Passing by St. Sophia Cathedral I personally took this photo when we went for a quick visit to St. Sophia Cathedral in Harbin, China way back in 2019. I tried to be creative with my shot but I’m not sure if it’s a yay or a nay! Lol! Just to give a brief history, our tour guide mentioned that this church was build in the 1900’s and has adopted a Russian Style Architecture. There was an attempt before to destroy it due to some cultural revolution, but it has survived and the government and some private individuals have made efforts to facilitate its restoration. I wasn’t able to take a full photo of the cathedral because there were too many people at the bottom. We wanted to go inside and take a look but unfortunately, we were running out of time and our bus only stopped by to take photos of the exterior. There were many street vendors outside, much like the churches in our home country before the pandemic. I remember clearly that we bought some roasted hazelnuts from an elderly woman here. What do you guys miss buying from church vendors? #church #stsophiacathedral #harbinchina #myownphoto #originalcontent #katsphotography #Photography

Buti na lang di tinuloy ang pag demolish sa cathedral na yan. Maganda pa naman. Dapat pag historical structures talaga pinepreserve. Ang namiss ko naman bilhin sa labas ng simbahan yung cotton candy. Tapos pag uwi sa bahay tatadtarin pa ng powdered milk hihi.
Same sis!! Yan din madalas namin bilhin noon. Tapos nung panahon ko (shucks, kala mo ang ganda na hahaha!), di pa uso yung powdered milk na nilalagay sa cotton candy so plain lang. Ngayon nakikita ko sa nagbebenta ng cotton candy sa streets, nilalagyan na nga nila ng powdered milk. Buti may nakaisip nun! Bagay na bagay! Favorite ko yung powdered milk sa ice scramble eh! Hahaha!
Naku yan din haha. Ang sarap din sa scramble yung tadtad ng powdered milk hihi tapos may crunch at candy sprinkles din hihi.
