Buddha's lap,
 a pigeon lands: 
  a monk shoos
 the bird away,
 but Buddha didn't mind.

Said to be the oldest European building east of India, these hollowed out ruins represent one of the oldest Christian Churches in Southeast Asia.
This statue of St. Francis Xavier stands in front of St. Paul’s Church. Francis Xavier did have his right hand amputated posthumously, and many like to tell the story that the statue’s hand was sheared off by lightning in an act of divine reckoning (though more likely the movers dropped the statue and the hand broke off. At any rate, that’s why they never got around to having it fixed.)
