Buddha’s Birthday is coming up (Auguts 21, 2010). There was a parade in Seoul this weekend but we didn’t go – too many people + confined toddler = madness, and probably a shortened lifespan of PapaFish and I.
Nonetheless, the town is decorated with colorful lanterns for the occasion. Lanterns have decorated the walkways near a local temple and park for the last two weeks.
The temple is quite large, and has a short bell tower in front of it.
Yesterday, a truckload of lanterns was delivered to the temple, and they were all hung up in a huge bunch in front. 
I really like this temple because it is quite a graceful, lovely building surrounded by huge grey concrete and glass rectangular structures. It’s nice to see something so lovely in the middle of such a huge metropolis.
