Is nothing sacred?

What kind of sick, twisted world do we live in when even GNP spokesperson Chun Yu-ok has a blog.

    It’s a pretty nice-looking blog, though.

    Marmot, what temple is that in your masthead? It’s not Buseoksa in Gyeongbuk, is itwith Muryang Sujeon on the right?

    By Jove, it is, isn’t it!?

    I recognized the view from the top immediately…something about that temple is so distinctive (well, not least the way orientation of the Buddha (Maitreya? I don’t recall) inside the ??´??‰?????? (which is called such and not ?Œ€??…???)).

    Indeed, you are right — one of my favorite temples in Korea. Great area, too.

    However, the banner was a little too wintery, so I’ve switched it for a pic of the gingko trees and the Gyeongbok Palace wall along Samcheongdong-gil. Much more of an autumn feel.

    Yes, it’s one of my favourite parts of the country, too.

    “Much more of an autumn feel”: not enough ??¨?’?, though!

    …Or you need to expand that shot to show the ajummas sifting through the fallen leaves for gingko nuts….
