Day 6

During the night Lorne and Kevin manage to lock themselves out of their own bathroom.
We travel further south towards Pusan. We stop to visit
Bulguksa Temple, one of the oldest surviving Buddhist monasteries in Korea, originally built between 514-539 and beautifully restored,
also the Sokkuram Grotto, and where there is a large Buddha carved into the Granite, we could not take pictures of this as it not allowed. The historical significance of these sites was recognized when they were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1975.
We visit Master Hong's Grand Master, Master Oh at his Sports Complex. We are greeted ceremoniously & treated with great kindness & courtesy.
The Korean people have always been warm and friendly towards us. We walk along the beach to look at the night markets, where you can buy live sea cucumbers & silkworm larvae.
