Buddhist temple in Changwon



Today our hotel manager offered to take us to the nearby buddhist temple..As, we didn't really have anythinig to do today, myself and Eduardo readily agreed. Ravi and Jerry opted to stay in the room. We set out in the hotel van and reached the temple in 30 min. The temple was apparently constructed in around 800 AD but was later destroyed during japanese invasion and had been rebuilt during the 16th century. It was simple in construction, basically of wood, and had three halls of worship...All of them had numerous idols of buddha in deep meditation. After spending half an hour or so, we headed back home. On our way back, our manager stopped at a local Korean noodle place. It was more or less like an indian road side dhabha, and i should say i was kind of uneasy about eating in the place...especially because of the reputation of Korean eateries that consider shrimp and fish as vegetables..Thankfully, the noodle soup didn't have any sign of meat or fish in it..and although i would've preferred it piping hot, it was not too bad. Finally capped of my day and the weekend by watching Formula One British Grand Prix (nice to see Montoya win this one) and eating a pint of Baskin Robbins ice cream!!!!
