 The buddhist statue by MEdelmann
Each temple has its Buddha statue where the people come and pray. Seonunsa is no ecept!
Believe it or not, but the most Koreans are christians! They are catholic or protestants. I have never seen so many churches than in Seoul!
And there are also other religions in Korea, because they "imported" a lot of special clerks which they need in ther special industries. So you can also find Hindus, muslimes and other religions there.

 Seonunsa by MEdelmann
Pilgrims come here and pray for themselves and their relatives. Seonunsa temple is a very good example how Koreans temples built. Leave a Comment

 Farm house by MEdelmann
This is a traditional farm house in Korea. It is a very simple building and the whole family lives in the house.
An essential part of the house is "Changdeokdae", a special place (watch my local customs tips to find the explaination).
Click on the pictures to the all the interesting details of the house and the other things.

 Seonunsa by MEdelmann
Make shure that you have a good guide with you when you want to explore the temples! Most of them are located very hidden somewhere in the mountains so that you need a local which brings you there ....
But if you want to go alone I recommend you to learn some korean. English is less spoken outside of Seoul and if you cant read the letters you will gone lost very easy!
This is another picture of Seonunsa temple.

 Really! it was this big! by Ladebackchic
Take the public bus down to Kyung-ju, in the southeast corner of Korea, stop in at the tourist booth and ask for the local fishing spots.
What you'll find are easy-chairs, canopy's and stocked (though large) fish ponds to catch as many fish as you can, but can't keep.)
The owners will direct you on how to use their reel-less rods and to construct the meal balls used for bait.
After you've finished hooking all but the fish, he'll treat you to a coffee and take your photos to display on his webpage. Leave a Comment

The Pukhan (North Han) River between Chuch'on and Kapyeong is a beautiful ride along a winding stream curving its way between the adjacent mountains. During the Korean War, battles were intense along this natural boundary. Waterfalls and tourist villages are ideal spots nearer the Chuch'on terminus. As the water deepens central channel, the earth level exposed is of different colors so the river appears striped (foto 5). Leave a Comment

Honestly, if you get to Korea, you should spend at least one day walking aimlessly in the rural farm areas.
Get away from the busy chaos of the cities, and view the side of Korea that not everyone knows of. That would be the quiet, secluded, small little rice field farmers in the mountains or the small fishing villages along the rocky coasts.

One particular place we go to is called U-Para. It is near Songnae Station of Seoul Line 1 and on the 8th floor of the building called "toona".
U-Para has virtually everything you need to get entertained... except for porn. Some of the highlites are: bowling lanes, pool tables, shooting range, arcade, and my personal favourite, gold fish fishing. It also has massage chairs, shower room, and tanning beds. The best part of this is they're open 24/7 (meaning: 11am to 6am). For 8,000 Won ($10CAN), you could stay there for as long as you want and do anything you want at no extra cost.
