Temple in Taiwan


Marshall,
Hi! This is a picture of a temple one block away from my apartment. It is a very big temple. Temples here are types of churches for some of the Taiwanese people, but sadly, they often honor objects or statues or dead people instead of the God we know. Sometimes it gets very loud in the courtyard when they play music and chant to their gods.
One interesting thing that happens here is a women's exercise/dance class. They meet in the courtyard in the evenings, and sometimes there are over 100 women at once. They play some American music! In fact, I have seen them exercising to COUNTRY music. Can you believe it?
Do you like the decorations on this temple?
Love you!
Uncle Mut
