Day 1

First day in Korea was a busy one! My host lives with her sister and nefews way up the side of the mountain. It's the opposite of the states- the higher you go the cheaper the housing! No one wants to live up high because it's too much of a pain to walk up the hill! Most people don't drive, and the bus doesn't come this far up, so living this high means you have to climb some STEEP hills, and carry everything with you. But it makes for some GREAT views! After a breakfast of rice soup, we headed off for yanghee's family's temple, which is in her parent's home town, which is about an hour away by subway and then bus. On the way to the train station, we did a little sight seeing around busan. The trip out there was great because we sat at the front of the bus so it was some great views of the landscapes. The temple itself was amazing, SO much detail! the time and effort to create something like this is mind blowing.
