Photos of Korea here and here.
    Better late than never? Some photos from my light cannon (many thanks to Primer). I took a little detour on my way to Rome to volunteer at a place called Kkottongnae. It’s a massive area in the mountains where the homeless, abandoned, and sick are welcome to stay for free, and receive treatment and whatever else they need to get back on their feet, or stay and help those even less fortunate than themselves. I spent half a month here, and the other half in Seoul and some other cities.
    It was strange going from the city to the sticks, but I feel like I had a good overview of Korea and a variety of experiences. To be honest, I was hoping for something more authentic, but apparently that kind of culture only lives on through the food (delicious…) Definetely not in the pop music. Ironically, the highlight of my trip to Korea was meeting friends from America, and it was great seeing some old faces again. It was really the people that defined my trip, and I’m glad I had the chance to see some of them before leaving for the other side of the globe.
    Thanks again to Diana, Jay, Fr Jay, John, and the family of Kkottongnae. You made Korea not suck.
