Indian Temples...

Yesterday was a special day in my life. It was the first time for me to visit an Indian Temple annd I saw many colorful things in each temples and know interesting story or rules about Hinduism.. The first temple, before we went to see or pray, we had to wash our feet and hands to respect The God. Inside, there was five or six bell that everyone who is Hindu always rang it before praying; later, an Indian man explaines origins of Hinduism and show images of typical Gods like Sita..Thanks to that man, i know Indians respect cows and monkeys because the cow is thought to be the embodiment of God's Mother and the monkey, i can't remember~!..When the man finished his speech, we were taught how to do in the temple and were listened by another man who blew the strange intrument like the shell...At 10:30, we had a meal, i don't know what it is cause the food looked like a cake but I think a few students in my school could it. The taste was so strange and the drink was, too. Only me, i think, the person who ate food too much..
The next temple is near my hostel..In this temple, everybody had to cover the head because this is also the respect. Men who did the work inside wear the traditional customes from India and the man who explained spoke English was bad; sometimes he used Indian...This time, we were conduced to cook the cake and the temperature was very hot, my cheeks became red color but I liked the air while people were cooking ^^!! And when we had lunch, I was also the person who ate too much, i think because of this reason, I had to go to toilet three times later..Hic!!
The scope ended up. We had fun times and took a lot of pictures together and took more information from Indian culture!!
