Dragon and Tiger Pagodas

Can you spot the "dragon and tiger pagodas"?


This temple faces directly opposite the dragon and tiger pagodas.

the exit at the tiger's mouth

Our tour guide told us to enter the dragon's mouth and come out from the tiger's mouth. Instead, we entered the dragon's mouth and climbed up its pagoda. Initially, I just climbed up the first floor but I couldn't get a good view from there. So, I climbed further up and I was glad that I did it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have witnessed such beautiful view from atop.

Finally, we hurriedly ran down the steps of the pagoda. When we exited from the tiger's mouth, our tour guide was already waiting and asked jokingly, "Did I ask you to climb up?"

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
