Isaac, Joy and Papa Go Japan: Day 3 and 4, Higashikawa, Otaru, Sounkyo and Asahidake
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did not plan to drive around the entire island of Hokkaido in the few days we had. It would not be practical or fun. So I decided to keep things within the centre of Hokkaido.
From Shikotsuko, we drove to Higashikawa (my favourite town) and stayed at my friends’ B&B. Dinner was spent watching the Rugby World Cup Finals with my friends (they were rooting for England) while Isaac and Joy played with their kids, who were a few years younger. Jody and Nina adore big sister Joy, whom they met when she came visiting during my solo trip with her when she turned 12, and the girls were happy to see her again.
The next morning, we set off again, without any plans once more. I thought, perhaps we could drive out to Otaru, just to have a look. Frankly, it was just an excuse to drive, as the drive itself is very pleasant. I told them, “Otaru is famous for their canals.”
Joy asked, “And?”
“That’s pretty much it,” I said. It is one big tourist trap, to be honest, and I told them, “Essentially, we are driving all the way to see Otaru’s Long Kangs.” They laughed and were cool with their father’s rather stupid travel plans.
“The canals are actually quite nice when it is winter, to be honest,” I added, trying to make it sound a bit more exciting.
When we got to Otaru, I found a parking lot near the canals and was quite pleased it said ¥100 for 30 minutes. After parking, I realized I read it wrongly and it was actually ¥400 for 30 minutes during the day, and ¥100 for 30 minutes AT NIGHT.
“We better not stay too long,” I told the kids. Joy, the financially-minded of the two, said, “Ya, not worth paying that kind of parking for Long Kang.”
So we snapped some photos, walked around the food court a bit, and then left Otaru. I figured we would get lunch further away, en route to Sounkyo, where we planned to stay the night.
Sounkyo is a quaint mountain resort area, located in Kamikawa. It is considered a touristy place, but a good base to hike Daisetsuzan National Park from. We stopped at a ramen place in Kamikawa called Yoshino, just off the highway. And wow, the ramen was great. They even had thick slices of Miton roast pork available as a side, in limited quantities. This is part of the fun of road trips: stumbling upon good places to eat.
After eating at Yoshino, we drove on to Sounkyo and stopped at the Twin Waterfalls rest stop. That was when we encountered some serious cold and wind chill. It was -1ºC and windy there. We looked at the majestic cliffs for a bit, stared at the waterfall which was not flowing very rapidly (Spring is when the ice melts and you get a grander sight) and then we ran into the souvenir store to enjoy some heat.
The store ladies were so kind, and offered us cups of soup. They had a hot pot set up with paper cups to serve their customers, and we were very thankful for the soup. So much so that I felt I had to buy some stuff there, in gratitude. I bought some sweets and grapes. You may have seen the Instastory of Joy and me eating said grapes in our ryokan later, and attempting to spit the seeds into the bowl.
I asked the kids if they wanted to climb the stairs to the viewing platform but the sign said, “20 minutes” and there was a sign to look out for bears. So we chickened out. Actually we were just lazy. It was too much of a climb on a cold autumn’s day just to see two off-peak waterfalls.
We finally checked into Kumoi Hotel, a nice little place that was renovated only two years ago. Many of these onsen hotels in areas like this tend to be old and tired. A couple of the hotels I saw along the way had signs with missing words in their names. But not the Kumoi.
The kids had to set up the futon beds themselves, something they learned to do in our first house, and I have to say, it is handy having two assistants to set up the beds.
At least this Sounkyo area had three restaurants open till 8pm, so we did not need to tabao food. We chose an Italian place called Bear Grill, run by a handsome old man who made great food.
We also stopped by the Seicomart, the FamilyMart of Hokkaido, to resupply our drinks and junk food. And then retired to our hotel.
Because the Kumoi has its own onsen baths, I took the kids to the baths and taught the son how it works. Joy already had some experience in our previous trip so she was fine. The son took some convincing. “Nobody will look at your junk lah,” I assured him.
