Yes, I guess a family that is "closed" on Sunday to attend church to worship God would be a family that is "close on Sunday". Speaking of family, I finally posted photos of my trip home to BC at http://andyincanada.blogspot.com

This monk boinking a hollow wooden thing in which they believe they are putting the universe "in balance" (while begging for money, of course...) What you do not see in this picture is me approaching him and after a bit of chatting, handing him a gospel tract, him taking the document and attempting, like a wild dog it seemed, to rip the paper with his teeth. (not successful...so he threw in the garbage can instead) and his loud shouts of "Go to hell!!!" which indicated that he must have left his "state of Nirvana". Unfortunately, due to his misguided belief in reincarnation, there's always a chance in the next life, right? Sad indeed.

The "offensive hate literature" that set the above pictured mad-monk ablaze and caused him to "set his balanced universe off course" in its entirety for your viewing pleasure and consideration.

Literary use of the term "highway robbery"...Robbery is getting to be so common these days that they have posted such signs around ATM machines warning, "Beware of 2 people riding on motorcyles!" Quite a world we live in!

Instead of just a sign that says "Keep to the Right!", Korean subways have these "bright footprints" with smiley faces that read "Jwa Chok Tong Hang"-"Keep to the Right!" Cute!

Cultural masks found on the walls of "Yak-Su" Subway Station in Seoul. Reminds me of the city of Andong which is famous for mask-dancing. To see this and other aspects of life in Andong for Korean Christians check out this interesting video (English subtitles!) at http://manmintv.org/media_data/english/program/homestay/homestay_001_300k.asx Thanks for the link, Victor!
