Anthony and his family are moving to Seoul in a month, and Anthony's father asked if he could serve as a Busan tour guide for the American travellers. Mary's boyfriend, Jeon, made the drive in from where he works, and we all meet up at a Buddhist Temple on the sea, the Headong Yong Gung Temple.
You are first greeted with statues of the Chinese zodiac, and Mary and visit our fellow zodiac animal, the goat. Apparently this means we're http://www.chinesezodiac.com/goat.php
We, along with swarms of other people, head down the series of stairs to the Temple.
It's a beautiful temple in a beautiful setting.
Anthony and his father.
Anthony also joins in a picture of Mary and Jeon.
A picture of a glass-fronted display case of old artefacts and the reflected images.
Hard to pass up a picture with two big gold pigs and their big gold bums.
Mary and Anthony chilling with the pigs.
Anthony's dad takes us out for a beautiful traditional Korean lunch. Unfortunately Jeon's boss called him back to work (on a Sunday! and after making him work on Saturday!) so we don't get much time to spend with him. Mary knows of a pick-up frisbee game happening later that day, and Arthur and I are super stoked to be able to play some ultimate. We top it all off with a trip to Spaland, a crazy extensive spa with hot water baths, saunas, yoga areas, eateries, massages, etc. With entry costing something like US$14, we may have to make a return trip...
Big midwestern smiles in eager anticipation of our spa visit.
