Charred

Went for a day trip to Perfume Pagoda on the last weekend.It took 2hr of bus ride,1hr of boat ride and 2hr of hike to get there.I got myself charred and touches a few suppose to cleanse all the problem stone,end up(absorbing every problem on the stone) the next day everything went upside down. Maybe it was meant for Vietnamese not foreigner.

Don't touch anything next time.
