20. There is also a coffee shop inside the mart. When I choose a cake and order it with coffee, these two workers show curiosity. I explained my pilgrimage. Then, they exclaimed and asked me more about the purpose of pilgrimage. I took off the mask only when I take a selfie. When I tried to pay the bill, they said ‘present’ and didn’t take any money.

21. At the lodging, I took this photo of the cake which I did not eat at that time.

38. This person who parked her car and waited for me a while is a reporter of local press. She seems to have been informed that a Korean pilgrim was walking.

I took a selfie after detailed news coverage. The website of the press is www.noen.at.

39. She said she will send the article to me by e-mail, when an article comes out.

In the past, when I was walking in India, I had a few interviews. But it seems that the final report was not made in India. I hope this country is different.

45. It seems to be a wind channel.

46. I took a short video.

47. As I arrived at city entrance, a police car suddenly stopped and policeman approached to a suspicious traveler. At situation like this, there is a method I use. After taking out the brochure and showing the map I walked on, I points to a picture of Dalai Lama and asks if they know who he is. When they nod, I show a picture of Dalai Lama and me on the back of the brochure. Then they usually walk away with great admiration. This is the right time when they become selfie model.

48. I entered the center of city.
