Still about my visit to Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Shatin, Hong Kong.So, me and my friend, we decided to find which one is the coolest Buddha:) Heyy, help us, by voting for them! Haha, ok here we go!

Because it was so hot,so we didn't stay too long in the main temple. And also I didn't know that there's a mummy,the founder of Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery,in the main temple too!! Wahhh,, so we missed it:(

We decided to see the upper portion of the monastery then back to the Pagoda again. In the upper part, I saw sleeping Buddha in front of the Giant Kun Yam. The White Big Kun Yam is located in front of fake waterfall. I remember there's a statue on the left side, a guy playing chinese instrument for the Kun Yam. In front of them, also on the left side, there's a small temple, with a statue in the center. Under the bridge, there's a pond, with so many colorful fish swimming around, in the lower pond, I saw some turtles were sunbathing, while their babies were in the corner, hiding:)

It was a good day, I really wanted to spend the whole day in that place actually. But we had to continue our journey. Okay, I followed my friend, because it was his idea to choose different way. Oh well, I was a little bit curious too, so yeah I finally agreed. Running down the stairs, my friend suddenly stopped and asked the direction to a girl that we met. She smiled and said nothing then leaving us. Haha! I could see a village, on the left side, and few houses near the jungle on the right side.
"So,,,bee farm or bookstore heyy?" I was busy taking pictures at that moment, when my friend offered me to go to the bookstore in the middle of the jungle. I thought he was joking about the bookstore. "Excuse me? a booksto....
Before I could finish my sentence, I saw a sign next to him,,yeah a bookstore! So we went to the bee farm first. Actually it was not a bee farm, or okay, it was, but a very small one.

Haha!!Yay!!Bees!!Cool!! I enthusiastically ran to them, haha, like I was trying to catch a train:p
I saw there were two tables for those bees, enjoying their lunch. I forgot about my friend (oops,,sorry banana boy,don't lose your cool!:p) He was standing there, outside the bee farm, under the tree, n patiently waiting for me. Awwww, bleaaargh!!xoxo
I just wanna take some pictures and then go! told myself. But suddenly an uncle,the owner of that farm,he came to me asking,"Ahhh,, so u wanna see those bees,don't you?" I smiled and said yes. There were bees everywhere, flying around me, I even saw some wasps joining the bees for free lunch! Hahaha. So happy to see them enjoying their food. But then I remembered about my friend!! I left that bee farm to find him, and he was still there,on the street under the tree:p. I almost forgot about the bookstore, if he didn't remind me. Haha, thank you, thank you!
It was just a house, looked like an empty one, because so quiet, thought it was closed on that day! We were getting closer, and I saw the wooden door was open!:) Full of curiosity, a little hope, and I was thinking of using my energy to just break it, my hand almost reached the door. I took a deep breath...and...
" Hello!! Welcome to my bookstore, I'm gonna show you something about....bla bla bla...
An old man, suddenly opened the door for us, like he was expecting of our visit. A little bit shocked, I looked at my friend, and he stared at me, we said nothing, but then just following that old man.
Heyy,,what did that old man say to us?:)
He shared cool stuffs,,with both of us,,,but what was it? A cool stuff from an old man living in the middle of the jungle, n calling his home as a bookstore? Haha,,I think it's too long, my story:p See you on the next post! :D
