Montage Monday: Snake Temple (Malaysia)

// November 1st, 2010 // Malaysia, Photo of the Week

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We only had a few days on Penang, an island in Malaysia, but I knew I just had to go see the Snake Temple. There are pit vipers inside and outside of this Buddhist temple roaming freely. Supposedly, the burning incense sedates them but I don’t think I’d test that theory. An older lady, apparently lacking good judgment, decided to start poking at the snakes until a nun chastised her.

Very cool but I’m not so sure I’d be brave enough to go around so many snakes.
