We finally made it to the Snake Tem
ple. We watched one episode of the Amazing Race before we left, because it was in Penang. Everyone kept saying you have to watch this, and we did, and Cannon wanted to go to the Snake Temple ever since and just because he saw it on TV. On the show they made the Snake Temple seem like it was crawling with snakes, and this really creeped me out, cause snakes creep me out. I was not very excited to go. I asked Cannon what he wanted to do one day and all he wanted to do was go to the Snake Temple. So when Brian got home from work we went.

We had a map, th
e kind you get from the mall that tells you all the fun things to do around town. SO I didn't have specific directions, so we got lost. I knew that I had seen signs for it while we were driving to the airport, so at least I knew the vicinity it was in. If you are not careful and watch the signs you shoot off the main highway here and end up heading the totally wrong way. Total side note, one night we were driving to Tesco, (which is similar to Wal-Mart except it makes Wal-Mart look like a nice place to shop.) Brian was driving and took what he thought was the off ramp to Tesco and all of the sudden we realized we were on the big bridge to the main land. Once your on there is no way to get off and change directions. Cannon was freaking out and saying, "Mom, Dad where are we going?" I told him that Dad was taking him to see the big bridge. He was like, "Thanks Dad, this is awesome!"

Anyway, the Snake Temple on the amazing race was 
crawling with snakes. The Snake Temple in real life has 6 plastic snakes, with all these signs saying they are pit vipers and are very poisonous. Needless to say Cannon was extremely disappointed. He kept walking around saying, "Mom, where are all the snakes." There was a beautiful garden in the back of the Temple that you could walk through. We stayed fro about 15 minutes and that was that. But every time we see a Chinese Temple Cannon says, "Look there's the Snake Temple, we found it more easily this time."

It is beautiful! What do they actually use it for? Maybe I should just google it :) Haha!
ReplyDeleteI think plastic snakes are a great idea!
ReplyDeleteBetter plastic than the real thing! Counting the days!!!! Hope Colorado doesn't seem a little dreary after Malaysia. We love you!
ReplyDeleteIt's a Chinese Temple, so people come to pray and meditate, and I think they come to worship the golden buddha. I think the plastic snakes are a great idea too!
