We went both to the top of theountain to visit another Buddhist Shrine
then we were able to tour the inside of the mountain were there is an
hydroelectric plant.
You could still see snow om te aki slopes in the distance. Korea is
hopefull to put tobether a bid for the 2018 Winter Games. Very cool.
I recieved the Current Event assignments from 8-1. They look great. I
would emailed each of you but didn't have time.
We visited a really neat Hospital and a paper making factory that had
a museum for the history of papermaking. It was very interesting. I
even made a piece of paper the old time way. It was nice because my
family has had four generations of people working in the paper making
industry.
Kim Chi. It is served at every meal and is disticntly Korean. Kim chi
is cabbage that has been lathered in spicy past put in a pottery jar
buried in the ground and fermented over the course of months.
People eat it straight up, put it on their rice to add some spicy
taste, or they put it in thier soups or broths to spice the drink up.
It's quite tasty. It has the same basic taste but varies a great deal.
Put it this way. The way Memphians talk and debate about the various
styles of about BBQ is the way Koreans talk about Kim Chi.
The photo is of an exhibit at agricultural museum in the city of
Gimje. It shows ancient Koreans making Kim Chi.
We visited this temple. It was chilly but beautiful. Very serene and
prayerful. U live the layout of these places. I even was able to watch
one monk pray. No pictures of that it would have been rude.
Insidethia building is the largest Buddha in Korea.
Later.
Having yet another great day.
