In a previous post about visiting Xiamen, I wondered about women throwing blocks on the ground at a monastery. Lek explained that it's part of the fortune telling process. As you can see in the video, I shake the container of sticks until one comes out. Then I drop the two blocks that have a flat side and a round side to confirm that I have selected the correct stick. The first time I tried this, both blocks fell flat so I had to start the entire process over again with the shaking of the sticks. In the video I am overly excited at the end because the blocks fell in a way that I didn’t have to start over. The stick has a number on it, and then we walked over to a wall with all the fortunes listed. Lek had to translate mine, and she said that they were written as a poem. She said that if I was asking about kids, I will have a boy. It also said that my soul mate is taking his time finding me, but he will come. It didn’t say anything about my career.
