Oh my gooooooddddd....!
And indeed, it was a horribly rainy day. It rained like crazy, like....one of the hardest ever rainfall I've seen in my life...and yet Darren said that it is normal here in Hong Kong. This has to be insane. I ran 2 mins to the subway station with a rain jacket and umbrella.....and my pants were half soaking wet. I can't imagine how all these Hong Kong people can go out in this weather with only an umbrella....
So Darren ditched (hahaha joking..he didn't ditch...)....or went go visit family for the day, and I wasn't really up to meeting like....a good 3/4 of his extended family, so me and Albert braved the wind and rain and went out. What a mistake. We went to Wong Tai Sai Temple, and it was packed...and raining!! Amazingly..I managed to buy incense and burn it all, but I was all wet. And what made me even more mad was that after I burnt all my incense...the rain stopped. GAH! I'll go back there some other time and burn incense more properly. GRRRR....
Then we went to this Chi Lin Nunnery..which was amazing. All the statues and temples were beautiful. It was too bad we could take pictures inside (we weren't allowed), but it was an amazing sight to see. Then we went to some weird park beside it, and to a nearby mall to get some air condititioning (after the rain it was freaken like...........100% humidity I swear). But now I'm home...cause my feet and clothes were all wet...and I was in a dire need of a shower. *sigh*
However, I am proud that I figured out my own way to get home *grins*
I have to figure out a way to upload pictures on this thing...

When you are buring the stuff in the temple, you must be swearing to god 'stop the raining!!!' The god hears your request, and stop the rain after. It makes sense....
