PHOTO OF THE MONTH by Oded Wagenstein from the 2011 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest

"The life of a monk is not easy" told me this eight years old young monk in a small monastery in the town of Luang Parabang in Laos. "We get up in 4 AM and going to sleep again only at 22:00 AM. Lots of cleaning and praying. but I still love it so much." Then the young monk offerd me to join him and his friends for the all day. It was one of the best days of my life.
