No, they did not appear to Buddhist monks of the Tibetan or SE Asian sects that I am familiar with, but rather maybe Shakta (Hindu) monks as they all wore the mark of the tilaka and had head/ facial hair… though I did not ask and am not sure. How can you tell the difference?

I just wondered due to the colors — didn’t zoom in to examine anything. Growing up in Japan and then visiting Thailand a couple of times, I became pretty complacent as to seeing monks there – but still find it unusual in the US. My younger brother was fascinated by the Thai monks’ “begging bowls” – he thought he might try to start that tradition in our neighborhood for himself. My mom quashed his zeal explaining religious tradition vs. greed. lol

Year of the Tiger

Exxon-Mobil Gas Station
Little River Turnpike

That was my plan for today, but they don’t have Exxon’s out this way. It’s all Circle K.

2/1/2022 – Lunar New Year

I tried real hard to find a Tiger in Columbia, Marietta, Maytown, and N York, PA without luck. went by a Chinese restaurant in Columbia, but their exterior decorations were for Valentines day. No Exxon stations, but some Turkey Hills. I’m submitting my plate of drunken noodles at the District Thai Restaurant on N George St in N York s my Lunar New Year celebration.

You could have had a Blue Moon to go with your meal! Or a Moon Pie for dessert!

Lunar New Year

Being completely clueless about any potential differences among the various new years, I submit this photo of the Chinese lanterns at the REACH, hoping that it qualifies.

2/1/22 Lunar New Year -this morning at 6am, it was so dark I think I saw “the monster, called Nian (Chinese for “year”)” Nian was a flesh-eating beast who comes out and feasts on humans. According to google, Nian was afraid of bright lights, loud noises and the color red. On my evening commute I saw red lights in a tree to ward off Nian.

I believe this says Tiger Fork, but I need to verify. Blagden Alley in DC.

2/1/22 lunar new year: tiger

On my ride today I stopped for a little free library pic, absconded with this great Winnie the Pooh book (stuck it up my jacket) and then before I packed up my bike to go home I scrolled through my teammates’ rides and got this great idea from Catie. I thought I had no hope of finding a lunar new year pic – but there was Tigger come to the rescue!
