Winter Break + Back to School + Lingyin Temple (Pt. 1).

Lunch out with Uncle! This is he and his grandson. 



Outside the restaurant.







That day was also Chloe's birthday. We went KTV-ing that night. Whoo!



Now, back at school! Homewaaark. Aaall. Rejeeecteeed. In the end. =^=;;;





In class...



Ah, photos from the freshmen tug-of-war game, which my class topped, BTW! Ran down the rest of the 36 classes without a hitch, yup yup! ; O These are my classmates doing their thing during the first few rounds.









From when I visited the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou with three batchmates.



















The stone bed on which Qigong, a Buddhist deity, apparently once slept. It is said that if you run your hand all along the edge of it, you'll have good luck!







A classmate's friend. I never got to know her name! =x=;





Yuxi, a classmate, bending over to get back to the outside. D8







Lai Chenlin, from Cartoon and Animation Class 2. (I'm from Class  1, FYI.)







Till the next *coughfloodishcough* post!

Guanyin Mountain + Guanyin Temple + Tudigong Temple.

By the seaside at Guanyin Mountain, a tourist hotspot during the right season. It was almost deserted when Uncle took us there, though.







Sand sculptures with themes from the Beijing Olympics.















Uncle also drove us to the Guanyin Temple.







A map of Buddhist deities.





























Lastly, Uncle also took us to the Tudigong Temple. *x*///

























Tudigong, the god of wealth.



Wen Caishen.



Wu Caishen.

In the end, I ran back to get a fortune stick. *x*/// The Qian that I got to pick was this story...
