Graffiti

This big rock is in the compound of the ah-Mah's Temple. Does anyone know this Chinese word?



Well, on our way to the A-Mah Temple in Macau, we walked past these lovely graffiti.

welcome to Macau!

And this view was on my way out of the temple.

    叫作＂岩＂，不过是繁体字．
    It's called "Yan" (means "rock" in English) in traditional Chinese.

    "Cliff" might be more correct than "rock".

    I like the Chinese word on the rock, but why anyone would write 'rock' in Chinese on there, we know it is a rock.
    Your graffiti is quite pretty and gets the message over.

    Hi, I'm Cloudia's translator friend. It's "yan" which is rock wall or cliff. The one above it is "ming" which means name, but here would be better translated famous. So the characters say it's a famous rock wall, famous cliff, famous boulder.

    The little line of characters to the side are unclear in the middle. It's something about cliff writing in the sixth year.

    Their graffiti is a whole lot nicer than ours. I'm having the hardest time with your blog, wenn. If I don't comment for a while it's because your blog was so slow coming up on my computer. Maybe I need a new computer. Hmmm...?

    The grafittis look like they are done by kids :). How creative. Malaysia should look at grafitti as art instead of shunning them away.

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..
