had an embarrassing incident with a monk ...
i went to shake his hand and he responds 'sorry i cannot touch a woman'
awkward.
where is this? i wanna go...
ReplyDeleteoh, that's happened to me before!
ReplyDeleteit wasn't with a monk though, instead it was a middle-eastern guy...not sure of what religion he was, but he couldn't touch women...I also felt awkward after I was denied a handshake! :/
Dan -- It's pretty close by ! Maybe 10 minutes away from RIT ? Just drive down East River, passed the lehigh, the intersection, and train tracks until you see Martin Road on the right. The temple is just down that road to the left. Surrounded by fields. It's so odd.

I'm going again today with prints that I made... they're pretty friendly. I thought it would be rude just to meander around with a camera so I introduced myself first (knocked on their door). They have a garden and animals and you'll see monks working outside.
They'll probably shake your hand because you're a man haha.
Liz-- so embarrassing ... haha I just felt really bad because I thought I made him feel embarrassed and overall it was just embarrassing! I'm glad I have someone to relate to now (:
