Orthodox....

So last night was the begining of Yom Kippur...

Me and Guille (Arguentina) decided to head out to a jewish synagog we had heard about in Hong Kong...

We where walking down the road where it was looking but didn't see any sign's that said JCC in big letters. Luckly we saw a guy wearing a Kippa ahead and asked him where it was... he said in here and jestured to something that looked terribbly like an appartment building... so we went in.

We got all the way to Security where we where interrogated by a Big Jewish seceurity guard for 5 minutes... he asked us if we came last satruday (i started to get the hint that this was an orthodox temple...) he asked to see our id's, we went through the mettal detctor and they searched my back pack. I'm supprised they didn't ask to see if we where circumsized or not.

So we went in and of course it's divided by men and women. not only that but everyone in the congrigation has their own assigned seats... there was much chanting in Hebrew.

The other strange thing about this Orthodox Temple in Hong Kong is that there where no chinese people in the whole place.... it was all white people...

After about an hour of looking around nervously to see if someone was going to yell at us.. Me and Guille Split.

We got some mexican food for dinner and had a good time over all!

My camera wasn't allowed inside the Temple so no picutres...

the phone is officially gone.. so i'll be buying a new one asap....

Hope your all well
