Re: Batam Info Thread

Our journey there was a long and hot one.The weather was hot and it also rain at the same time.There was some small trafiic jam along the way too. Almost every man and woman dozed off in the car during the trip. So now you all can imagine the length of the ride there...lol.

The scenery was good upon arrival and we could actually see Sillypore's Marina Bay Sand Casino from the top of KTM resort where the Guan Yin statue was being situated.


Due to the non-sunny but yet bright drizzling weather...it gives a very good lighting for my camera phone,so this time round i was able to take better clearer photos. Those who wish to go to this Guan Yin statue has to be careful,the car park there tho empty are meant for the Resort Guest,the security guard actually chase our driver away to park somewhere quite a distance from the statue itself.


Look at the statue of Guan Yin in KTM resort,the face look relatively quite manly. When i 1st visited KTM resort's Guan Yin statue,i was also curious why the architect makes the Guan Yin statue in a face of a MAN. Arent Guan Yin Goddess a lady? Went to do some research and learned later that in order for the Guan Yin herself to eventually attain enlightenment,she has to go thru thousands of reincarnation (die,reborn and then die and reborn again,keeps repeating thousands of time) and the very 1st incarnation of Guan Yin was actually a MAN.

At the bottom of the Guan Yin statue i see this :


Honestly,i dont know what it says on the tablet above...i guess it probably means the opening up of the Guan Yin museum monument thingy from a certain date,blah blah blah...hehehe...

Beside the Guan Yin Statue were the Monkey God temple...


...which i will come to it later.

...continue to next page...
