CAMP HUMPHREYS — For getting a close look at Korea, few opportunities top cultural tours.
Sponsored by the United States Army Garrison Humphreys Public Affairs Office, these tours go to cultural and historic landmarks.
The most recent tour was to Sudosa temple. One participant on this tour, Humphreys family member Sharee Green-Hubbard, said it gave her a better understanding of Buddhism.
Sudosa was built in 852 A.D. by the monk Yeomgeo. Then, according to legend, the monk Wonhyo was en route to China when he stopped overnight at Sudosa. He felt parched and drank water using a dipper. It relieved his thirst and the taste pleased him. The next day, he realized the dipper was a skull. According to the traditional story, he then realized everything is defined by the mind.
The tour of Sudosa temple is an example of the advantage of being in Korea, according to participant Amy Parlo.
“I believe opportunities such as this provide an excellent chance for Americans to experience aspects of Korean culture that we may not otherwise be exposed to,” she said. “All of the tours that I’ve attended have provided me with a better understanding of Korean history, its culture and its people. They have all been positive learning experiences.”
Visitors took part in a Buddhist mass and made bean curd, tea and lanterns.
“I really enjoyed being able to see the Buddhist culture firsthand during the ceremony,” said participant Justine Beeson, a Humphreys family member. “It was interesting to learn about their religion and foods.”
Green-Hubbard said her favorite part was making lanterns.
“My children enjoyed the hands on activity,” she said.
“I enjoyed nearly every aspect of this tour,” Parlo added. “It was very moving to participate in the chant ceremony in the temple. I also particularly liked the bean paste sandwiches. The food we prepared was some of the best I’ve had in Korea.”
At the end of the tour, participants received photos and a cookbook written by the monks.
“I would say that these tours offer me a more in depth experience of authentic Korean culture,” Parlo said. “I’m so grateful for the hospitality of the Korean nationals in sharing with us the various aspects of their lives and culture.”
The next Camp Humphreys Cultural tour, scheduled for May 26, will feature stops at the Chong Dojeon shrine, Utdari Cultural Village and Jinwi Vegetable Village. To register, call 754-6130.

His wife is shy. From her look and jewelery I guessed, she was newly wed. I asked her if she could give me a pose. She only gave me weird look and wrapped her face tightly. But her man was very eager for a snap. She was not happy for that either.

Shot it at Gangasagar fair,Gangasagar Mela is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal. This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. The river Ganga which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains at Haridwar, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites such as Benares and Prayag, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. Sagar Island, at the mouth of the river Hooghly in Bengal where the Ganga breaks up into hundreds of streams, and drains into the sea, is honored as a pilgrimage site.
A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga drains into the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius and this town becomes home to vast fairs, drawing visitors and recluses from all over the state. There is a common belief among the locals that the girls who take the holy dip get handsome grooms and the boys get beautiful brides. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect.
