Tuesday, Seoul
The last two days have been very different in many ways: exciting &
disappointing being the extremes.
On Monday, before we checked out of the beautiful Hotel Kensington, we
took a cablecar to the top of Seolak Mountain – incredible views of
the area.
Next we drove to NakSan Sah Temple, where we were scheduled for an
overnight temple stay. Dinner was eaten with a monk and the rigors of
the decorum of the meal were very intense. We got up at 3:30 am and
attended the Buddhist prayer service before breakfast. It was a very
disappointing experience however because our monk guide preferred to
talk about himself more than the temple. Our group leaders were not
happy.
Now I am back in Seoul at the Palace Hotel. We went shopping, had a
wonderful Western dinner, and saw the musical, Nanta.
Tomorrow I go to Lotte World before flying home.
