buddah buddah
today i climbed palgong mountain (palgongsan) just outside of daegu with niki, sunny, and sunny's friend who spoke no english and said that my korean pronunciation is very good. :) it was so amazing. we hiked, seriously, 2 km up a mountain with grandmas and little kids alike to a buddist temple, got down on our knees and prayed a bit, then had a free lunch at the eatery thing. it was awesome! there were schwastikas everywhere, and burning inscence and candles, and eight bajillion koreans, and two white girls named niki and erin. it was fascinating, stupendous, superiffic.
i'm betting that if christian devotion required hiking up a mountain once a week and sharing a conservative vegetarian meal for lunch that americans wouldn't have such health issues. that being said, my legs hurt. :)

I can't imagine making a pilgrimage up a mountain once a week. Then again, I'm one of those non-religious types who doesn't quite get the whole pilgrimage thing anyhow.
It looks like a very nic hike though. And free lunch at the top! Hard to beat that. :)
hey sonya! the amerihottie is niki, my fellow engrish teacher.
and yeah jen, i'll walk anywhere if the food is free. :)
I have questions. None of them have anything to do with you and could probably be answered by the Korean Board of Tourism. I will not bother you any longer, today, except to say http://jerkprunes.blogspot.com
