Learning about the religion experience
The field trip was very exciting because we saw many temples on the way to only one of the mosque, chinese temple and hindu temple. There was many things I didn't know about the religious trip such as in a mosque you can prey or relax there, and in a chinese temple every maybe, half and hour there is someone who is saying a preyer and someone who hits the gong. Another thing I didn't know about the hindu temple is that it is very colorful and the place is very musical when there is a preyer. The trip was very wonderful I got to experience the different types of place they prey and also see the river that connected. the first stop we went to was the mosque and I could see that the place they prey is very detailed by the patterns. Since we came at a time when there was not a lot of people it was very quiet compare to the chinese temple or hindu temple. Beside that I felt very calm inside because it was a time for muslim to relax or prey. Their was no taste but a lot of natural trees and flowers growing there. In the chinese tempe I saw that it was very red and gold and I could hear the sound of the gong as the women said a preyer to the got and burnt some incents. the smell, smelled like incents which throughout the temple and you coudn't taste anything but the burnt incent bittering up in your tongue and you open you mouth. During the Chinese temple and the mosque, lasly we went to the Hindu temple which you could see the bright colorfu color on the wall. You could hear the oud booming music and smell the breeze and the incents but there was no taste throughout the whole process. The common values that I saw between the religion hinduism and islamic is that they clean and wash thier feet before going to prey our relaxing. In al of them they are a peaceful places and physically respectful to the gods or god of the place. Also it was open except fot the mosque which they had a gate before entering. In the hinduism and buddhism religion in there templ they can go anywhere in the temple and the place smelled like incents.
