btw, thank you for making the call for more to join our discord. I need to check in and see what you guys have been up to. I'm on the road right now. Hopefully my busy time will be at an end soon and I can devote more time to that.
Awesome and i am genuinely speaking, this traditional wear is really suiting you and it's reflecting you as an ancient man, and in my opinion it's an great place to visit to get the peace of mind and to gain the right mindset to move forward.

Awesome photos. Jolly old Budai.
