Palgongsan in Winter, Bobby Down From Seoul

On Saturday I met Bobby at Dongdaegu station at 940 to head up to Palgongsan to see the giant Buddha I had previously visited last summer. It was a world apart

The trees alone give it away. It was freezing but with enough layers it was actually cool to see it like that. It's one of my favourite things to see in Daegu and despite the mission to get there well worth the effort. The Buddha itself is not that old, 1992 as it turns out, and was built as a prayer for Korean unification.

While I'm sure I'll go back again before I leave Daegu, it will be in the spring.

After that we dropped off our stuff and showered, watched Seinfeld and had a beer before going out to Sangin for dinner and drinks. Not an exciting as Japanese stuff in Busan but fun.

Sunday we got up, had sushi and then I headed home and had a relaxing afternoon.
