Beautiful Korea Cholla-Namdo...(May 2010)

I have posted separate blogs on some, but Korea's Cholla-Namdo was beautiful overall. Here are some additional photos.

[Kris in front of stone sign with a well groomed tree in the background. The sign says "the spirit of Yudal mountain." It is in Mokpo City where I was born. --- something like this is all over the places.]

[Kris in front of the statue of 'Admiral Yi Soon-shin' who legendarily defeated the Japanese ships in all battles (23) during a war, called "Imjinweran." He is known to be the most respected admiral in the world's naval history. He also invented the "Turtle war ship" that was invincible to the Japanese. - Mt. Yudal, Mokpo]

[Pine trees growing on rocks. This beautiful scene is not even counted as one of the sites to have to see. - Ttanggeut maul, Haenam]

[It means "Like in the beginning." This phrase profoundly states the suggested attitude for everything we do. The description says that we should begin each day newly with an attitude like we are doing it for the first time. Like a baby bird facing the sky for the first time and a new sprout that is stepping up on the soil for the first time, even when the sun is setting, like in the morning, like in the spiring.]

[Kris and me at Sebang Nakjo. This place is known to have a beautiful sunset, but due to schedule we could not see it. In the bbackground, there were many beautiful islets. Reportedly, there are 1,400 islands/islets in the southern and western seas of Korea. Sebang, Jindo.]