I gave him pointers on how to use an onsen, like putting a small towel on his head, and using the same small towel to cover his lower bits. The butt, that one cannot cover, the small towel was not big enough.
The kids enjoyed the onsen experience thoroughly, and we vowed to do it again when we could. And we ended our night at Sounkyo with a movie screening in the room, where I introduced them to The Matrix. Suffice to say, their minds were blown.
The next morning we drove back towards Higashikawa and stopped at the Seven Stars Tree. It is a scenic spot where, I later learned, a famous oak tree, that was once used on the packaging of seven stars tobacco, stood.
I only found out when I got to the Tree. Great, we drove all this way to see a cigarette advertisement. But the view was really nice lah. So it was not for nothing.
We also made a stop at the Shirogane Blue Pond, which was recently upgraded with new viewing platforms and lights. There, we spotted some dumb tourists taking photos on a tree branch that grew over the water. This is why we can’t have nice things.
By then it was close to sunset, and I didn’t want to drive in the dark, so we drove to Hotel Bear Monte, near Asahidake mountain, where I booked a night in this bigger, fancier onsen hotel. It took a lot of talking to convince the kids that it is okay to walk around the hotel in our yukata. And even to have the buffet dinner wearing our takata.
“This is how the farmers used to do it, on their vacations to onsen hotels,” I told the kids. They looked a little skeptical but took to it eventually. So we walked here walked there, like a boss, in our yukatas.
Like Japanese farmers on their winter onsen vacations.

[The Evolution of Religions in India]
In the early days, India had a great civilization. From 3000-2000 BC, Harappa and Mohenjodaro were the great civilizations there. The actual occupants of India who lived there were the Dravidia race. The Dravidia were the indigenous people who have lived in Harrapa which was located in Punjab and North Karachi around 3000-2000 BC [1].
Dravidia was known to believe in politheist that is believing in multiple Gods. This can be segregated into many for instance, God in fertility and God in prosperity [2]. According to Ernest Mackay in his book titled Early Indus Civilizations, most of the Indus worshipped animals such as crocodiles and elephants and trees like peepal [3]. Moreover, rituals such as slaughtering animals were held to be presented in front oftheir Gods. Apart from that, they found a man-made pool where a ritual called “Great Bath” was performed. The “Great Bath” was the holy bath ritual and this was found in Mohenjodaro. The purpose of this worship and ritual was to show their gratitude towards the Gods to receive blessing and prosperity upon them [4].
There is a famous theory interpreted as the change of the India social life structure in those days. This theory relates to Arya entering India. Around 1800-1000 BC, the Arya which was originated from Iran entered India. The word Arya means noble and they were noble race. Their facial features were fair skin with pointed nose and were famous for their art of war. The Dravidia were not good in war and therefore they were defeated by the Arya. Hence, the Dravidia people migrated to the South part of India [5]. The evidence of this war was proven by the archaeologist who performed the excavation in Harappa. They found lots of dead human skeleton which proves that the war happened between Arya and Dravidia and Arya defeated Dravidia. Apart from that, the Harappa city was demolished [6].
Introduction of Monotheism By Arya to India
In India, the structure of the religion was influenced by the Arya until Brahma was introduced or also known as Hindu today. Way before Arya entered India, they had their own belief and it was called Arya Dharma [7]. Dharma means ‘Way of Life’ and therefore Arya Dharma means ‘Arya Way of Life’[8]. The concept of Arya Dharma is that they believe in one God and this is referring to the monotheism [9]. Most of the westerner researchers claimed that Arya Dharma was influenced by the Zoroaster religion which was originated from Iran. This is because there are similarities in the Book of Veda and the Holy Book of Zoroaster that is the Gathas according to Mary Boyce in her research from the Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices.
