You know, I
love taking the pictures and I don't mind building the webpages, but writing
the text is usually a drag. This time, I'm off the hook. Kerk Philips
has already produced a great

of interest might be KNTO
and Busanhotel.org
. Here is our photo-look at Pusan's most famous temple.

These small statues
(which can be bought at the gift shop) are arranged in a small stone
alcove. Visitors place rocks on and around them. These statues
are said to bring good luck and I have heard that the stones are placed
for making wishes (as well as to prevent te statues being knocked over
by the wind).
