August is suposed to be a holiday month, so i decided to make it a holiday. August 12th i took the local train from Tokoy to Hiroshima (16 hours) where i spent the nigth, the next day i took the local train to shimonoseki (5 hours) where i jumped on the ferry to South-Korea.

So now and than there are these huge similar and ugly appartment towers areas on a small space which make [View Full Entry]

The folowing day i took the early bus to Geongju, said to be the kyoto of Korea. I had to agree with that, the city hosted some great temples and palaces. The difference with the japanese temples/ shrines is that the Korean ones are smaller, but much more colourfull. I was amazed by the beautifull painting of animals and gods. Half the day i visited some temples before going by bus to Daegu, the third largest citie in Korea. Wel known about its famous herbal medicine market, here you find the fairytale powerdrinks such as reindeer horns, strange leafs, ginseng roots, [View Full Entry]
