Hiking with MyungKyo and Shin Dragon

Andrew's principal gave his school an extra day off during the Chuseok holiday, so while Judy was at work, Andrew went on a hike with two teachers from his school. The hike began at a female monastery and ended at a Buddhist temple up in the Korean hills.



MyungKyo and Shin Dragon

MyungKyo is Andrew's co-teacher and he
carpools with Shin, the music teacher.



Shin and MyungKyo headed into a temple to bow 108
times in order to cleanse their families of sin.

When a monk saw Andrew looking around, she sat down at the piano
and began playing "Yesterday" by the Beatles.
It was awesome!

MyungKyo asked if she could take a picture of
Andrew in front of the restroom in the parking lot...

How could he refuse such a request?

Make a wish and stack a stone

The building you see is actually the cafeteria.
Koreans don't do much without eating.
