Sorry for the tittle again. It is a direct translation from the chinese God, literally named: 九皇爷。Few days ago, we went to pay a visit
My friends planned for this for a week, secretly; As he want to make it a buddy trip, a secret-free trip where we can crap out loud. However, for the entertainment factor and the need of new blood joining our brotherhood, we made it a open trip at the end.
Lion went vegetarian for an afternoon... in our eye, it's a miracle for a cannibal to eat grass. She was sincere for the divination then (It's believe that it will improve the accuracy of the Nine King Grandfather's divination and blessing if you follow the commandment.) Miracle only last until as soon as her hungry stomach meet steamboat mobile at the dinner. Good lord, I'm telling ya, not easy for Lion.
This is Lion. ... and, Yes, literally named lion.
Back to the story...Where I want to took a chance to complain about GPS system Papago. Thanks to this little gizmo' it took us like 2 hours to reach the destination.
First things always come our mind when we land our feet on the land - food. And we spotted this:
Maybe somehow the food made me dizzy; adding with the exitement when I see the gate...
I got lost and my friend all waited for me haha. I'm a person easily get (over)exited with things. But it was worth while as I able to bump in to some scenarios like:
Super crowded streets!
and Beggar Gang!
and some serious looking Chinese Diviner!
(o"o) I totally can imagine how his angry expression similar to usavich ...
Don't make him mad...haha
I heard people said they do very good divinity. They can read your past and current life easily from your birthday. Some of my friend even do a regular "check up" with them. For me, I think I only need to do good on what coming at me. Knowing the future sometime can be a burden u know?
under the temple...
Getting near the temple... I see something really amazing. Crowd of people all handing burning incense like handing a Olympic torch, moving in such a dense group, squeezing with each other and try to make way to different gods statue they want to go.
Jason and his GF
I felt so guilty baring a heart to just capturing good picture and pray nothing about "Nine King Grandfather". So I silently said to the Gods statue above me. I told him the truth that, I'm looking forward to make good picture out of it to promote on something called The Internet. Then I explain to him what is The Internet and so on. It all happened in my mind.
Above my head it was all burning incense. I was amazed that I didn't get burned by any of them.
It say that a vow on this magical place can change one's destiny. Do you believe that?
At the center of everything. There are people who reciting mantra and words. I dunno why, I feel like making a movie out of this.
Over one oclock, finally, we felt like going home. It was a great day. I felt that this place is really magical. I mean... it's like Chinese version of Hogwards. One day I should made a story out of this.
