24-03-2009 temple street in china town

Hello readers

First of all, a big WHOW !!! 327 visits in 8 days. that means that i am right to do this blog and i don't do it for nothing, BUT in total 19 comments, which could mean that :

- either my mother or my girlfriend are spending thetr day on the blog

- or that you are a lot to come to have a look but too shy or not interested to leave a message

Please believe that i am very happy to read these comments when around 22h00 i start updating the blog (tired and alone at mine... no don't cry...)

SO PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS if not not i will believe that the first reason is the real one !!!!

This being said, let me tell you about my discovery of the day, the chinese temple of china town

how to go : take a cab to temple street

and any way, you can't miss it ( yes you have seen this picture already but by night as last time it was closed when i arrived in the evening)
Here is what you can see when you come in and you lift your head up to the sky, impresssive isn't it (my english teachers would be proud of me by reading this question tag ! :-)
Then, i can't put all the pictures of the gods and godesses that are inthere but believe or not there are thousands and thousands (a lot of very small ones on every walls) this is the biggest piece of the temple, for info, there is a full made of pure gold buddha in this temple but this was closed when i arrived (i already lived this situation before, no ?)
Another one that i like because it is the only one not being skin coloured

another one, but i swear i stop now even if took 158 pictures (after having deleted the bad ones of course), you can see at the feet of this one the gifts given by the buddhists ( fruits, ...)At the 4th floor, you can find the garden, where there is another part of the temple I will speak about later on, but before, you see the wall with all these little squares on it ?

In fact these little squares are just thousands and thousands of little bouddhas again (see picture below), and everywhere around the gardens, in fact this temple is known as the 100000 bouddhas temple (and they all ahve a number)

In front of this wall there is the temple with the largest buddha praying wheel in the world

And it turns !!!!!!

It is really a shame that i don't have more storage space to show you more pictures (always the feeling not to chose the best one !!! arghh !!!) and more time (because it takes a fucking while to upload the pictures) but anyway i am sure that i will find a miraculous way at one point.

thank you very much once again for your interest to the blog

and write to you soooooooon

bye bye

ps : i am on my way to go to bed at 23H00!!!!!, it is the first time since i arrived, i am still under jetlag and completely exhausted (3 to 4 hours of slepp per night)
