Cannot live without a dream!


This pretty much says it all.






...other fun photos from a public sculpture garden in Chonan

























Korean women LOVE their accessories!





And this guy is literally 'hanging out'.


fun stuff.

The most amazing Buddha yet!


I had heard there was a lovely Buddhist temple in the city of Chonan, which is not that far from me, so fellow teacher Mary and I set out to see it. When you arrive at the bus station in Chonan you are greeted by this .......... !! Hey - they're very proud of their walnuts, OK?















  • The temple is pretty high up on a mountain and set back. I didn't COUNT these stairs, I FELT them!!









  • It was a beautiful spring day and trees were in bloom.














And then you come to the clearing...................... and there he is, in all his glory. Such a beautiful site.




















And inside the temple is incredibly beautiful as well...................











...... more intricate carvings then I've seen anywhere else!



























And after the temple, we hung out in the sculpture garden I shared with you already followed by some great food at a very Western restaurant called VIPs. It was a good day.

big love to all
