japanese mash

Hello! I'm originally from Cardiff in Wales but am currently living in Hagi-shi, Japan. I'm an Assistant Language Teacher on the Jet programme and have set up this blog to act as a diary of my time here and also to let friends know what I'm up to (I hate group emails as much as the next person!). Enjoy..... or be bored.

Thailand

These are the more respectable holiday snaps......

The Smirking Fat " Lucky Buddha", Bangkok - This is only open once a year and does not feature in any guide books. Only known to people of the buddhist religion and not seen by many foreigners. They looked as though they had seen a ghost when we showed up but they were very welcoming after the original shock that we knew about its existence.

Ang Thon National Marine Park Sunset Kho Phangan
Mae Nam Chao Phraya River, Bangkok....

Reclining buddha - Wat Po (45m long!).....

I like the fat buddha. Where was he? Specifically... and how did you know about him?

It was just north of Siam Square in Bangkok. We were actually on a pilgrimage to the penis shrine but were thrown into a tuk tuk by this crazy man who insited that we go see it. He wouldn't take no for an answer!

when we entered the shrine we were asked if we were buddhist as that's the only way you could know about it.
