You can see the ceiling above the Buddha is covered with small paper prayer requests attached to the pink lanterns.
Smaller Buddhas around the lake below the head.
Wawoojongsa Temple in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Our guide told us that this is the youngest temple in Korea, around 40 years old. It was built with the purpose of prayers for a future happy reunification of Korea. Everywhere in this beautiful area were candles, papers and tiles to purchase and leave behind a personal prayer.
More greens cooked in many way.
The bowl in to front of this picture contains sweet potato and some kind of fish. Behind is is plain tofu bean curd, behind that crab parts, boiled and chopped up. Next to the crab is lettuce leaves to put the fatty bacon on and spread chili paste on that and eat it. The gentleman in the picture brought his own food having been on tours around the area. Notice the american hotdog in his hand
MMMM Kimchi! At least I know what that is. I will get better with the chop sticks!

After the pot shop we went to a local roadside restaurant for a "yummy" authentic Korean lunch. You can see how happy Mike looks to partake in the many unknown foods put before us. Our tour guide was not much help with identification. To the left in front of Mike is bowl with some kind of turnip. The next bowl looks like Kimchi. Hot red pepper is the key to overcoming the fishy undertones.
Mike shopping for our first Kimchi pot. He really does enjoy Kimchi, we may have to use the pot when we return stateside.
