You living my dream bro. I love visiting ancient places.

[@endlessjourneytravels]

Me as well. We don’t build stuff as beautiful as this anymore and it’s a shame. I also love the history behind it. I just wish I had the money to travel around and see everything I wanted to see. I’m running out of time since I’m getting older everyday. lol.

In Hiroshima, there is a memorial for all the Koreans who died in the atomic bombing of the city. The names are on a column on the back of a turtle. Myths in Korea describe the turtle as an auspicious sign, often carrying messages from gods. Temples of Buddhist and Taoist religions also cultivate turtles with the purpose of protecting visitors and nearby residents.

That explain that. We saw them at a few other temple also. We missed the memorial for the Koreans when we went to Hiroshima. Maybe we saw it but didn’t realize what it was.
