It's Sunday and I am in Hong Kong. I worked a half day and then Molly and I went out with our colleague Tak and his lovely wife Suki. We all went to Shatin Pai Tau to visit the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery. We followed stairways cut into the mountain to get to the top the temple. The stairway climbing up and down is lined with golden aspects of the Buddha. At the top there are several temples each paying homage to a specific face of the god. It was completely worth the trek up. It was awe-inspiring and beautiful. I had never seen anything like this before.
After our tour of the monastery, we went back to Kowloon and shopped for souvenirs at the Jade Markets, Ladies Market and Temple Night Market.

What a day....so many sites, so many people...so good to be back at the hotel. I'm exhausted.