Another source claims that Arya Dharma was influenced by the Abraham or Ibrahim from Mesopotamia. Prof Uthaya Naidu mentioned in his book titled “Bible of Aryan Invasions: Aryan Invasions & Genocide of Negroes, Semites & Mongols The Bible of Aryan Invasions” that in between 1500 BC and 800 BC there were 4 attacks following by the Aryan entering India. The 4 attacks were called:
1. Arya Rigvedic (1500 BC)
2. Aryan II (1400 BC)
3. Ras Arya Krishnaite (1200 BC)
4. Ras Arya Mahabharata (900-800 BC)
The first invasion which is known as Arya Rigvedic was the major attack caused by Arya to India and fought with Dravidia which was the first people to attack the civilization in Indus river. It resulted in Dravidia was defeated and were expelled to South India. In the following century which was known as the second entry of Arya to India it was known as Indo-Arya civilization. The Arya conquered two main parts in India: Punjab and Doab [10]. After the entrance of Aryan II to India, the Book of Veda was written in Sanskrit as the main language. This is because the Aryan II spread their belief and religion to India. The belief and religion that was brought to India by Arya was influenced by monotheism.
They worshipped a God named Brahman. Apart from that, they also believed in multiple Gods that represents world such as Pretivi as the God of Earth, Surya as the God of Sun, Vayu as the God of Wind, Varuna as the God of Ocean and Agni as the God of Fire [11]. Although the names of the Gods had only existed after the writing of Book of Veda, the spiritual belief towards the Gods were there way before that [12].
Vedic Era
When Aryan started to migrate to India, the mixture of the culture and religion occurred and therefore this was how the Book of Veda was written around 1400 to 1000 BC. It was known as the Vedic Era [13]. The Book of Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Athraya Veda were written based on the mixture of Arya theology and Dravidia. Moreover, they had also written another Holy book which was called Upanishads. The content of Books of Veda and Upanishads were combined and called as the Holy Book of Sruti was revealed [14].
Veda was originally called as Brahma religion and the language of this religion was called the Sanskrit. The believers mastered this language [15]. Originally, the Sanskrit was mastered by the Aryan only. But after mastering the language, the people were slowly not interested to master the language anymore. Hence, the mixture of the Sanskrit language with the language used by Dravidia, came in the new languages such as the Kannada, Telugu and Malayali. These new languages were originated from the ancient language of Proto Dravida which was mixed from the halt of the usage of the Sanskrit by the Brahmin [16].
This is because the Brahmin or the priests of the Brahmin were originally from the Arya clan and therefore, they were responsible to teach the Indians in Sanskrit language [17].
The Birth of Non-Caste Religion in India
In the 7th Century BC, the Brahmin had introduced the caste system that is the hierarchical system [18]. This hierarchical system consisting of religionist, rulers (government), companies and those people who followed the religion. In 600 BC, a ruler for the Jainism religion came into picture and was known as Vardhmana or Mahavira. This religion did not practice the caste system like the Brahma did. The language used in Jainism was Prakrit but this religion was only practiced inside India. No sign of development of this religion outside India.
After a few years later, around 563 BC, the Siddharta Gautama Buddha was born. He introduced his religion which was called Buddha without the caste system. He used Pali as the langugage to convey the religion. He had so many students under him and this made the Buddhism to be spread world wide. When these two religions (Jainism and Buddhism) were developing, the Vedic or the Brahma was slowly degenerating.
The Introduction to the writing of Holy Book of Smriti
As the time, culture and geography changed, the Sanskrit language had diminished. But the effort was still there to make sure that the Sanskrit language preserved. Wendy Doniger mentioned in her book titled The Hindus: An Alternative History that a new wave existed which had historical and saga elements and these books are Mahabhrata and Ramayana. The writing of these scriptures started in 300 BC-200 C and some historians claimed that the writing of the two books started in 400 BC [19].
This time around was known as the Wiracarita where a big epic war occurred between Arjuna, Krishna (Mahabhrata) and Sri Rama (Ramayana). In Mahabhrata, it consists of stories that relates to the existence of multiple Gods that led to the development of the Book of Purana [20]. The writing and the development of this Book was meant to maintain the usage of Sanskrit language among the Aryan people in India.
