My afternoon spent learning about agarwood was genuinely enlightening; I had no idea how much there was to discover about this fascinating material. The vegan lunch was a delightful surprise, bursting with flavors that left me feeling energized and satisfied for the rest of my day. One minor suggestion would be to perhaps include a bit more hands-on exploration—getting to see the raw materials in person made each moment even more engaging.
