Hometown Blues
Recently, our Kim song seng nim took us to her hometown for a visit. We went to her house, which is very spacious, and also has a kindergarten (her mother runs the kindergarten). After that, we went to several other places.
Keeper of the grove: woof.
Class in session: Piyin (Thailand, from a crafts programme, but in the same Korean class as me), Pele, Kim See Roo, me, Tascha, Damon, doggie.
Not Shirley's Temple: We visited a temple while in Ssongwang. The town is nestled somewhere between the mountains, and so the backdrop can be absolutely beautiful.
Stoned: At the temple, there are many flat stones piled on top of each other. Tradition dictates that you build your own pile, making a wish as you do so. If the pile falls, that dream will not come true.
Stone Temple Pilots (Eipe 2006): The entrance to the temple is guarded by several big, stone statues. It is believed that before, they are the guards, protecting the temple from evil influences like the devil and the Japs (ho hum).
Punch line: To understand this picture, you must understand that in every one of her class, Kim song seng nim hits me. "FIKRI!" she would exclaim, before motioning me over: "Come here..." PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! "Why are you late?!" It would help, I think, if I'm not late every morning... :>
Under one roof: At most temples, they allow you the chance to write messages on roof tiles. For the life of me, I can't remember why now...
Chip monk (Eipe 2006): Cuter than Joanne's squirrel.
Another temple: Different temple, same beauty.
Korean dessert: Fresh water is on tap for people to wash their faces or just to drink (it's very cooling). And why Korean dessert? Because we once had Korean dessert in a restaurant, and it was even bigger than the main course. :>
Keeper of the Kimchis: bark.
Fire man: After the temples, we went to visit a primary school (very big and impressive). Here, Damon sees me on top of the climbing rack...
ANEEYOOOO!!!: ...and the chance to relight my fire. Ho hum.
Tong seng city: The school also has a small park, with different animal statues. Here, I find my long lost 'brother'.
It was a fun day, and after that, we went back to Kim song seng nim's house to chill for a bit and watch Men In Black II (good watch on a Saturday afternoon).
Take care, and have a nice day!
