We camped out near a temple. There is a beautiful creek and there were many people frolicking in the river. We had to cross the river to set up our tent, IT WAS COLD. We were woken up on Thursday morning by the mad screams of an old lady (ajumma) giving hell to some young campers who had set their tent up in front of hers. I didn't think people would get upset about that, being Korea and all! When we came out of the tent, we found that some one had parked in front of our tent.
People playing and picnicking on the river.
Suknam-sa is the name of this temple. It happens to be the only temple in Korea where there are only female monks. It is also one of the only temples where a temple stay is not allowed. It is so beautiful. Set right in between the mountains and a river. This temple also houses one of the oldest pagodas in Korea. You can see the pagoda in the picture.
Corn on the cob is a common snack in Korea. A monk gave us as a treat. It tasted kinda gross, sort like more rice.
The river that winds through the temple grounds.
