| This temple is probably the same one that we visited with Mary and Neil in 2007 but we saw it with new eyes anyway. It is smack dab in the middle of the city, the Kowlook section, and again we were practically the only white people. Everyone was paying homage, shaking joss sticks, making food offerings to the gods, or just kneeling and praying. |

| On one side of the temple was this sign so we walked through to see what was going on. |
 |
| We saw row after row of these "fortune telling stalls" each one a small office with perhaps a shrine, a shelf of books, a computer and always a man or woman waiting for a client whose fate could be revealed. A few were marked "English Spoken Here." Some of the fortune tellers did in fact have clients sitting on the stools in front and were engaged in animated conversation, but I didn't want to intrude by taking their pictures. Hopefully this picture will convey the general atmosphere of the stalls. |

| Back on the street, Tom is standing in front of the Lien Yuen Hourly Hotel. It's hard to read the sign in the picture, but that's what it said. I guess if one is in need of a quick nap or a short lie-down... |
