Another Temple

After the cheery blossom festival, the bus took us to antoher city about 40 miles away, to visit a temple. The great thing about this temple was that it was not on a giant mountain! Instead, it was just on a bit of a gentle slope.

Funny story here. Victoria and I were going up the walk to the temple, when Victoria needed to use the bathroom. There were no signs around. There was an information booth. We asked the woman inside where the bathroom was. She asked Victoria "is it an emergency?" To which Victoria replied "Well, I could pee my pants." It was the funniest thing that a Korean has ever asked any of us, and the best response from Victoria ever.

Well, later the information woman took us on a tour of the temple. She was from Vietnam and spoke perfect English. It was a great little tour. The woman also on the way down from the temple was telling us how much she doesnt' like her co-workers and the character flaws of Koreans. It was funny to hear it from someone else!

So, here are some pics of the temple. I was not allowed to photograph the big Buddha statues, so you'll have to imagine a giant gold Buddha on your own.

This is one of the numerous gates that are at every temple.
