A Day Away from Buddhism and a Night Full of It (5/27)

A   W A L K   I N   T H E   P A R K

I N   M Y  last post, I mentioned Yurae, my host brother for the evening homestay after our mountain hike and temple visit. As you can imagine, I was quite tired after such a physically and spiritually involving day, so the evening of our homestay was far less eventful than the morning. Although I would later learn that most people went out and did things like climbing the tallest tower in the city center of Busan or visiting a bathhouse, even, my host brother and I went straight back to his family's apartment and crashed immediately.

i've never stayed in such an urban environment before
The view from Yurae's window in the morning-- we were quite a ways up, with a good many neighbors!
