Bhutan - Buddhism, Gantay Gompa

In the little village before the gompa, there is a tiny store, the only one I saw like it, with candy and other glitter wrapped junk food. Monks, old and young gathered here, hung on the open window and waited for their turn to buy treats.
I didn't get a chance to find out what these treats cost but was told that, in general, monks get an allowance of about 10 dollars a month to buy all of their necessities. Even with so tiny an allowance, monks appear to join the rest of us in considering a bit of sugary/salty junk to be necessary.
There is no football or soccer field at Gantay Gompa, no basket ball hoop or volley ball net. The game above - kicking a plastic bag - went on for some time and never stopped evoking high glee. I am inspired to try this game but am lacking takers at the moment.
