Well, it ended up not being Buddha Mountain but rather it was something like a carnival. We walked around looking at this and that. We finally came to a place where there were all types of Buddha's. There were sitting Buddha's, reclining Buddha's etc. And, they were made out of all types of different materials. Some were made of Teak wood; some Jade (I think it was) and many other materials that I could not identify. Lin Nah laid some money down and lit a stick of incense. As we proceeded around the grounds, we came to a place where there were these long, slender wooden rods that made me think of a Shepherd's hook. People would pay to use these rods, to try and knock or touch something that was attached to a suspended wire, quite some distance off the ground. Lin Nah paid her money and won (I guess you would call it) a pack of watermelon seeds, which she immediately started to eat.

We continue slowly around this place, taking in all the sites and activities. I did not participate in any of the activities; I was merely an observer and companion to Lin Nah. We stopped at one of the many places that sold prepared food. Lin Nah has me to sit down at a table, she asks me what I want. I tell her that I want another Singha beer. She comes back with the beer and a platter of what appears to be chicken. She offers some to me and I reluctantly accept. Whatever it was it not only looked foul but it tasted foul. I have to say that, that was the most putrid stuff I had ever tasted. It was indeed, rank. I guess you might call it, the foulest of fowl. I commenced to chug-a-lug my Singha to try and get that foul taste out of my mouth. As soon as I finished downing that Singha, Lin Nah got me another one. By the way, Lin Nah was paying for everything. Why? I am not really sure. Maybe it was just because she liked me or maybe it was because I was her guest. And, maybe it was a combination of both. I guess I will never really know.

We sat there maybe 20 to 30 minutes, as Lin Nah consumed that foul bird. There were some other girls there that she knew and they were chit chatting back and forth. And, here I sat not able to understand much of anything of what they said. Since, I knew very little of their language. Lin Nah could speak a bit of broken English and understand enough so that we could talk a little bit back and forth but very little.

We finally get up from the table and start walking around again. We come to this stage, where people are arranged in a circle. Music is playing and the people in the circle are dancing individually as they sort of walk around the entire stage. Then the music would stop and the people would stop. I don't know if it was some sort of dance contest or what. But, it sort of reminded me of musical chairs. Lin Nah paid some money, got up on the stage and joined the circle. The music started and the people started dancing and proceeding around the circle. It was not wild gyration dancing but sort of a walk type dance, if that makes any sense. Lin Nah seemed to be having a great time, so I guess that was all that mattered. But, I really did not understand what was going on. Lin Nah leaves the stage and comes down and stands next to me. She still wants to observe what is taking place on the stage. We stand there for quite some time watching all the people dancing. Lin Nah pokes me and points to a girl on the stage and asks, "You like?" I looked closely for a moment and replied, "She's sway moch (spelling)." Which meant, she is very pretty. Lin Nah breaks out in laughter. I am wondering, "What in the world was so funny about my saying that a girl was very pretty?" Lin Nah finally regains here composure and explains as best she could and as best I could understand that, the girl that I think is so pretty is in fact a homosexual, a kahtoy (spelling), a puchi (spelling), a boy in other words and not a puying (spelling), girl. It was a rude awakening for me. I could hardly believe that the person I was observing on that stage was a man instead of a woman. It was quite a shock.
