Korean History Museum

So I'll spare you the my abstract views on art...but I will show you some great pieces I saw at the Korean History Museum. What pictures you WON'T see, are what happened AFTER the day at the museum. For some reason, every time James, Bravo, and I go out to explore the city, we always find ourselves in the wrong part of town. This means hookers and trannies. I think these were predetermined destinations...ha, I'm kidding Mom.


I loved these shrines to Buddha. I also learned that every Buddha statue shows a different hand sign and they all mean different things. Buddha sign language. Think limited but limitless. Ohhhh snap.
These 2 pictures above are of a pagoda. It was 13 eaves tall I believe. It was very old and if I wasn't using my camera phone to take photos, you would see the extra detail in the carvings. Pagoda's are common in a lot of Asian countries. They're usually close to temples. This one was moved indoors for historical purposes. Duh.
