. I felt like I was travelling over a previous life of mine.
Which is the strangest memory from your trip?
– It was a very singular “Gooonhahooonnnnnnng” from a monk who just arrived on a motobike to the temple and hit the “gong” only for us, just like a ceremony with no purpose. The Instant comes and goes simultaneously.
