One place that I visited that I found really quiet was the lecture hall and the camp that I visited in September. And it was actually in the middle of the building, but it had such thick walls that the installation was so great that no sound could get through. And if there was nobody inside that lecture hall speaking, if you were just alone in there, it was quiet. It was really quiet. It was tranquil. I visited in September. I was there for three weeks and during those three weeks I would find myself in a lecture hall sitting in the dark and enjoying the quiet atmosphere. Sometimes I would visit this lecture hall with my friend who was whom we would just lay down on the really thick carpet that was wonderful to touch. And it was so quiet because there was nobody, as I told you, and the walls were thick and there was installed an additional soundproof technology outside the lecture hall, so that the outside noise wouldn’t get in. And it felt amazing. We were sitting around this lecture hall, we would study in classrooms and not use that lecture hall often. So it was always open. After classes, we would sneak into it and just lay down to find relaxation, to relax, to enjoy the moment of peace in our minds after grinding for so long during the lessons. And it made me feel like I was sleeping, but I was conscious at the same time. It was a really amazing experience. I missed it. I wanna go there, actually, like back again. And overall, it was a wonderful place to be in. I wish I could have taken a nap in there. It was really quiet. So quiet that during the first 10 minutes that I was there, I couldn’t even get used to the quietness and it was kinda strange.
