    Having been raised in America, I have a thing for seeing anything that’s being touted as “world’s biggest [insert object here].” So when I was in Hong Kong, I just had to go see the Tian Tan Buddha, aka the Po Lin Buddha (it is part of the Po Lin monastery), aka…The Big Buddha! It’s the world’s biggest outdoor bronze seated Buddha. That’s a bit specific, but not more so than the world’s biggest ball of twine, for example.
