This soup smells like wet socks?
I tried 청국장 for my very first time. 청국장 (Cheonggukjang) is a thick soup that's made from soybeans that have been fermented, and fermented soybeans smell a bit like wet socks. Actually, the closest thing to 청국장 is a regular soup called 된장찌개, but 청국장 has a stronger flavor as it's more condensed. If you've tried 된장찌개 before, just imagine that the flavor is much stronger and you have 청국장.
Personally I'm not a big fan of it, but it was good enough to eat and I'd be fine having it again.

Unbuam Hermitage – 운부암 (Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do)
Unbuam Hermitage is one of several hermitages located on the sprawling Eunhaesa Temple grounds in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. According to a hermitage legend, Unbuam Hermitage was first founded in 711 A.D. by the famed monk Uisang-daesa (625-702 A.D.). However, there are two reasons to question this legend. First, Uisang-daesa died in 702 A.D.; and secondly, Eunhaesa Temple wasn’t constructed until 809 A.D. As for the name of the hermitage, it was called Unbuam Hermitage because the monk Seoun was floating above the location of the future hermitage. After the hermitage’s founding, very little is known about its history. However, we do know that the hermitage was destroyed by fire in 1860. Unbuam Hermitage was later rebuilt, at least in part, in 1900.
Unbuam Hermitage is home to one Korean Treasure. It’s the Gilt-Bronze Seated Bodhisattva at Unbuam Hermitage of Eunhaesa Temple, which is Korean Treasure #514.
Hermitage LayoutWhen you first arrive at the hermitage grounds, you’ll notice two large artificial ponds situated out in front of the main hermitage grounds. While the one to the right is rather non-descript, the pond to the left has a large, stone statue of the Bodhidharma standing in the centre of the artificial pond.
Between both of the ponds, you’ll find an unpainted Iljumun Gate. Up a set of uneven stone stairs, you’ll see the large Bohwa-ru Pavilion in front of you. The Bohwa-ru Pavilion dates back to 1900. This gate helps shield people from seeing directly into the hermitage grounds. You’ll need to pass under the Bohwa-ru Pavilion, and up a set of stairs, to finally be standing in the centre of the hermitage’s main courtyard.
Right away, you’ll notice that the main hall is book-ended on either side by two longer buildings. The building to the left is the administrative office and kitchen, while the long unpainted building to your right is the Yosachae (monks’ dorms). And standing all alone in the middle of the hermitage courtyard is an older diminutive three-story stone pagoda.
Past the smaller sized pagoda, you’ll see the rather stout Wontong-jeon Hall straight ahead of you. The exterior walls to the main hall are adorned with fading murals. If you look closely enough up at the eaves, you’ll notice some of the fading floral patterns that were once a bit more vibrant. As for the Wontong-jeon Hall, and stepping inside the main hall, you’ll find a solitary statue resting inside a glass enclosure. This is a statue of Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion), and this statue is officially known as the Gilt-Bronze Seated Bodhisattva at Unbuam Hermitage of Eunhaesa Temple. The statue of Gwanseeum-bosal stands 1.02 metres in height, and it wears a wonderfully ornate crown with a flame pattern, flowers, and birds of paradise adorning it. The statue has an oval face with slight eyes. Based upon the style of the statue, it’s believed to date back to the early Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), while still retaining some of the local characteristics of statues like this from the late Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) in Gyeongsangbuk-do. This statue is Korean Treasure #514. As for the rest of the interior of the Wontong-jeon Hall, you’ll find a Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural) and Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife) mural hanging on the far right wall.
To the left rear of the Wontong-jeon Hall, you’ll find a brand new Samseong-gak Hall. This shaman shrine hall, which will become apparent soon, is highly original in a few ways. First, there are three rooms housed inside the Samseong-gak Hall. But instead of being divided into rooms dedicate to various shaman deities, this shaman shrine hall has rooms to the left and right of the central hall which allows people to pray all alone. As for the central room inside the Samseong-gak Hall, you’ll find three paintings housed inside it. Typically, the Chilseong (The Seven Stars) painting hangs in the centre of the triad; but inside this hall, you’ll find the Chilseong painting hanging on the left wall, while the painting dedicated to Dokseong (The Lonely Saint) hangs on the right wall. And taking centre stage inside the Samseong-gak Hall is one of the most original modern paintings dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) in Korea. Sitting front and centre in the mural is a seated image of Sanshin. And he’s joined by a tiger in the painting, but there’s more. Also taking up residence in the painting, and starting in the back row, appears an image of Uisang-daesa (625-702 A.D.) to the left of Wonhyo-daesa (617-686 A.D.). As for the front row, and in the centre, appears an image of Gyeongheo-seonsa (1849-1912). And he’s joined on either side by Seongcheol-seonsa (1912-1993) and Jinje-seonsa (1934).
To the rear of the Wontong-jeon Hall, and to the right and past the vegetable garden at Unbuam Hermitage, you’ll find what looks to be an abandoned building over a bit of a ridge. Without a signboard indicating what it might be, you’ll find a beautiful modern painting of a more traditional image of Sanshin and his tiger.
How To Get ThereTo get to Unbuam Hermitage, you’ll first need to get to Eunhaesa Temple, which is where the hermitage is located. You can catch a bus to Eunhaesa Temple from the Yeongcheon Intercity Bus Terminal. These buses leave the terminal eight times a day. The bus ride will take about 45 minutes. From Eunhaesa Temple, you’ll need to continue to walk west of the temple, and to the north, towards Unbuam Hermitage. The walk takes about 4 km, or around 1 hour and fifteen minutes.
Overall Rating: 5.5/10Unbuam Hermitage is packed with originality. And front and centre is the modern Sanshin painting housed inside the Samseong-gak Hall. It’s unclear what the intentions of the artist was, but Sanshin is joined by five of the most prominent luminaries in Korean Buddhism. Adding to this painting is the Bodhidharma statue in the entry pond, the splendid Bohwa-ru Pavilion at the entry of the hermitage courtyard, and the ornately crowned Gilt-Bronze Seated Bodhisattva at Unbuam Hermitage of Eunhaesa Temple inside the Wontong-jeon Hall. In a way, the hermitages at Eunhaesa Temple are more special than the main temple itself.
The beautiful grounds at Unbuam Hermitage. The Bodhidharma stone statue and pond out in front of the hermitage courtyard. The entry gate leading up to the main hermitage courtyard. The stairs leading up to the Bohwa-ru Pavilion. The Bohwa-ru Pavilion and a pair of cherry blossom trees in bloom. A look up at the Wontong-jeon Hall from the Bohwa-ruy Pavilion.

