At a point many of us went into a smaller part of the temple where they continued the service. It was packed in this smaller room and we sat for a long time. I was sitting cross legged but holding up my knees. I felt my left leg fall asleep. I tried my best to find a better position but it was too crowded.

At a point during the service you have to stand up to pay your respects. I stood but only made it up less than half way! I stumbled and started to fall backwards into the crowd of people behind me! I'm a tall guy so I felt badly for the people behind me that must have seen this towering guy falling backwards towards them!

They didn't manage to stop my fall so I ended up on the floor. Some guys helped me up but my leg wouldn't cooperate. I could hardly stand and now we had to walk too lol! I was so embarrassed.

Now my elbows are sore but my pride is hurt more lol.


Oh goodness !!!! Although physically it was quite the struggle.... I’m glad you had the experience
