It was raining today, but we decided to go out sightseeing anyway. We're in a very historical city; it's also very religiously and ethnically diverse.

We saw Hindu temples.

Buddhist temples,

where people light gigantic incense sticks

and let birds go free after they pray.
The diversity makes for a very colorful city with lots for a sightseer to discover. The literal colors are also a pleasant change--they give the city character and aren't garish like those I'm used to seeing elsewhere.
I give a thumbs-up to Georgetown. :)
