I can't blog much about today, so I'll just show pictures:
This is a Taoist temple located in northern Hong Kong. It's the largest temple in Hong Kong, and just absolutely stunning. Above is a picture of the rear garden. If I need to relax and run away, I'm running away to there.
In contrast, here's another picture from Mong Kok. I don't read Cantonese, but from my understanding, you wouldn't want your mother reading those signs if she could read Cantonese (sorry mom).
Let's go back to the Temple. Ah... peace. I guess in Taoist religions, you burn incense in multiples of three to ask the Gods for fortune or favors.
I look pissed off in this picture.
This was something I didn't notice until today. Outside of my dorm is a very large piller sculpture, dedicated to the victims of the Tianenman Square protests of 1989. The political liberties here in HK are much more extensive then I originally thought.I'll post some interesting thoughts soon, until then. Baii Baii.

Do you really think those are incense??? I was thinking is was ground up slave shop kids who didnt make it, or the hands of the kids that made one leg longer than the other. Kind of sad, but I do hate it when my jean legs are different lengths, and I feel those kids are getting a whole bowl of rice a day so they need to do a good job. Kids these days dont know the meaning of a hard days work. I also agree with Ian's statement on the first post...you do need to get "crunk" and get some "asian sex slaves" just be careful...they have no seoul. ;-) Happy Shopping!
