brainstorming, to make
this vacancy into an
amazing and dazzling
garden.

Taiwan safely.
The 20 foot container

pleasant odor of wood.

24 Sept. before we left the base, the team had made sure that the
cement floor was hardened already, but on the next day, we found the
floor muddy and with these footprints. Bhutanese Venerable Lamas
said that it is a very Auspicious Sign.
