Temple of the Tooth

This is how I spent last Saturday. Exploring the Temple of the Tooth, and paying way too much for it. I should have bargained more and told the "guide" to beat it. Ah well, it was my first day in the town on my own - I'm still learning my way around. Its the place where the buddhists house their sacred tooth relic said to be Buddha's tooth - but no one can see it because it is housed under lock and key under gold domes. I barely caught a glimpse of the gold. The place was interesting despite and I found out that I didn't know nearly as much about Buddhism as maybe I should. Now I know a little bit more.
