Sydney & Sunnataram

With miles redemption on star-alliance, i got a free return ticket via Singapore airlines to sydney. Over in sydney,i bunked in at my aunt's place, and was pampered with fresh fruits and fresh eggs in the mornings. The resident hen actually lays eggs, n i got to eat some of her eggs..wow.

I made a trip to sunnataram forest monastery (this is my second trip), and was re-acquainted once more with the beautiful place by the cliff of bushforest. Phramana and Sayadaw, and Kim were so busy working on new activities and ideas for the Gratitude Pagoda. i soaked in the good country air, and in-between helped with chopping (veg) and washing in the kitchen. One day, we saw such a beautiful sunrise right out of the kitchen window, and Carmen(a visitor/volunteer) commented e kitchen has one of the best views from the building. It was such a brilliant red, she had initially thought it was a forest fire!
