27th Birthday Bash!

My birthday was a blast this year.

We had dinner and then we went by our favorite "drink in a bag."
One of the employees wanted to "dance" for me because it was my birthday!

Everyday I'm Shufflun...

After that we headed to a photo booth/norae bang (karaoke) shop.

Then we headed over to MF Bar!

Signing my b-day shirt.

 Love this!

 B-day cake, yum.

Right before the "magic" show.

The rest of the photos are by my friend, Hyun Ki Shin.

Awww feeding Gill some cake. ;)

Rocking my b-day present from Hyun Ki.

It's a shirt to support Japan.

My fellow Montanan, Jesse! 

It was a great time!

Geumsansa Temple Stay

April has been flying by in a whirl wind of adventure...
My time is coming to an end here in Korea and it's ending on a high note. :)
Here are some of my favorite photos from my temple stay at Geumsansa.
This temple has been around for 1411 years...

The process of making a lotus lantern teaches you patience. 

 This temple is over 500 years old.

 My lantern was first...

 Our Monk "Stone Head."

 Buddhist Breakfast Ceremony.

Prayer beads. I bowed 108 times to make this.

All in all, I highly recommend that everyone goes on a temple stay if you are in Korea.

I have a new appreciation for Buddhist and Korean culture.
