Random acts of kindness. Spontaneous sharing, of ideas, food and cultural treasures. Prayers, smiles and blessings.
Members of our news team have experienced all of this and more during the past week at the Parliament of the World's Religions.
Here are a few of the elements we've most enjoyed about taking part:

- Sitting in on brilliant musical performances.
- Snacking on Tim Tams!
- Experiencing all of the openness and willingness to learn about others' perspectives.
- Getting a chance to meet royalty.
- Eating a wide variety of world cuisines.
