Jeju Island
This week, I am vacationing in Jeju Island, the largest island in Korea. It's a great place to vacation from Seoul, as flights are suprisingly cheap (~$30). Yesterday, I went to a Buddhist temple on the coast. Buddhist temples in Korea are gorgeous, and are competely open to the public. If you are interested in religion, like I am, these temples are a great place to learn about religion and culture in Korea. This particular temple was on the side of Sanbangsan mountain, and had a gorgeous ocean view.