During 300 BC till 500 C was the time of new development in Brahma. It was known as Puranic time where the writing of the other scriptures began besides the Book of Sruti (Veda and Upanishads) in order to be used in Brahma [21]. The writing of the other Holy Book besides Sruti was known as the writing of Smriti. Among the Holy Books that were written during this time comprising Books of Sutra Dharma, Shastras, Mahabhrata, Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, Pura and others.
During Puranic time, the construction of the statue of Greece or Hellenism had started to enter India and influenced the Brahma. Apart from that, Dravidia was the main religion that introduced polytheism and it also reflect in the writings of the holy books and Purana story-line. In the early history, the Brahma was not known as worshipperof multiple Gods (polytheism). They only believed in one God. Around 1500 BC to 300 BC (Vedic), no signs of holy statues found and worshipped by the people during that time.
Why the era of Vedic do not have statue?
In the era of vedic (1500 SM- 500 SM), there were no idol or image of God worshipped by the people during that time. It is due to the law which forbid to create idols in the image of God as stated in the book of Veda and Upanishads (Sruti). Furthermore, the book Veda and Upanishads should be their reference. Following verse shows the prohibition of worshipping idols:
1) “na tasya pratima asti
“God do not have any image.” (Yajurveda 32:3)
2) “shudhama poapvidham”
“God do not have established body and it is pure.” (Yajurveda 40:8)
3) “Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste”
“Those worshipper of nature (air, water, fire or soil) will enter darkness and even goes in deeper for those who worship idols.(Yajurveda 40:9)
Even during this era, the characteristics of monotheism of God was emphasized in the Rig Veda and Upanishads.
1) “Ekam sadvipra bahudhaavadanti
“God is one and intelligent people praise God with various name” ( Rigveda book 1: hymn 164 verse 46)
2) “Ekam eva advityam Brahman”[22]
“God is one, there is no two” (Chandogya Upanishad chapter 6 hymn 2 verse 1)
Moreover, there are many verses similar to it but the religion started to grow with the additional Holy Book in year of 300 SM. It is known as the wave writing of the Smriti Book which gave an impact towards Brahma religion till the story of God’s and King’s that rapidly persuaded by own verse interpretations. It can be seen in the book of Mahabhrata and the book of Purana. The book of Purana contained many parts which well known as Mahapurana which divided into 18 books such as;
a) Brahmapurana, b) Padmapurana, c) Visnupurana, d) Bhagavatapurana, e) Naradapurana, f) Markandeypurana, g) Agnipurana, h) Bhavisyapurana, i) Brahmavaiavartapurana, j) Lingapurana, k) Varahapurana, l) Skandapurana, m) Kurmapurana, n) Matsyapurana, o) Garudapurana, dan p) Brahmandapurana.
This book was gathered within a long duration and known as the written period of Puranic. [23] There were mixed and additional information with regards to the question of God in Brahma religion happened in this era. It started from this era which the doctrine of pantheism and polytheism started to expand and grow within the Brahma adherent. The doctrine which believed that everything are able to provide benefits which constituted the elements of God (pantheism), worshipping idols and make God more than one which align with the incarnation of God. It undergo through creature body with various types (avatar) and henotheism.
New command of inventing Idols
The book Purana encourage the Hindu adherent to invent idols. There are text in the book Matsya Purana which explained about it and located under the topic of Arsetektur (base on the reference of I Wayan Maswinara.
