Thanks. They did come out pretty good. We werent stuck in traffic though. I used the continous drive to snap pics every 2/3 of a second as we passed.

There were 4 or 5 that actually captured the object that I wanted, the rest were junk.

Maybe you can imagine how much of a pain in the ass I am with everyone while taking these pics.

I know that no one wants to stop for me to take a million pics so I set the camera to just keep snapping as we go by.

Everyone knows that I'd LOVE to stop. They also know that if they stopped for every pic that I wanted we'd never get anywhere.

The driver sees me get the camera ready, setting the options. Then we all here...click-click-click-click-click-click-click just as we pass. :blush:

"It's ok, we don't have to stop. I got what I wanted with the continuous drive" :biggrin:

What is the attraction of the oversized goldfish? There are so many places that have them here. Some are HUGE too.

And take a look at the scary dragon. Enough to give you nightmares for sure. ;)

Geeze. What I really need here is a paying photo gig. Looking at all the pics I have of all of these different things....this is what I need. A pro pic gig.

Even a tiny one would be good at this point. :blush:

Of course there are more photos of the Bell Church ( as well as a few thousand of other mildly interesting things ).

I've got to take a break.

Thanks for your appreciation and comments. :)

Wow!

"Where do you live?"
"Just up the hill from you."
"OK, see you in about 3 days."

There was another building up on the hill that we didn't go up to see. By this point, everyone was tired and on the way down while I was still on the side of the hill taking photos.

One of many very cool sights to see at the church.

The door was locked to the temple here and I couldnt get close up photos of the golden man.

The reflections are very visible but the golden man is pretty cool to see. :D

Ever wondered what a "real" Chinese restaurant looks like here? Wonder no longer. Take a stroll with me through the Taipan Garden Restaurant.

Three of us came here and one had to do some bank business, which is notoriously time consuming. The three of us ordered and one went to stand in line with the bank.

Fifteen minutes after ordering the meals came. Three orders of rice, pork and some type of chicken. Not bad tasting and the price was surely good.

After we both finished the meal, our friend had still not come back from standing in the lines at the bank.

Over the next hour and 15 minutes I ordered 2 separate plates of the pork ribs. They were fantastic and cost about 3 bucks each.
