The tallest gaijin couple in Japan (that we know of...we haven't looked very hard) blogs about eating, working and playing. Our combined height is 12 foot 3, we hail from middle America and our new host town's claim to fame is a festival featuring men riding huge logs down a mountain. Oh yeah, takai means tall in Japanese (among other things). It's what we wish they would call us. What they actually call us is ookii (big).

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan
Buddhist temples in Korea seemed different than those in Japan. A bit more raucous maybe. People moved more quickly, brushed up against each other, spoke a little louder. We enjoyed it immensely. There was a lot of scaffolding up though, maybe because of Buddha's birthday next month?
