1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #20

- Fo Guang Shan Monastery, Kaohsiung, Taiwan

(This massive Buddhist Monastery, the largest in Taiwan and possibly the region, housed the impressive 36m high Golden Buddha. The banner on the site caught my eye.."Do Good Things, Speak Good Words, Think Good Thoughts", a good mantra for life, indeed)

And oh, that Obedient Wife and TCM Lady were new revelations ..they were totally spot-on! Kudos, Siti Khalijah and Judee Tan! And please develop both characters further)

- "Milk Mangoes", Pingtung province, southern Taiwan

(Mangoes+glutinous rice from Thailand, sun-dried ones from Philiipines, R2E2 from Australia but "milk" mangoes from Taiwan? Yes, what a super surprise to find them stacked high along the roadside in brilliant shades of yellow and red, and when they are cut fresh into thick icecube sizes that slither into your mouth, hmmm...)

The Supertrees in the evening glow, wow!

- "Gardens By The Bay" Opening Day, with Jason Mraz, Singapore

(This is a 2-in-1 experience that will uplift anyone to new heights! Imagine being serenaded by Grammy-winner Jason Mraz in his soldout concert, on the opening day of the new botanical icon, Gardens By The Bay, right here in sunny Singapore. Hello Life, I'm yours!)

A quote of eternal wisdom from Jason on the night:
"When our true love breaks down and forgets their greatness, it's up to you to love them back into the person you know them to be"

Jason and Corinne May
