| A rather large buddha you can take a picture with. He towers over you and is probably a few people's width.
|
| It's said that a toad holding a coin in it's mouth is a good luck kinda thing. Some people try to buy figurines of this to put in their stores or houses. This toad doesn't seem to have much luck though. He looks like he's having such a tough luck of things he's put his er...gums around the coin too hard and it's broken...
|
| His friend next to him is faring much better though.
|
| There are also quite a lot of scenes of what might be daily happenings in ancient (and some, not so ancient) times. I don't know what's happening here, but it looks like the man is telling the woman something important. She's so intent on him she's ignoring her wailing child.
|
| But at least she's aware he's pulling down her pants. ^_^;; Wonder what's wrong with the poor kid. Mebbe he wants to buy sweets or something.
|
| Er...this is supposed to have a story behind it. But otherwise, I thought Ferrahn would enjoy seeing brute strength in display. (Okay, so I had taken the pic cos it was of a man fighting a tiger. Well, I could have sworn it was a tiger, but looking at the pic now, it's a dragon. O_o I'm not really that observant at times, am I?)
|
| One of the many pagodas around the park.
|
| Ah! Of course there must be a display of Sun Wukong, or as he's known to most of us animanga fans, Son Goku! ^__^ I rather like the monkey king from the legends.
|
| Erm...I would suppose this is a display of a scene in Son Goku's realm where he reigns over the other monkeys.
|
| This was just weird. *grin* The throwing in of a monkey in modern clothes was just so strange. He's even got pockets painted on the back of his pants. *grin* To my fancy, the blue-robed monkey on the left seems to be advising him against modernisation--or should we say, westernisation? *laughs* "Go back to your roots! Remember who you are!" *grin*
|
| Here's Mr Monkey King! I would assume he's giving royal commands. The one waving might be a wife or concubine?
|
| Remember the pagoda pictured before? *grin* I always enjoy "behind-the-scenes" pictures so I'm sharing these later pics.
|
| Yeah, I was really glad Lyndia thought to bring Ferrahn's cat along. ^_^ And we have her brother to thank for most of the pics with real people in them. *laughs*
