Escape to the Orient
Guess where I've been recently...(More on this later, I'll wait for your guesses...)
Update: Sorry if I mislead you (well, to tell the truth, I meant it...).
I didn't have to travel far to see this temple. Actually I didn't travel East, but West, and only for 22 km, about 14 miles, from my home. This is the Zu Lai temple, located in Cotia, a town in the greater São Paulo. It was built just a few years ago. (You can find more pictures here.)
They have a vegetarian cafeteria, a coffee shop, a gift shop, a small museum, and besides the Buddhist activities, they also teach several classes there: Tai Chi, Chinese language, vegetarian cooking, Shiitake mushroom cultivation, Kung Fu...
Surprised? Well, I was, too. A recent tourism ad says that if you can't find something in São Paulo, is because it doesn't exist. I guess this can be used as evidence...

Sou um estrangeiro aqui!
You understand me?

Geraldo,
Thanks for your nice comment..:)
I agree that two scale units are really helpful...even sometimes i feel that why do we all have different units/systems...It would be really nice to have only one, universal scale which would be easy for quick imagination..:))
So your son reside there...great! have you visited/ will be visiting Milwaukee..?
u haven't quit blogging, Geraldo, have you???
hope you are having a good time off the blogging world..:)
hope you had a beautiful Christmas and here's wishing you and yours a great new year ahead, Geraldo :)
Happy new year to you and yours!!!
