…Ui dong. Ahem.
Today we went to the other side of the mountain and visited the lovely Doseon Buddhist Temple. I even took some pictures, although I didn’t realize just how thick the yellow dust was until I viewed them at home later. And to think I gave up smoking for the good of my lungs. Ah well.
The stairway to…Doseon. Not as strenuous as our normal Bukhansan hike, but I had worked up a pretty good sweat by the time we made it to the top…
Lots of people worshiping at the various alters around the temple grounds…
But the first thing Jee Yeun wanted to do was to partake in the free lunch. I had brought along some cheese and apples and ate simply as seemed befitting to the surroundings. Plus the offering didn’t appear all that appetizing…or sanitary.
With a full belly (although not by any means Buddha-esque) Jee Yeun offered up her thanks for the blessings of life…
…numerous times in numerous places…
…even said a prayer for me she says…
“What the hell? I learn the Korean alphabet and now they are writing shit in Chinese!
It was good hike and a nice change of pace. I reckon I’ll be back…
