On the field trip to Chinatown, we visited three places of worship, the Mosque, the Hindu Temple and the Chinese Temple. All three were similar but also different. Something that all the places of worship have in common is that they all have symbols and Gods that they worship. They all have monuments that they show their culture and religion. However, they worship their Gods in different ways. In the Mosque, people have a time where they all gather and pray together and when it is not that time, barely anyone was there. But, in the Chinese Temple, they come in at anytime and pray, buy joss paper, and burn incense by themselves. In the Hindu Temple, some people were there and they left offerings and prayed to he Gods. But when a time came, there were people who came and played music as a form of worship for the Gods. So the three places we visited all had Gods and Symbols to represent their religion but their form of worship and what they gave to the Gods were quite different.

I though the most interesting place of worship we visited on our Field Trip was the Hindu Temple. I think the Hindu Temple was the most interesting, for me, because it was very colorful and there were lots of different statues and paintings of Gods with a story behind each of them. I also found the prayer rooms in the Hindu Temple interesting.
