Off-road meeting in Rayong

A meeting of off-road enthusiasts was held at the beach near the airport of Rayong. On my bike and down to road i followed the off-roaders to the gathering.

The atmosphere was amazing relaxed. Dozens of off-road vehicles were displayed, from modern equipped to old-timers or military style Jeeps. To my surprise i found lots of Land Rover Defender and Series gathering here too. I got even the chance to sit in one at the beach for a photo.

But of course, it’s not only for show proudly their vehicles and play with them at the beach, but also to have a good time together, listen to the live bands, chatting about off-road stuff and, of course, having a good meal together.

I had a great time with those friendly people and enjoyed a lot. But see yourself…

South Korea’s `most beautiful temple`!

In Busan outskirt lies the most beautiful Buddhist temple of South Korea, as they stated themself : Haedong Yonggungsa.

At the edge of a rocky coast line lies this big temple complex. Many corners and niches in buildings but also between rocks with statues and holy shrines. Worshippers come to pray, to be thankfully for success or begging for a good luck in a healthy and wealthy future. But also non-believers get stunned by its beauty and the rich cultural heritage it hosts. And then there is still the undeniable hunger for good signs, which makes us humans too. So, i was too tempted to try my luck by throwing a lucky coin into a several meters away stone bowl. And hit it at my second attempt. The future will show…

Busan, The South Of South Korea

Just when i arrived Busan i bought a bus ticket to the popular Haeunde Beach with it’s famous beach train. I didn’t take a ride in one of these colorful capsules, but took a walk along the train route.

Later on i took a streched beach walk among many other weekend visitors on the beach. Just to collect some more impressions from the beach life.

Hanbok – South Korea’s Traditional Dresses

Did you noticed the beautiful traditional dresses in my last post? Well, these dresses called Hanbok and are popular for photo shoots at Gyeongbokgung Palace. At the nearby streets they rent it out and offer even make-up and hairstyling services for that occasion.

Friends, couples and families walking dressed up trough the old palace. They’re all in good mood and the scenery feels like a happy, sunny day in the 18th century.

Seoul: The Deoksugung Palace

Midst in the city of Seoul is the Deoksugung Palace.

I was lucky to be there early morning with almost no other tourists. Under the cold blue sky lies this gem with its beautifully restored buildings surrounded from the big city. This palace was in use until the begin of 20th century and some building shows a mix of western and traditional architectures. Also were some rooms fitted with electricity.

I witnessed by coincidence a guard changing ceremony at the main gate. Quite a spectacle.

Taiwan/Tamsui: Rainy Day With Friends

There was one more chance to meet my friends in Taiwan. Despite the rain we decided to go for a walk in the historical area of Tamsui.

Among other historical buildings there was the massive Hobe Fort, Fort Santo Domingo and the former British Consulate Residency. And of course there was time for a coffee and having lunch together. Always a good time to chat and learn more about the life in Taiwan.
