April 25 ' 11 Busan Trip - Shopping

Sister Jennings took me to a district where they have all sorts of fabrics, etc. Here is ONE of the stores that just sold clothing for monks. Happy Buddha!

Sister Jennings and Sister Bagley at the store that sells all sorts of things for the temples.

He looks happy too!

Looking at beads. Look at the lanterns - they are for Buddha's birthday which is May 10th.

Gold everywhere!



Various monk figures ...



These are the guards that protect the temple - they are placed at the gates.



Drums ...

Lotus position ...

Look at this chair!


I would have never ventured into this store but Sister Jennings is fearless! So interesting!

Wow- those pictures are amazing. The Japanese are so artistic and detailed in their work. I had to laugh at the smiling Buddah. It reminded me of the one Dad had in his office while we were growing up and you had to rub his tummy without laughing. :) You are having some really cool adventures!
