Thanks, Ted - Well, they told me that one of the amazing things about this rat temple was there was absolutely no smell of rats whatsoever and that the number of rats remained the same all the time in spite of natural births and deaths. ;-) It really and truly did not smell like what I thought it would. (I was holding my breath most of the time) but we did have to take off our shoes and walk in sock feet (those socks have been incinerated) BUT most of the devout were walking barefoot so the rats could climb on their feet. It's considered even better if you get rat saliva on you and I do have photos of a mother smearing rat saliva on her child's face, but, unless you knew what was going on, you couldn't tell from the photo :-( What is strange to me is that whenever I work on these photos, I smell rats!! Amazing what the power of suggestion can do. I'm almost finished with the rat temple, thank goodness. My appetite has been off for a couple of days!! Tina
