Straw shoes made by hand, like the way they were used to use long time ago.

A normal day around the city of Seoul, is turned into a succession of events.. interesting and funny. The daily goal was the visiting of the royal palace, but on the way something caught my attention. Before there was a stand where you could wear for free the typical clothes of Korean Emperor.. Ok, very touristic, but it was free, so why no?

The South Korea is a country very developed and modern, especially when compared to all the countries of Indochina. The problem of this nation (as far as I know) is perhaps a mentality a bit too closed. Foreigners are not always seen very well... It makes you think the fact that many banks do not accept foreign credit cards, and sometimes even for payments on the Internet is problematic.

This is a monk that lives alone in a small cave on top of a mountain ... only a supply of food, some pot and a book.. To reach this place you need 2 and a half hours of walking through the woods and a very steep and endless climb.

This is the meeting between a Buddhist Monk and an old man ... maybe a friend, in a temple on the mountains of this beautiful Natural Park. I was captured by his contagious smile and serenity.

Few kids that are enjoy playing and dancing on the fountain in the main square in front of the Royal Palace in Seoul.
