Tao

This is the gate leading up to the temple. The fourth symbol is the Korean character for the Tao. Korea religion in general (with the exception of Protestantism) is very welcoming to the influences of other religions; particularly those of Confucious, Taoism, Shaminism, and slight aspects of Hindu and Catholicism.

Very informative, and beautiful pictures. I'll write more tomorrow, too tired right now. Happy first of November and belated Happy Halloween. I spent nearly the entire day recovering from last night's shenanigans. I don't think I've been that drunk in over a year. I was in a stupor, but I was still one cute pirate!

P.S. and I'll report back my thoughts once I have completed the hw assignment of watching Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama Megan Teacher. :)

I WAS A PIRATE TOO!!!

I only had a few days to come up with a costume because I didn't know it was required for teachers to dress up (the whole school celebrates the holiday for the kids)but I think it came together quite nicely.
