Sarah, when I was a kid I used to be scared of the Chinese dragon. I guess I'm used to these things now.

Interesting that they don't mention that this temple broke away from the sect! The rebels!

Interesting articles, sarah. Thanks!

Now did anyone fugure out why the singer carries an umbrella? My husband says it is used to keep all the groupies away, but I think he was just embarrassed that I know more about Japanese temples than him. I have it from a gopod source that he got thrown out of Japanese school in second or third grade!

lcuy are you talking about the singing in the rain guy? Gene Kelly? Only other umbrella guy that comes to mind is on the cover of "rain", Akira Kurasoura film? Don't think he was singing.

K got a bite on temples. Here are two more links on Hawaii Temples

Mels, she thinks we look like pirates. Oh the indignity!

Lcuy, LOL! He beats off the groupies with an umbrella! I think it does have something to so with protection, but of a more spiritual nature perhaps? Your husband's in good company. I got kicked out of Catholic school!

Sarah, Martin noticed that the singer in the tower always carried an umbrella as he was singing and he wanted to know why. Thanks for all the research you're doing! Interesting.

Aloha!