KakaoTalk_20230526_133108404.jpgpre-loved books exchange, anyone?
hi~
I'm looking for someone who would like to exchange (trade?) books with me. Someone who loves to read but knows it to be a costly hobby when searching for English editions -.- Or who, amidst decluttering, discovered some paperbacks that they've already finished but feel hesitant to bid farewell to.
All books are in a very good condition. Subject-wise, I'd like to move away from political economy or history and dive into something in the line of my most recent reads:
- Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
- Isaac Asimov, Foundation (the OG trilogy)
- Won-pyung Sohn, Almond
- Haruki Murakami, First Person Singular
(If I were to go as far as to have a wish-list, then it'll include:
- H.Murakami, Absolutely on Music
- Linda Sue Park, When My Name Was Keoko
- Ocean Vuong's poetry book(s)
This is by no means a pre-condition for the exchange! I just wanted to give an approximate idea of what genre of pre-loved books I am looking for.
p.s.: sorry for a long post *inserts pics of a potato*

Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri – 홍천 괘석리 사사자 삼층석탑 (Hongcheon, Gangwon-do)
The Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri is currently located out in front of the county office in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do. The pagoda was moved to this new location in 1969. Formerly, it was housed at a temple site in Gwaeseok-ri, Duchon-myeon, Gangwon-do. However, the former temple site is now used as a farmer’s field. In addition to the Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri, the temple site had a few roof tile shards strewn throughout its grounds.
The Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri was declared Korean Treasure #540 in July, 1971.
Pagoda DesignThe Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri is located to the south of the county office and the neighbouring Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Huimang-ri, which is Korean Treasure #79. The Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri has three stories, which is mounted on a two-tier base that consists of four seated stone lions. In total, the pagoda stands 3.5 metres in height. The pagoda’s design is reminiscent of the Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda of Hwaeomsa Temple, but it’s less refined and smaller in size.
The Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri has four sides to its base that are sculpted with floral designs. Each of the four stone lions occupies one of the four corners of the pagoda. Collectively, these stone lions support a wide stone slab above their heads. A lotus pedestal is visible on the stone slab above the four lions. And in the middle of the stone slab on which they are seated, a Buddha image used to appear, but it’s now missing. Interestingly, the tails of the lions are shaped like hearts. The roof stones are separated from the rest of the pagoda, and it has a three-tier edged base. The roof stones are rather plain and thin. And the four tips of the roof are slightly turned upwards at the end. There are holes at the end where wind chimes used to hang. The finial is missing from the pagoda with only the dew basin still remaining. In addition to most of the missing finial, parts of the second and third story stones have broken away, but the pagoda still retains its overall original appearance. As a whole, and based upon its design, it’s strongly believed that the Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri dates back to the mid-Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392); however, its overall design is heavily influenced by Unified Silla (668-935 A.D.).
How To Get ThereFrom the Hongcheon Intercity Bus Terminal, you can simply walk to get to the Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri. You can head east from the bus terminal along Hongcheon-ro Street and past the rotary. Head east along this street for about 800 metres until you come to Majigi-ro Street. Head north along this street for about 600 metres. Head east, once more, along Hwaemang-ro Street for an additional 150 metres. To the north, and as you walk, you’ll see the county office for Hongcheon. The Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri is to the south of this county office and to the west of its parking lot. In total, the hike is about 1.3 km, or 20 minutes in duration.
If walking isn’t your thing, or it’s already been a long day, a taxi ride from the Hongcheon Intercity Bus Terminal to Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri is about a 5 minute ride that will cost you 4,000 won.
Overall Rating: 3/10On its own, the The Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri is a beautiful example of the lion-based design found in the design of some of Korea’s most famous pagodas. While slightly damaged, the pagoda retains its overall beautiful aesthetic. In addition to this beautiful Korean Treasure, you can find yet another Korean Treasure, the Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Huimang-ri, in front of the county office at Hongcheon. And paired together, the two pagodas can make for a nice little trip to the centre of Hongcheon, Gangwon-do to visit one of the lesser known lion-based pagodas in Korea.

The pagoda from a different angle with damage evident to the top two stories of the stone structure. The four lions from a different angle. And the body of the pagoda up-close.

And the Four Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Gwaeseok-ri and the Three-Story Stone Pagoda in Huimang-ri both out in front of the county office in Hongcheon.—Dale's Korean Temple Adventures YouTube
