Korean Culture Day





Today (Saturday May 30) there were no business visits, only excursions to historic sites in the Kyungu area. We went to two beautiful and ancient Buddist temples, to a royal burial mound from the Silla dynasty (100 - 300 AD) and to a huge museum that housed a fantastic collection of Buddist art and historic artifacts. A traditional Korean lunch was part of the experience as well. The highlight of lunch was that we were served two different kinds of kimchi. I thought there was only one bad version - now I know there are at least two. I thought about asking if there were still more varieties of kimchi but I decided the risk of having more brought to the table outweighed the need to satisfy my curiosity!
