Photo Story

One story says if people are into drugs and vices and the criminal activities that go with it ... it is alright not to follow the trend and the majority.  You may be an apple in the basket of oranges but ...to hell with them ... for as long as you are on the right path.

However this photo also tells us another side of the story. "Kaya ka napariwara kasi ang tigas ng ulo mo. You always follow what your mind dictates, kahit anong paalaala sa iyo ... ikaw pa rin ang nasusunod. I know you need to decide for yourself ... pero piliin mo naman ang mga laban mo. You need to know which ones are right and which ones are wrong.

You always defy convention and you refuse to obey the norms and the law. You always have the disposition to resist and the willingness to contend or fight. While others choose the right path, you go your own way ... even if you are alone.  As long as you are happy ... you don't mind being criticized, isolated, and ridiculed.

See where that gets you now! And there's no other person to blame but you.

Places We Visited: Wat Pho

Wat Pho is a Buddhist Temple Complex in Phra Nakhon District in Bangkok Thailand. Sometimes people call it as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

King Rama 1 rebuilt the temple complex and became the main temple where his ashes were enshrined. The temple was later expanded and extensively renovated by Rama III. The temple complex houses the largest collection of Buddha images including a 46-meter-long reclining Buddha.

Wat Pho covers an area of 60,000 square meters and is one of the largest and oldest wats in Bangkok. The complex consists of two walled compounds. The larger northern walled compound is called phuttawat and the southern compound is called sankhawat.

The perimeter wall of the main temple complex has sixteen gates, two of which serve as entrances for the public (one on Chetuphon Road, the other near the northwest corner).
