Lotus pond

Today we visited a lake surrounded by 20 temples, including some where you enter through the mouth of a giant dragon and exit through the mouth of a giant tiger.

And then I looked at some more orchids. Predictably.

Traditional snacks/delicacies consumed today: bubble tea, red bean cake, beef noodle, honey pear, roasted sweet potato, bitter melon, a sesame pastry thing, some holy water from a temple that was blessed to improve my education.
