Pete and I with a drink, of course. A Buddhist monk in the internet cafe and outside the cafe a Buddhist temple. Totally different in style from the temples in Japan. And I think that the style of Buddhism practiced here is also different. For example there's the wearing of the robes, which doesn't happen in Japan. Also apparently the monks are strict vegetarians and don't marry. Both of which they do in Japan.
