Well today was kind of a let down pictures wise but we went to a couple spots that were top on my list. We started at the Olympic training center and then moved into the park. Alot of the places we went today were not ideal for photography due to lighting, location, and some places had signs that said no pictures. Well fighting against all the odds I am here to take pictures, so I did. I took a little over four hundred pictures today. One of the most interesting spots today were the Buddhist temple grounds we went to today. We walked into one of the temples during a "session" when the monk was reading/singing and the people were bowing and stuff. During this session as a lady began walking down the aisle with a pot of rice towards me. I stood there until she got to me and she pushed me out of the way and kept walking. She went to table behind me and put it down next to a statue Buddha. Everyone in the temple then turned and started bowing directly at me. I didn't know what to so i stood there and took pictures haha. It was very awkward to be the only one not bowing and everyone looking at me but I got some good pictures. During this I did get some ugly looks, I had an American couple who were tourist standing near me and we just kinda laughed at the whole situation. Although the pictures were not the greatest, I was able to go to some key points in my book, regardless of the pictures. Tommorrow is busy and Monday we are headed to the DMZ so keep me in your prayers, I have not forgotten about you Gvegas!!!
