Soprammobile da Taiwan.
Tornato da Taiwan ho portato un piccolo regalino per mia mamma, un soprammobile con due piccole pesche portafortuna. In oro… ma attenzione non sono piene ed il loro peso è minimo però sono proprio carine.
The reclining Buddha in Bangkok.
One of the most famous attractions in Bangkok is definitely the reclining Buddha. Obviously I couldn't miss seeing it and photographing it. Despite its grandeur, and the fact that it is covered in gold, it is the details that are most impressive: the hair (which I will write a separate post about), and the feet (and toes). Equally famous is the path of bowls, behind the statue, in which you have to insert a coin without missing any to have good luck.
