This is a picture of one of those old Asian-style gazeboes. It is hard to see, but there are many old people hanging out in it. For some reason elder Koreans seem to flock to anything with a roof over it. This thing, or even bridges. They spend most of their time playing this weird checkers-type game and drinking.
These are some famous Korean lawyer dudes that were from Jeonju. It was in the park by the university. They look like some serious fellas. I am glad I didn't meet them (note the cane the middle one is holding [hint: he wasn't crippled])
This is the entrance into the park/pond where the lotus blossoms grow.
This is at the performing arts center again. My previous work at a golf course has taught me to appreciate a good landscaping job. Notice the brick walls with grass in between, very nice!
There is a huge area where lotus blossoms grow. This is a close-up of the best one I could find. I was told that I went a little late to see the blossoms, but there are still a few left. They only last for a couple weeks a year. What a waste in my opinion!
Here is a panoramic view of those lotus blossoms. There are thousands of them. They grow directly out of a pond. I guess they need a lot of water?
Another weird Korean building so I wanted to take a picture. I am finding that there are a lot of these here, so I many not take so many pictures of them in the future as they are not very rare.
