Here are a few pictures from yesterday's trip to Lugang. The first is the lovely shoemaker and I.
The second is the Tianhou Temple. It's a major tourist/religious attraction and houses a very famous statute of Matzu.
The third is a detail shot of the top of another temple, the fourth is an old-style house that is both well-preserved and inhabited.
Quite a number of the homes are still lived in.
Next is the Nanjing Temple, so-called because it was built by immigrants from Nanjing. To the bottom right is a shot of the historical district. It's a really pretty area and a nice break from the endless monotony of concrete multi-story buildings elsewhere.
For those of you who just can't get enough (especially of temples--interiors, exteriors, and detail shots), you can always ask me to e-mail you more pictures. I will also put up a pair of short films from the Mormon-loving fanmaker when I learn how to edit movies. The first is him at work and the second is a rapid tour of his store/studio, including the most awesome painting of the Salt Lake temple EVER. (I told you, he loves Mormons.) Li described as "the temple in the apocalypse, when it's been graffitied." I offered to buy it, but it was US$3000.

Great pictures. What kind of shoes did you get this time? The last pair were fabulous. I'm trying to tell from your picture - did you do the great hair dye? Check out Shelley's hair story on her blog.
I got the same as last time, but with a patterned leather upper. No, I didn't dye my hair. I had no time or money before Halloween, and the money and the urge to do it have never coincide after Halloween.
Also, I don't have the password, so I can't view Shelley's blog.