“There are idols that must be placed inside the temple. The idol of God Visnu need to be designed with four hands and eight hands. If the design consist of 8 hands, the hand, we must hold the Sankha (Skin of a shell), gada, arrow and lotus. Left hand need to hold the arc, Padma, and a cakra. If they invent only four hands, gada and Padma consist in my right hand while cakra and sankha will be on left hand. Visnu will be pictured by standing on the early. Garuda the king of bird will move around it. Then, Garuda will be at the right leg of Visnu. Idols of Laksmi Goddess will be on the left side of Visnu idols and Laksmi idols need to hold the Lotus flower. The good idols will be created by gold, silver, copper, jewelry, stone, wood and a mix of metal. The size of Gods and Goddess has to be true.”[25]
Same goes to other Gods. Purana has outlined the picture and image of their God until the idols needs to be created. For example, the face and structure of Siva has been outlined in the Purana:
”Idol of Lord Siva need to be created using a loose long hair and need to put a moon on the forehead. The idols need to describe Siva at the age of 16 years old. Siva need to wear clothes which created by animal fur and has snake necklace on his neck. The ear will be attach with peacock fur. If the stick need to be attached, it has to be on the left side. Furthermore, Siva ride on a cow which the idols have two hands and if the idols of Siva is made in situation of dancing, the idols need to consist of 10 hands. Moreover, if the idols is meant to show Lord Siva destroying the Tripura, the idols need to have 16 hands.”[26]
The book of Purana explained the story about the requirement of designing the Idols. It shows the development which do not belongs to the actual teaching of Veda. Even Siva did not mention in the earliest book such as Veda and Upanishads. [27] In the Era in which is the rising of second Hindu religion which there were many additional doctrine of the Veda teaching.
In the era of Puranic, the religion of Hindu was influenced by polytheism. Besides, the development and expanding of worshipping the idols at temples happened. After that, the religion of Brahma started to extinct. During the rulings time of Asoka in India, under the empire of Maurya. King Asoka declared the Buddhism as their official religion. In year 269-232 SM. King Asoka emphasized on the language usage of Pali in order to spread the religion of Buddha. [28]
At the ruling time of Asoka, the development and preaching of Hinduism in India was stunted due to expanding of Buddhism religion rapidly towards the east. After a while, Brahma religion gain new opportunity when the empire of Gupta took over the ruling dominantly in India.
During this era, the usage of Sanskrit language was revived and indicates Hinduism religion as an official religion. Moreover, during the rising of Gupta empire (320 M- 500 M) shows the development of Hinduism traditions which is to create few flow that focuses towards the Lords inside the community. For example, Vaishnavisme ( focused on Vishnu), Shaivisme ( focused on Siva ) and Shaktisme ( focused on head of Goddess). That’s the reason why the Hindu temple was influenced by God from Siva, Vishnu and Devi family. There was no temples focus on Brahma result to different types of Brahma which rarely spoken by the Hindu followers.[29]
Based on Wendy Doniger books entitle The Hindus, the written of Smriti book was successfully completed and gathered during the Gupta empire and was made as reference for Hindu followers. The books of Purana was made as an important reference of the infrastructure of idols inside the temples. The image of Gods inside the temples was majoritydesigned according to the book of Purana.[30] Therefore, the practice of Hinduism in this era are mostly influenced with the development of Puranic and Gupta empire.
Discussion about the Hinduism name.
The word Hindu or Hinduism was not found in any holy book of Hinduism even the word was been newly introduced.[31] Based on Pundit Jawahar LaI Nehru inside the book, Discovery of India, the word Hindu was firstly used by the Persian which refers to the Indus River. They called it as Hindus.[32]
After that, the word Hindu was used by an author from British in the year of 1830. It refers to the teachings and religion professed by the community overthere. Polemic occurred among the scholars in India towards the name of religion professed by the Hindu follower. They embraced the Veda scriptures. They enjoyed with the name Vedanta which means a person who followed the Veda scripture. There is also other name such as Sanatana Dharma which means the eternal truth (natural law). They are also synonym with Brahma religion while the word Hindu do not agree whole among their scholar. Moreover, the word was expand and become a specific name towards the religion embraced by a group of people who follow the Veda scriptures and culture of India.
Conclusion
The original teaching of Veda and Upanishads is emphasized on the concept of monotheism. The concept of God and Goddess was changed whilst entering the era when smriti is written. After that, it developed and expanded through the introduction of types of worshipping according to the classes of their Gods such as Siva, Vishnu and Dewi. It continued till the era which the Hinduism owns the history and faced the up and down phased in a long duration. It also includes the Modern era which consist of few figures such as Ram Mohan Roy, Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi and many more that contribute the innovation of ideas towards this teaching.

