10,000 budhha monastery


now it's 8 pm.
today we visited the 10,000 buddha monastery in Sha Tin.  There are 12,800 buddha statues there, from small ones two inches high to giant ones 15 feet tall or so.

It was hot, humid, and buggy going up the steep hill.  Mosquitoes everywhere.  We had to stop and rest several times.  Poly's mom went with us.  

the statues themselves are not particularly well made or artistic.  I took a ton of photos.  Here's one with a few of the thousands of statues.
