Odosong – Poems about Enlightenment
One day, I went to Chuncheon (춘천) to the Northeast of Seoul to see Cheongpyeongsa (청평사, pictured above), a buddhist temple originally erected in 973. It is a very tranquil little experience to take the fair to cross the Soyangho (소양호) lake, hike up to the temple and wander around with the scenic, multicolored forest … Continue reading Odosong – Poems about Enlightenment

Ko Un: Beautiful poems I don’t want to read

It all began with North Korea's missile tests, and slowly evolved from just another interesting political topic to a deep urge to understand the two countries as a whole. It went from news articles detailing the newest development of … Continue reading Ko Un: Beautiful poems I don’t want to read