[15] It is a need to emphasis that Arya Nation did not embraced Hinduism but they brought a new teaching gained by Indo-Arya, according to Prof, Norman Brown inside the Book, Pakistan and Western Asia. The culture of Arya was closer to Zoroaster Avesta holy scriptures which teach oneness of God. Meanwhile Hinduism is a result of syncretism with the culture of others after long time they stayed till the existent of Hinduism today.
[16] Refer to Soegiri DS, (2008). Arus Filsafat, PT Ultimus, Bandung, Indonesia, hlm 244, It is due to the group of Aryan that wants the community to use the Sanskrit language as their medium communication while in earliest phase they used Sanskrit language as a foreign language which do not used by the Dravidia tribes.

[18] Eventhough the arguments that Kasta or Varna was introduced in Rig Veda books: 90: 11-12 but the meaning does not refer to some part of the community which built one body. The complicated Kast system was covered with religion which started to develop in the era of 8 SM.

[22] Max Muller translated: “In the beginning,’my dear,’ my dear,’there was that only which is (τὸ ὄν), one only, without a second. Others say, in the beginning there was that only which is not (τὸ μὴ ὄν), one only, without a second; and from that which is not, that which is was born.”
[23] Differences occurred among the Indologist regards to the date of Purana firstly written. Based on Wendy Doniger also did research about the age of the Purana scriptures written and they identified it was around 250 M-1000 M. It started with Matsya Purana and Markandey Purana around 250 M and end with Linga Purana around 1000 M.
[24] Avatar was an incarnation or the birth of God in a form of human such as Lord Visnu. Lord Visnu came down to the earth through incarnation and become Sri Rama, Krishna and Buddha.

ก่อนไหว้มีพิธีกรรมเล็กๆ ท่องไว้เลยว่า “ห้ามทำด้ายหลุดมือเด็ดขาด” ถ้าไม่ชัวร์แนะนำให้ซ้อมให้ดีก่อนไหว้ท่าน ข้างหน้าท่านจะมีป้ายบอกวิธีสอดด้ายแดงที่นิ้ว ไม่ต้องกลัวว่าจะทำไม่เป็น ทำได้แน่นอน และตรงนั้นจะมีลุงคนหนึ่งคอยยืนแนะนำด้วย ไม่ชัวร์ก็เดินไปถามลุงเลย
นิ้วที่ใช่คือ นิ้วนางมาแตะนิ้วโป้งทั้ง 2 มือพร้อมกัน แล้วเอานิ้วก้อยมือขวาสอดรูของนิ้วนางข้างซ้าย เอานิ้วก้อยมือซ้าย สอดรูนิ้วนางข้างขวา เช่นนั้นแหละ… เมื่อนิ้วพร้อมแล้ว คราวนี้ก็มาถึงใจเรา
สำคัญคือใจต้องนิ่งๆ อย่าสงสัย อย่าคิดไม่ดี โดยเฉพาะอย่าคิดว่า อย่างเราไม่น่าจะเจอคนที่ใช่หรอก บิ๊วด์ศรัทธามาเอ่อๆ ในใจไว้เยอะๆ และต้องเปิดใจหนักๆ เลย คือต้องอย่าตัดสินตัวเอง และอย่าตัดสินใคร คิดว่าคนรักที่ดี เขาอาจมาในแบบที่เราไม่คาดฝัน และเราเจอเขาแน่นอน มีลิสต์ผู้ชายที่เราอยากให้เขามาเป็นคู่ไว้ในใจนะ แนะนำว่าเอาที่สมน้ำสมเนื้อ คนดีมีน้ำใจ ช่วยเหลือเกื้อกูลเรา เป็นเพื่อนที่ดีสำหรับชีวิตเรา ร่วมทุกข์ร่วมสุขไปด้วยกัน และรักเราที่เป็นเราอะไรแบบนี้
