Guan Yin and duck necks.


Guan Yin, the buddhist God of Mercy, is having a celebration today. It included several dances with all the men painted up and looking quite feminine. I think this has to do with Guan Yin being represented as both female and male, depending on his/her mood. Other festivities included lighting giant candles and incense sticks. I don't think the God was pleased however, as it started to thunderstorm an hour later.




The vendor above sells nothing but fried duck necks. This could be a new fast food sensation. Sorry, but I just wasn't hungry. You wouldn't believe how long of a line this guy had. How much meat can there be on a duck neck?
