Here I am striking poses, using a buddhist temple as the backdrop...my friend Janaki's idea.
Me, Janaki, Rohit, and Jy taking a short rest... it was great to see all my friends.
A view of the valley below the temple...
This man gave us a demonstration of the traditional pottery that was made during the Silla Dynasty which reigned from approximately 650 AD to 900 AD.
A Korean water fountain... everything is communal in this country.
The Gyeongju tombs from the Silla Dynasty; people were buried beneath the large mounds.
When I got back to Jeju tonight, my host father and sisters took me out to a great seafood dinner. It was a little messy, but really good. The dinner consisted of many different kinds of seafood served on one plate with red hot sauce which you can see in the middle of the picture. We had to wear one plastic glove in order to hold the crab and scoop the insides out with a small fork. There was shrimp, squid, sea snails, crab, and mussels. At the end of the meal they bring white rice and cook it in a skillet at the table (there's a grill on the table), they mix in what is left of the sauce and seafood too. It was delicious!