นิ้วพร้อม ใจพร้อมแล้ว เริ่มทำนิ้ว แล้วเดินไปหยิบด้ายแดงมาสอดตามนิ้ว เอานิ้วชี้และนิ้วกลางหนีบด้ายไว้ ห้ามปล่อยด้ายหลุดมือนะ เดินมายืนหน้าท่านเทพ เคารพองค์อาวุโสตรงกลาง 3 ครั้ง ตั้งนะโมตัสสะด้วย 3 จบ และสำหรับผู้หญิง เราต้องเดินไปขอคู่ที่องค์เจ้าสาวก่อน ก็เดินไปตรงหน้าท่าน แล้วไหว้ท่าน 3 ครั้ง แล้วตั้งจิตขอผู้ชายคนนั้นกับท่านเลย ลงดีเทลไปเลยนะ เสร็จแล้วเดินไปที่รูปปั้นเจ้าบ่าว ใช้มือลูบที่เท้าท่าน 3 ครั้ง ถึงตอนนี้ก็ยังห้ามปล่อยด้ายนะ ใช้มือที่จับด้ายทั้งสองลูบเท้าท่าน 3 ครั้ง ประมาณว่าท่านได้โปรดเมตตา ส่งผู้ชายคนนั้นมาทีเถอะ
แล้วก็ปล่อยมือออกได้ เอาด้ายแดงผูกไว้ที่เชือกตรงไหนก็ได้ หรือจะผูกให้สูงๆ เอาให้ใกล้หัวใจท่านที่สุดนี่ล่ะ เป็นอันเสร็จพิธี ทำใจนิ่งๆ ไปยืนต่อหน้าองค์เทพทั้ง 3 อธิษฐานซ้ำอีกครั้ง ขอให้คำขอของเราเป็นจริงด้วยเถิด
สังเกตนะว่าตอนนั้นถ้าอยู่ดีๆ มีลมพัดวูบมา หรือมีฝนพรำ หรืออะไรแปลกๆ ก็แล้วแต่ อาจแปลได้ว่าท่านรับรู้แล้ว หลังจากนั้นก็ศรัทธาต่อไป เชื่อเถอะว่าผู้หญิงอย่างเรา มีคู่ดีๆ ได้แน่นอน ขอแค่เปิดใจ และลองมองคนที่ไม่คิดจะมองดูบ้าง เขาอาจมาเหนือ ดีขึ้นๆๆๆ จนเราต้องพูดกับตัวเองว่า “ดีนะที่ไม่มองข้ามเขาไป” ลองดูนะคะ :)
Single ladies don't lose hope!
If love is broken, where should I go? Turn to the goddess. " pay homage to the real bachelorette " to Cleo. It turns out that there is a phenomenon. Girls follow each other. Many people secretly say " Within 1 months, there are people who come in life. " so i want to tell you again. The story of the red God.
Starting to leave Hong Kong. Wake up early before nine o'clock. Let's go to wat hope ta Sian. Anyone who can stop by to buy fresh flowers, choose your favorite color. Go with your heart. Let's go to pay respect to the In wat hope ta Sian, there are many holy gods together. But single girls who want to ask for love, suggest that you to keep your mind to walk in front of the red thread God. There are a few magical gimmick while paying respect too..
The Red Thread God. He is a Chinese name of Jade God. It means the gods of love. He comes 3 Golden Buddha. Notice well. There will be a big red thread. Connect All 3 of them. The middle one is the Lord. Look senior in his hand. It's like holding a book. On the left side is a God and the right side is a God.
Before paying respect, there is a small ritual. Let's remember that " do not lose your hand if you are not sure, I recommend you to practice well before paying respect to him. You will be a sign to tell you how to put red thread on your finger. Don't be And there will be an uncle to introduce me. If you are not sure, just walk to ask uncle.
The right finger is her finger to touch all 2 thumbs at the same time and put the pinky finger on her right hand in her left finger. Put her left finger on her right finger... when the finger is ready, this time comes to our heart.
