Flag of Korea Rep.  ,
Sunday, May 7, 2006

So it was Sunday and we had nothing much to do. So we took Scott, our bikes, gave them a good shake and one winding mountain path later we arrived at this strange site.

A random pagoda, a deserted school and a giant swinging rope. Think of all the jokes Scott qwipped on this adventure!

No bike yet for Scott so he was a back seat rider as we headed on a trip along the coast. We wanted to show him alittle beyond Changwon, and how lucky he was to get to Korea when it had finally turned green.

I am so thankful for the spring time, as it hit Korea hard with a riot of green. The browny, everygreen hills are now mighty mountain in ever shade of green you can think of. Korea is an impossible mix of tech and anchient past as kids wonder with their ears pressed to celphones, some how being able to ignore the colour explosions all round them.

The elders work hard on the landscape throughout the city, and gardens are turning this modern city back a couple of centuries. With the still tile slanted roofs, temples and pagodas it is hard to hide behind their great cities. Korean in achient after all.
