JUMPing around Korea!



Today we went out to see a palace....and it was beautiful. I have never seen something like that and in such detail. Our guide Cindy was excellent in telling us everything there was to know about this palace. I learned different things such as only the palace and Buddhi temples are allowed to be painted that many colors, the meaning behind all the dragons, and other little facts. This place is so beautiful and pictures would do it no justice. There is just something about being there and learning all these different things that just opens your mind to the options and choices that you have and the teaches you to take all the opportunities that are afforded to you. It didn't even seem like we were learning, we were more soaking it all in! After the the palace we went to lunch where we were served Be-be-Boop....i hope I did some justice to the name...however it is a hot stone bowl with rice and meat and vegetables and on top lies a raw egg. As you begin stirring this concoction, the egg begins to cook against the hot bowl and you mix some chili paste and......voila! a great meal! After lunch we did a little shopping on our way to a performance called JUMP!, which was a comedy martial arts performance which much to my surprise turned out to be hilarious! I love it! I recommend it to anyone visiting Korea! till tomorrow.....
