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

Hydrangea Bushes
I think the visitors at some of the Japanese Shrines were more interested in the flowers than in the shrines themselves. There were tons of huge SERIOUS cameras and tripods out and about being used to catch this particular bush. My little camera can hardly do justice to their beauty. 🙂
Dragon Gate
This Dragon helps hold up and ward the gates to the Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. Isn’t he darling!
Summer Gourds
There were some beautiful gardens at the Wolmi Island park in Korea 🙂
Japanese Homestead
Sorry for the quality, it was raining as you can see from the photo. But this was the beautiful view outside one of the windows at the Tokyo National Museum. Gorgeous!

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.
