| Abstract | The author and her husband paid their eighth visit to South Korea in 2007. They would like to return many more times, but are not getting any younger and the day is inevitably approaching when they will have to put away their maps and leaflets and rely on wonderful memories and their photographs and video films. Starting in 1999 they have spent a total of twenty-four weeks exploring different regions of the country, with a particular interest in seeking out Buddhist temples. Last year they went back to four places already somewhat familiar to them: Seoul, Seoraksan, Gyeongju and Busan. On this occasion they visited thirty-nine temples and hermitages, twenty-four for the first time. The following account is not a travelogue but is simply an Englishwoman`s attempt to set down some of the remarkable characteristics of Korean culture which have drawn her and her husband to return over and over again. As on every other visit, there were surprises in store, from a country which has endured numerous setbacks over the centuries but has managed to preserve strong links with its past and to come up smiling. |
