LARGE Buddha

Here are some pictures of nom nom local food we got. This is actually Thai, not Cantonese, but virtually the same to Americans....PS. I am getting better at chopsticks :))))

So we decided to take a little field trip to go see some large monument to Buddha up in the mountains at A Buddhist monastery.

First time riding the metro here in Hong Kong (the MTR)

To get to the monastery, you needed to take a cable car that went miles into the mountains of Hong Kong Island. When we went, the sun was just starting to set.

And here is all the touristy stuff up at the monastery.

Fun Facts about asians:

1. LOVE Christmas. They still have the music playing EVERYWHERE. Entire skyscrapers have Christmas designs in lights along all their faces. It's insane.

2. They are the slowest walkers.

3. They don't know what a personal bubble is.

4. They tend to have really nasty teeth.
