| Haeinsa Temple is the home of the Tripitaka Koreana, a set of 80,000 woodblocks, each about a foot tall and 2 feet long, which contain Buddhist scriptures. If that and the fact that they were all carved in reverse by hand aren't amazing enough, they are also 750 years old and have survived 2 invasions! |

| Our Yeogwan (Hotel) room. Thats right, there are no beds. The heated floor was comfy though. |
| Dave's rock, near the peak of Mt. Gaya, 1430m. Dave just had to climb it and get a picture... He thought it looked like something out of a storybook:) Look carefully, he's on top of it. |
| The Summit of Gaya! These crazy fellas greeted us with Soju (Korean alcohol, kind of like vodka) and squid snacks Such is to be expected in Korea:) |
| The dragon guardposts at Haeinsa temple. Ancient Asian sculpture and architecture never ceases to amaze. |
