Korean Temples!

A wonderful Korean 'Babbling Brook'...
The 'Heaven Hand' done right....in a place it should be done- in front of a Korean tenple!!
Sheena + Eva = SHEVA!
One of the many great mountain peaks that surrounded me.
Inside a buddist temple, the ceiling filled with prayers the walls filled with candles and many Buddhas all around! This one was special as it was a women's only monestary!

Annyong Hasesyo!

I went on a very refreshing adventure this past weekend to one of the many mountain sites around Daejeon. It is a very popular site, but at the same time the nature looks untouched and very green and lovely! I almost felt at home in the woods, with mountains surrounding me and Temples every kilometer! It made me really appreaciate where I am and how lucky I am to be on such an adventure to get to experience so much! During the week with all the teaching and training I don't really get a chance to stop and slow down and think about why I am here, but on the weekends visiting many places it always reminds me that I am in a very different, but very grand place! There is still so much for me to see and learn here!!

On days when I am homesick I think about what I would miss if I was NOT here, how different my life would be, and for the moment I would not want to be anywhere else in the world BUT here! I get to experienece and make a piece of history! I am literally a pioneer of ITF TaeKwon-Do here, and although sometimes the road gets tough I must keep going and venturing forth into the unknown! Besides, at the end of the day I still have a smile on my face-and that's all that really matters!

Lots of gratitude to all of you who keep reading my blog!

I will make sure to keep up all my adventures for you all!
