The staircase restoration completed!

After a strenuous week we completed the new staircase. Third layer of clay placed on the roof, dense red clay colored twigs made the finish of the porch and the wooden structure also got its red clay paint. >>>

Staircase walls and roof structure finished, short visit to Dzongkul

After some serious effort the new walls of the staircase are standing, and the wooden roof-structure is ready. Last weekend visited the Zangla nunnery school on their picnic at the riverside, and payed a short visit to Dzongkul monastery, the birthplace of the essays published by Csoma as Alexander books. >>>

Born in Oradea (Nagyvárad), I had a true daydreamer`s childhood in the wonderland of Transylvania. We moved to Budapest for my studies, first at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences, then I graduated as an architect too, at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. I was sure, economics would never be creative enough for me. I ended up traveling extensively after high school, which influenced my orientation big time.
Since 2004 I have been doing my phd research at Waseda University in Tokyo about the historical site of Angkor, Cambodia. I have organized a Japanese-Hungarian joint excavation on a 6th century site in Cambodia, with great success.
I initiated the Csoma`s Room restoration project when I visited the area in 2007, and realized the immense power of this building. My attitude towards the project is basically solid. I have tried to collect those people around me, who also have high resistance to severe financial and physical conditions that we could predict. I am looking forward to the successful ending of the working season.
