Lama Temple, and COLD






Went around to the mandatory tourist attraction places. The Lama Temple is a temple for Buddhists, people go there and pray when they wish for good luck or respect the dead. Today the ground was very icy and slippery there, better pray for less slippery ice!
The small round thing picture is a "push-and-pray" machine. You push it and it goes around, gives you fortune! You can probably see that the surface is all worn out because thousands of people have been touching it...

I wore too little clothes today and it was a bit chilly in the wind, luckily a lot of the time was spent in subways because there are no free taxis because most of the drivers seem to prefer staying at home in this snowstorm. Subways were so full that there were people pushing in the passengers to the carts, too bad I didn't take a picture of that...

I should go to Thailand like last January! Beijing is no place for winters....
