I saw this young girl dressed in Hanbok, a traditional Korean style of dress, outside the Seoul National Museum.

Travel magazine project

This is my project tutorial group. We made a travel magazine for our project.

Anapji

These pictures were taken at Anapji, which was a resort area for the nobility of the Silla kingdom about 1300 years ago. It was recently rediscovered and restored. Artifacts from this site include many everyday objects, in contrast to the material usually found in burial sites.

Playing Yuk

Here's my homeroom class when we were playing Yuk, a traditional Korean game.

GEV Campus

Here's our school, the Gyeongju English Village campus, part of the Catholic University of Daegu. The first two pictures show the adminstration building, which also holds the classrooms.



The dormitories, students on the left, staff on the right.


The cafeteria serves meals during the week, but teachers and students alike must fend for themselves on the weekends.

Trip to Bulguksa

Here the fall 2006 university semester has started, and this is my homeroom class. We occasionally go out on field trips. Here we are at a famous temple nearby called Bulguksa.





These are two famous pagodas called Dabotab (right), which has an unusual architecture, and Seokgatap (left), which has a more conventional style. Dabotap represents the Dabo Buddha, who represents the objective truth. Seokgatap represents the Sakyamuni Buddha, who represents the subjective wisdom to realize this truth. The contrasting complexity and simplicity of their designs represents earthly versus spirtual existence, and the dual nature of the Buddha's contemplation.
