Mount Popa

This temple was up at the top of a mountain.

image

Which meant climbing a lot of stairs.

image

Barefoot.

image

Past a lot of monkeys.

image

And no, those monkeys are not potty trained.

image

Actually the only available potties are just holes in the ground.

image

And you are not allowed to wear your shoes to the holes.

image

Which is really disgusting.

image

But the monkeys are cute.

image

The temple at the top of the stairs was not terribly impressive.

image

The main draw is probably the view, but because it was the rainy season that was not so impressive.

image

When the fog cleared a bit you could see quite a ways.

image

Mostly Buddhas. So many Buddhas.

image

Even the statues seemed pretty unimpressed.

image

Though there was a happy one too.

image

It did have some cool dragons guarding it though.

image

Which didn’t coat the stares in grime. Unlike the monkeys.
