flawed work of art.

OK, back by popular demand.. (the popular ones being my ex-housemate, Flo and my favourite boy in the world. oh man, that is so pathetic. but I do feel exceptionally happy that people still read what I have to say. sniff)

so, back to my China tour, which I still have nightmares about, thank you very much. NO MORE CHINA, SERIOUSLY!

ahem, anyway, another photo of Green Goat Palace - a Taoist temple in Chengdu. all Taoists are free to correct me but there's LaoZi's statue somewhere in there and if I'm not wrong he's the Father of Taoism.


hi dad!


chapteh! China style!
p/s: Nike shoes ok!

we later went on to WenShu monastery, different to GGP as this one was Zen Buddhist, which unfortunately didn't allow this shutterbug to take any photos. just imagine statues of Tripitakka, Buddha and Boddhisava. erm, easier if you think of Monkey King's shifu dude, the curly hair Buddha with red lips and erm some other golden Buddha statues.


our dinner was steamboat, but not just ANY steamboat, oh no, Chengdu people like it hot. (by the way, those are floating pieces of FAT)


we're talking about the temperature, the spiciness and the one-of-a-kind numbing sensation Chengdu-ans love. (siao fellas)


believe me when I say that our Chengdu hotel is the best in the entire leg of the tour. the conditions of some of the bathrooms where we went were... o my tian!


after a morning of hearing my mother go, 'why are we still waiting around in the lobby???', we arrive at JingLi Street by foot.
attention: tourist trap!


these artsy kiddies are everywhere!
when I wanted to take their photos upfront, the small boy raised his board in front of his face. and it wasn't because he was shy, but more because he was angry! Chinese people are frightening like that.


boy was I wrong when I thought that Italian shopkeepers were garang, my fellow Cheenamen are scarier! I had to quickly snap this before she turned around.


I want candy too!


don't be fooled, he is no wax work of madam tussaud, but a real life breathing lao yehhh, fanning away.

so that concludes today's post. watch out for the next one featuring Chengdu's international airport and our trip up to JiuZhaiGou - way up above sea level!
