Hi E.M.
Thank you for your lovely report.
I stayed in the next buidling (i.e., Udawattakera(?spelling?))
for a while. I hope that things haven't been changed so much,
and the surroundings are still intact.
I am wondering if the Buddhist Publication Soceity is doing well or not.
(If they take any daana, I would wonder if you do not mind
finding and asking the person in charge at the Society for contacting me?)
Please enjoy your stay in Kandy.
