Buddhist monk at a small shop/rest stop along the painful way up to Sri Pada (Adam's peak - Jan 2016 ). Despite being mute, he tried communicating for a good portion of the trek. Not being visible frustrated of my inability to understand and my short smile answers, he posed for this photo, he generously smiled back and took on the stairs with the speed of a regular visitor, skipping past the adventurous and exhausted tourists with the energy of a teenager.
