Buddha's Birthday

Today in Korea is a holiday in honor of Buddha's birthday.  We went to Jogyesa Temple to take in some of the festivities.  It was crazy crowded and we couldn't get close enough to see much of the action.  We believe the President of South Korea was there in the mix and saw LOTS of secret service type agents and lots of media coverage.  The crowd was intense.  I got shoved around a lot, mostly by little old Korean women who were 6 inches shorter than me.  Do NOT stand between devout Buddist women and their temple.
