Vegetarian Lunch

Yesterday I visited the worlds largest outdoor Bhudda. It was pretty much "Bhudda Land" minus a whole bunch of people running around in plushy Boddhisatva costumes posing for pictures with the family. It was gorgious scenery though. The temple and Bhudda are at the base of Latnua Peak, the highest point in Hong Kong. When I arrived at it's base, the top was obscured by clouds. Having it on good authority there was a well kept path to the top, I found my way to the trailhead and began to climb it. I hit the peak within an hour, and then ran down the otherside.

Today I walked through the markets. The markets are located in Kwaloon, across from Hong Kong island. It's grittier in Kwaloon and I enjoyed it more than I have walking around the central part of the city. The fish and bird markets were great and included a wide variety of grotesque looking guppies, and olde chinese men with cages full of tame finches. Also, today I'm going to check into a youth hostel. I think it will be a good change, and I'll have a chance to meet other people traveling asia.

Everything has been going very smoothly.
