Greek Guests Anna and Bill Visit Thai Home

This week, the Thai Homeland welcomed two visitors from Greece. Anna, a archaeologist, is lively and outgoing but also has a delicate and sentimental side. Bill, her good friend, is introverted and steady, kind, and caring. He believes all LIFE is connected through energy and hopes all resources on Earth can be shared. Both have expressed disinterest in marriage, which they say is a common attitude among young people in Greece nowadays.


Since her arrival, our hardworking and capable sister Roumei has been tirelessly dedicating herself to the Thai Home. Her selfless and giving nature has often moved and inspired me. Since she took over the kitchen, the kitchen and dining area have reached a new level of organization and efficiency, making the atmosphere harmonious. I feel that in the future, when our community grows to 30 people, with Roumei as our key asset, we will have a solid and reliable logistical support system.


Due to the daily rain, our two guests, apart from spending one morning helping with mowing in the mango garden, didn't engage in other farm work. Instead, we gave them free time and showed them some videos about the community, introducing them to Lifechanyuan, which led to some interesting exchanges of ideas. On their last evening, everyone gathered in Jianxing Hall to practice Tai Chi fan, sing, dance, and play instruments. We also learned some Greek dances from them. Using music and dance to exchange cultures was a relaxed and enjoyable experience for all.
