Day 2 - Giants in the City
Went to the Lu Zhou Di Mu Temple and walked with their procession down the streets of taiwan. They had over 20 giant puppets of the gods and shops everywhere set of fireworks and fire crackers. Seeing the giant gods walk through the city look really cool. When we arrived at the main temple, we were receive by lines and lines of fireworks and fire crackers! Check that out!
There was a ribbon cutting ceremony and my dad was one of the officials. Check out that picture, looks as if some light is shining from the heavens over him. Cool huhz! Lunch was at some restaurant where a wedding was happening as well. I sat at a different table with 3 other vegetarians from Ping Dong and we had about 10 different dishes. I'm stuffed =.=...
Between 2 – 5pm was free and easy and so I went about exploring. I guess i can pass off pretty much as a local as I was approached by a lady who asked if i was a student, and approached by a family who was asking for directions and surprisingly i knew the directions. Lolz.
At night, went back to the same temple for dinner, and it was yet another 10 course dinner for a table of 12, with only 5 of us eating there... I'm exploding... One of the lady even packed the left over food for me. Went to Si Da Night Market at night and walked till about 1am before returning.
