Hi Hong Ha, Cao Dai temple has very beautiful architectural design & an interesting reliogion. The chinese are celebrating the dumpling festival on 13th June this month & will be eating dumpling [glutinous rice wrapped with bamboo leaves with (red beans, kidney beans etc & chestnuts for vegetarian version) or (pork, mushroom, dried shrimp & salted egg yolk for non-vegetarian version). We just had that last weekend. Take care. Leah

In 1968, I was a US Army jelicppter pilot based in Tay Ninh. One night, I was involved in a battle on the top of Nui Ba Den. A machine gun in the Pagoda on the mountain was firing at me and other helicopters so I tried to silence the gun, but everytime I attempted an attack, a cloud got in my way. As a result, I never fired on the gunner. God was protecting him and the Pagoda. I want to honor my adversary by placing a photograph of today's mountain Pagoda in my office at home. I would like a glossy photo about 8x10 with a teak wood frame. Please send a price quote to this address. When I was there, I thought that I would never see a building that matched the beauty of the temple in Tay Ninh city. It remains in my mind as the most beautiful structure I have ever seen. My photo interest now is of the mountain Pagoda and the brave soldier who manned the macine gun. Thank you. Ross Ivey
