Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

Wandering around Chinatown on a photo walk will likely lead you to the Buddha Tooth Relic temple. This is a Buddhist temple and museum that was built to house the tooth relic of Buddha, hence the name.

The facade of the temple... just when you thought of leaving your wide-angle lens that's when you'll need it.

Incense burners guard all temple entrances.

Buddhists believe that burning incense honors Buddha and purifies the sprit.

Smaller Buddha relics line up the walls mostly for decorative purposes.


Offerings are constantly being attended to.

I have no idea what red cards says...

Chinatown

Old school Chinese Architecture.

One of the many highlights of the trip was to stop by and chow on some Authentic German Sausage.

'I am still wondering why I lost the last match'.

This is my space.

I am not Chinese, but I can roam around Chinatown.
