"I'm just a tourist myself, my friend"

Luang Prabang, Laos (2012). While waiting for the start of the ceremony at Wat Pha Mahathat, I got into a conversation with this friendly old monk. Turned out he was a tourist like myself. Based in Bangkok, Thailand, he was on a pilgrimage, visiting the holy monasteries of Luang Prabang. After this portrait shot, he took a shot of me with his own Canon point & shoot camera.
