This was really a good blog!!!
Hi Laura loora, Although you had told us some parts of these travels, I really enjoyed the detail of this blog and learning about Buddhism. Always glad you try to get the max out of wherever you go so you won't have regrets about what you might have done. Not many people are like that. I do hope before you go home you feel like you understand more than 1% of the Korean you hear. It is just so valuable to know other languages. My only other one is medical language which really is not too too hard, but I would have loved to have some other foreign ones.
