You may recall the craze we had in North America for building bomb shelters. Seems other countries had similar ideas long before atomic bombs came along. Based on your photos, it is hard to image 10,000 people living in that space for too l

If you are sleeping in a cave (hotel), you must be cave people from the stone age! Scientist may want to examine you - carefully!

As usual, great photos thus allowing me to be a virtual traveller.Working and living in monasteries is not for the weak - they tend to be cool, damp places - great to look at, but not to live in.

If you eat all that you included in your photo of breakfast, I can understand why you needed to expend energy on winding the clock.

The trees don't seem to be turning colour where you are, but they are back home.
