Advantages: Might learn something about Buddhism Disadvantages: Written in dialect, hard to read
I bought this book a couple of months ago after reading a positive review in a magazine. However, there was something slightly important that the review left out. But first;
'Buddha Da tells the endearing story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process'
So all sounds good, I was interested in this because I recently studied the Dalai Lama and found Buddhism and everything surrounding the DL fascinating. The book arrived, nice looking cover, 344 pages so not too long, then I read the first page.
Now, I read A LOT - but this totally threw me. The book is written in Galswegian dialect, here's an example;
"He'd dae anythin for a laugh so he wid; went doon the shops wi a perra knickers on his heid, tellt ...
Advantages: Pretty scenery, shaded areas Disadvantages: Need to take a tour to see it really
Myself and my girlfriend visited the Magic Buddha Garden whilst in Thailand on October 2007.
We visited this attraction as fair of a Jungle Tour, where we visited several attractions in one day while travelling round the island and we paid £20 each for this trip which we thought was very reasonable. Some of the roads you need to travel on to get to this attraction are very bumpy so I would assume that you will need to hire a 4 x 4 vehicle if you are wishing to travel here without a tour. This attraction is marked on all the tourist maps so it would be easy to find.
Inside The Garden
The Buddha Garden is set within a valley and inside you will find statues of mythical creatures, statues of spirits and of course, Buddha statues. There is a waterfall which runs through the middle of the Buddha Garden and lots of trees and vegetation ...
Advantages: Unique taste, absolutely delicious Disadvantages: Only available in Tesco
Every now and then, I like to treat myself to some of the freshly baked bread from my local Tesco's bakery. One of my favorite types is Tiger Bread.
Why Is It Called Tiger Bread?
This bread is referred to as Tiger bread because of the pattern which develops across the top of the bread during the baking process. This is achieved by spreading rice paste and sesame oil on the top of the bread before it is baked. Then, while the bread is baking, the paste dries and cracks which creates stripes across the top of the bread, similar in look and colour to the stripes of a Tiger, hence the name Tiger Bread.
Packaging
Tiger bread comes pre-packed in a transparent plastic-type wrapping, with a label giving a description of the item and the weight. The packaging is very thin and quite flimsy so often it can break as the crusty bread ...
