Probably can't see the real impact and steepness of the hill, but here are pictures. Up at the top is a statue of some saint, but couldn't understand the Korean.
On Wednesday when we went for English class and passed through the tunnel, we decided to take some pictures of the artwork down there. Here is one of the pieces. So does it look like I'm riding on a bus with other passengers? Cannot tell what the water is for unless the bus is under water!
The rest of the week, we were getting ready for transfers. We have 15 missionaries coming in.
Friday night on our way home from the office, I decided I needed to get my hair cut. So I walked into a beauty salon and that was quite interesting. Hand signals come in very handy when you can't speak the language. But she did a good job. Kind of short, but it will grow.
On Saturday we decided to do some more venturing around Busan. We went down this one road that has a tunnel for cars and one thin walkway for pedestrians.
On the other side we noticed a huge wooded area and decided to find out what it was. So it was the Geumgang Park. And it was beautiful.
Here's the entrance.
These are Sottai and Jang Seung (totem pole). These were set up at the entrance of the village as guardians and religious symbols of their ancestors to protect the village.
This is what most of the park looked like.
Don't know what this means. The explanation was all in Korean.
There were symbols carved in rocks along the path.
Saint of Peace
Next we went to this area. Hope you can read the inscription.
This was in the area of the burial plot.
Beautiful buildings and artwork.
Gong that signalled the burial.

And here is the actual tomb of the of the Dongnae patriots of the Imjin War.
Entrance way to the actual tomb
They also had a museum there of all types of animals. Wayne and I didn't go in because of time.
Sorry, but I had to take a picture. This is the women's bathroom in the park. That is on the floor. And yes, I had to squat over it. I thought I got away from that when I left Ghana.
It was a wonderful day. We walked about six miles. Went to bed early and slept all night!
On Sunday, we had another baptism. Cute girl and very excited to be baptized. Can't remember her name. But I will get it.
Good week. Now the fun begins for transfers.
We love you and miss you all.
