Haiensa Temple Stay
I feel at peace. I feel calm almost in a dream-like state. I feel like everything is at one and I feel tired. For someone who thinks too much and has problems falling asleep all of these feelings are great. I got here earlier than I was supposed too. I was to arrive...

The alarm went off at 345 am. Luckily I had packed the night before. It was going to be a long day and I hadn’t gotten a lot of sleep the night before. There was no sun to greet us when we left our hotel. There were a few stars and the calls to prayer from the mosque....
Mainland Chinese lining up to buy milk powder. It’s not an unusual sight as most do not trust the good quality in mainland China. I’ve noticed it getting worse as more and more come. It’s sad when a people don’t trust the quality of the food they buy. #china. (at...
