Seoul, Day 3


I really liked this yellow wall, but you can see that McDonald's is also 30 meters ahead...


The red lanterns on the ceiling inside were lit and really pretty. I didn't feel comfortable/like I should take photos inside while people were worshipping so there aren't any photos of inside the temple.


I always find the artwork interesting so there are several door-panel-photos.


I can never decide if I like it more when there is a solid block of color or a bunch of colors mixed together. I really like the all-white lanterns though.


This is what the temple looks like from above with all of the lanterns.


Looking up at the gate.


I was in the Buddhism Supplies district (as indicated on the map).


A street near our hotel in Insadong. Later in the day this place was packed with people when Anna & I went out in the afternoon.


Hello, Kitty looks more Japanese to me here than Korean but that doesn't seem right.


"Starbucks Coffee." I had never seen a Starbucks here that just had "Starbucks" written in Hangul and not English.


Tapgol park again but the gates were closed this morning so I had to peek through the fence.


Fraser Suites (our hotel).


Our hotel.


I went out early to take pictures around Seoul this morning. I didn't stray too far and wanted to go to a temple specifically for the Buddha's birthday decorations. They were nice but I remember being more impressed at the temple I went to in Busan with my mom in 2004.
