I decided to try a new method for picking a new place to highlight today...random pick without looking. And since it's Friday, the fact that this place is one I wouldn't have thought of is a great way to celebrate the weekend being here! Too bad I'll be stuck in class most of the weekend, but still...here we go:
The Shwedagon Pagoda!
Completely sheathed in gold and sits on a 14 acre complex. Tradition says you must walk clockwise as you pass columns, spires, and other artifacts on your way by. The top of the spire holds a golden orb containing 4350 diamonds with a 76 carat on the tip.
