That is like singing in the street. Suddenly are many people around you and clapping.

What was the most bizarre thing that happened to you?
When I joined a Buddha wash I suddenly got such a laughing fit and infect a monk so that he was convulsed with laughter and must stop the washing.

What influence did the time in Cambodia have on you?
I will always carry around the smile which I brought from Cambodia.
When I think about the time and the many experiences and encounters we had,the smile becomes very wide again. That is something which will remain forever. The country won my heart. Therefore I am grateful.
