The floor and walls are wooden and polished to a shine. Golden meditating statues line the walls, the air is cool and many monks sit still with their eyes closed on mats on the ground. In the far center of the room there is a giant golden Buddha towering over everyone in its pedestal.

It's good we get to rest after that long journey. We are both weary. I just need a mug of ale and relax.
Thank you dear monk for allowing us to rest here. My wife is pregnant and it is a long journey. It's not a problem this is a place for everyone.  Just make sure you be careful around the statue.  We will be very careful.  We'd like a mug of your famous ale and I will be happy to give you a charitable donation. Thank you very much.  It will be used to do improvements on this temple.  How long will your stay be? We are only here for a night.  I see a door at the base of the giant golden Buddha...where does it go? That is the main living area where me and the other monks stay.  There is a kitchen attached to that room and a wing that leads to our sleeping quarters  Everything is so beautiful here but we must be on our way to my wife's family for the birth of our child. I hope that you have a grand time.  I hope the birth of your child goes well. We will sleep well tonight and be on our way in the early morning. We have a long road ahead of us. Ok I will leave you to your selves.  Do tell me if there is anything I can do for you. I would love another ale and a guide to our room for the night. Many thanks for your kindness. I am sorry but you will have to sleep on the floor in this room.  We are doing renovations on on a large part of our building.
