Bongwonsa Temple
My spirit was at so much joy and at peace in this place. Such special, magical and majestic place.

Well, just never go to McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, and other US fast food chains! Who wants those when you can have the best Asian cuisines in Seoul! (I am not anti-American, just…
