After the World Religions Museum we went to the computer market in search for a tablet case. It was pretty neat too!  BUT FIRST... Bubble tea!!!! Passion fruit something!  They had lychee flavor too! Gotta try that one next!  Then it was time for Pig's Blood... Maybe I'll like it this time?  Voila!  Ok, I'm not so sure about this...  Yep, it's still gross!  Cute!  Hey! My favorite show to watch at Grandma's house! Cheap DVDS These were mousepads!!! Comic books! Oooh! I'm excited for this game!!! Angry bird iPad 2 Covers... These attach to your earphones to make you look "cute" I like this one! This guy had a katana!!!! Oh my!!! Hello! O.O   There's always gotta be girls modeling the electronics! Think I could be a phone model too? ;) hehe!

Museum of World Religions (in Yonghe City, Taipei County, Taiwan)

Today I went to an awesome museum about religions! Here are some pictures I took!  First you get to walk by a wall of falling water and learn how water is important in different religions.  And then down this hallway you get to make a "pilgrimmage" and see different questions illuminated on the walls. "Who created me?" for instance.  The next section is the Golden Lobby. The Golden Lobby is meant to look like a human eye and the point is to help the visitors to open their eyes and hearts to see the beauty in religion.  Blurry... :'( On the floor are different symbols for religions and zodiacs.  First stop is Christianity...    Next, Judaism...  Ancient Egypt... This was an offering table... Sounds sinister!  Islam...  Buddhism...  Zarathushtra (sp)...  Daoism...  Shinto...  Maya...  Sikhism...  Hinduism...  Next is an exhibit on how the Taiwanese practice religion... It's basically a combination of Daosim,
