I like this picture of Seoul; it almost looks like something out of the really old-fashioned cameras. 🙂

Prayer Notes
You can see these scattered across the streets of Japan and Korea; I found them kind of comforting 🙂

Lucky Cat! The kids love these 🙂 I have to admit, they are pretty precious.

Yonggungsa Temple
Photo of Yonggungsa Temple in Busan, South Korea. This is one of the few Buddhist temples built along the coastline as opposed to more land-based mountainous areas.
On Guard
We found these dangerous looking dudes in Tokyo’s National Museum (an amazing place to visit!). There was one for each Chinese sign, and mine was the one of the far right I think. 🙂
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace, a beautiful complex of dozens of palaces, buildings, and museums. You can literally spend an entire day exploring just this. If you don’t have an entire day, definitely pre-choose where you are going to go.
The Ringing Bell
This is one of the bells at Japan’s Kamakura Shrines. It sits at the top of a mountain, and originally was run to denote important news/times. Now, they still ring them on News Years Eve if I understand correctly. They are beautiful works of art!
Further good news: I climbed a butt-load of stairs to see this bell, and I was delighted to find out that it also gave me a great view of the area. Plus, I know I lost some weight. 🙂