The important thing is that you need to be calm. Don't doubt. Don't think bad things. Especially don't think that we shouldn't meet the right person. Big faith in my heart and you have to open your heart. Don't judge yourself and don't judge anyone. Think that you love. Well, he may come in a way we didn't expect and we met him for sure. There is a list of men that we want him to be a couple in our heart. I suggest that they deserve the good people, generous people, help. We are good friends for our lives. Let's join together and love us for being us. Something like this.
Fingers are ready. My heart is ready. Start making fingers. Walk to pick up red thread to put the finger and middle finger and middle finger. Don't let the thread fall off. Walk to stand in front of the senior goddess in the middle 3 times. Mot cuddle sasa with 3 ends and for women, we have to walk to ask for a couple that the bride first, then walk in front of him and pay respect to him 3 times and ask that man with him. So I posted it's good. Let's go. Walk to the statue of the groom. Use His Feet 3 times. Until now, you still don't let go. Use both hands to touch your feet 3 times. It's like you have mercy. Send that man. Come on.
Then let your hands go. Put Red Thread on the rope anywhere or tie it high. Put it close to your heart. This is done. The ceremony. Stand in front of the 3 Gods. Pray over again. Ask for our request. It's true.
Notice that if there is a wind blowing or rain or something strange, it may translate that you know. Then believe me that a woman like us can have a good couple for sure. Just open your mind and look at those who doesn't think. I will look at it. He may come north and better that I have to say to myself "it's good that I don't ignore him" Let's try. :)Translated

#南美vlog #獨遊 #南極vlog
真的剪無可剪了, 很多片段想放進去但都已經剪走了? 全部都是自己拍攝加後製的? 我叫Derek. 2019年10月, 我作了一個永世不會忘記的決定。因為我知道現在不做, 可能退休才有機會做, 甚至整輩子都沒有機會做。我辭了工作, 一個人背住22kg的衣服和攝影器材, 花盡了積蓄,
到了地球另一面, 一個亞洲人可能整輩子都不會踏足的地方 - 中南美。旅遊到訪的主要地方分別有墨西哥, 古巴, 伯利茲, 危地馬拉, 厄瓜多爾, 加拉帕戈斯群島, 秘魯, 馬丘比丘, 亞馬遜, 智利, 阿根廷, 玻利維亞和南極vlog。
My name is Derek. In oct2019 I made a decision that I will never regret because I know I can only do it after my retirement, or even no such chance to do so in my life. I resigned from my work, carry 22kg clothes and cameras, with all my savings, and traveled to the opposite side of the world. A place where Asians rarely go - Central and South America.

Lyrics
Through all the years, I will revere
Deep in my heart, your memory
All those mischievous games we would play
My heart was torn, splintered with thorns
But every time you smiled at me
All of the pain seemed to cower and fade away
One at a time we took turns peeking through the wall
I wonder what you saw inside
So many dreams of mine had you standing next to me
And now I leave them all behind
So long my dear… I will hold onto your
Voice as I walk the road ahead
Ah… how long can I go on
All alone, without you by my side?
Spent all my time, in search of a sign
Until the day that I found you
I told you over and over again
Up in the sky, clouds drifted by
Threatening my days with pouring rain
Then you appeared and the sun came along again
Maybe I’m foolish with a soul so delicate
Easily swept up in the wind
But I believed I had a true chance at happiness
As much as anybody did
But now I’ll go… no matter how it hurts
Not knowing who I’ll hurt along the way
Ah… how long can I go on
On my own, without you here with me?
A lasting season comes
That seems to me a short blink of an eye
I hear our voices calling out
Each other’s names into the sky
Can you hear it, too?
さよなら 君の声を 抱いて歩いていく
sayonara kimi no koe wo daite aruite iku
ああ 僕のままで どこまで届くだろう
aa boku no mama de doko made todoku darou
ああ 君の声を 抱いて歩いていく
aa kimi no koe wo daite aruite iku
ああ 僕のままで どこまで届くだろう
aa boku no mama de doko made todoku darou
ああ 君の声を…
aa kimi no koe wo...
