If you happen to see it again...
Look carefully and you will see a container(on the body) for you contribute.
Yes, i notice there is 2 pieces of 10k or 50k rupiah on both the thigh area of the "Rumble Bee" transformer,hehehe...


...but i didnt know i need to pay to have a photo shoot with this guy.

No wonder it kept a distance from me and the kids were pull a distance by
their parents when they show wishes to want to approach Rumble Bee,hehehe...now i know why.

Poor Rumble Bee, he should have some "human" around him with a sign board or something to show what its all about. Then they might probably make some rupiah out from this so call "show".

I pass by the Batam Uni tho, but i was there in the late noon. Hence i might probably missed the shop.

Anyway, i might probably go to this temple twice during my CNY 2020 trip. I have a sudden turn-up of 9 aunties and uncles trip on the 3rd day of CNY.

During one of my pre-CNY, ONE lonely "mango" was hanging downward from one of the mango tree there at Vihara Cipta Dharma Temple (玄天上帝庙 ) were the center of attraction.


Erm..ermm...there's every aunties there holding the mango and taking selfie with it,hehehe...

As for Hock An Kiong Temple (福安宫), its the filial piety marble stone...


...and the 2D door craving that were the key attraction of the temple.


They were hand made by craft man employed in China, base on conversation between aunties and the temple caretaker. May share a little more details once i sort out the photos and details when time allows.

* all photos above were taken during my pre-cny Batam trip.
