   Magnificent! Did you get a picture of the whole building, though? I’d like to see that. (I’m just being lazy here…I suppose a 30-second search would find a pic on the Web.)

   What’s the building reflected in the door windows (nice Korean-Western blend there, by the way, like the house in Daejeon)? The rectory?

   Okay, I found some more pictures here: http://www.tourguide.co.kr/loc.....LTCATH0002

   (For this disinclined to navigate through Korean-language web pages to see photos, check out this page: http://www.ganghwaro.com/tour2/sungonghwea0.htm)

   The front gate is interesting, too…a cross, but done in the style of a traditional t’aegŭk, as one finds on some other old front gates.

   It’s called the 강화 성공회 성당…does that mean it’s a cathedral (성당), or do the Anglicans call all their churches 성당 in Korean?

   I know I’m just talking to myself here, since this post has nothing to do with hookers or NK belligerence or other fun stuff.

   You know Robert, I found one site that actually has pictures and ambient recordings of environments (places) and such a thing would be nice to go with some of these pictures.

   I also caught the postive review of music on Gangwha at Korea.net.

   I noticed the quality resolution of his photos from the Marmot ‘06 tour through Honam and Hosŏ.

    Can anyone translate the characters?

    Without consulting a dictionary (no time right now),
    “Three (something) one body, God ten-thousand …”
    (”God” is composed of the fifth and sixth characters: “Heavenly Lord.”)
