A few more pictures

Here are a few more pictures. More to come.


This one is Dad standing by a coy pond. This is at a shrine down the road from where I live.









This is some Korean guys playing the traditional Chinese/Korean checkers at the shrine/park. There were about three different groups of these men. Like a tournament sort of.







This is Dad standing at the top of the shrine. Quite a view, really, but this is only part of the city--maybe part of Dongnae and Seomyeong. The city is very spread out and large.









This is Dad and I standing in front of one of the buildings of the shrine. This one is to commemorate some women who threw roof tiles on the Japanese soldiers during a battle in the 1600s. Very interesting. They died in the battle, but their bravery and ingenuity lives on.




This is Dad standing at the foot of the shrine. This picture shows two things: one, the scenic and wooded hills all around Busan, and two, Dad looking like he may fly off to save the world. Miss you, Dad.





This last picture shows a typical shop on "Market Street," as we Westerners call it. Notice the sign that says, "Fashion Mall." This picture does not show the woman in her apartment at the back of the store watching television on a small cushion and eating noodles.
