#templestay
South Korea's templestay programmes are a must-do when visiting the country. I stayed at Baekyangsa last night, and my goodness, was it beautiful.

lol i am very sorry to report that Koreans never saw a dish they didn't want to hide secret meat in BUT there's been a boom of interest in temple food (which is veg) and there are a lot of templestay programs with temple food
From a food perspective, I'm vegetarian - is this going to be a problem?

Are there particular kinds of food, or regions, I should stick to?

Templestay - interesting! Is that a religious experience thing or can you just use it as a hostel?

Woljeongsa has a very active "TempleStay" program, an easy way for the curious to visit and explore, including other temples in Korea.

No personal experience with a templestay, but had a funny encounter at a temple. We honeymooned in Korea and started out in Jeju. We went to a temple and my husband said: "no offense, I'd like to be able to talk to someone other than you." 5 minutes later, someone from the temple came up to us...

Sekisho-in temple lodging was comfortable, with a toilet (heated seat!) and bathroom in each room. Our white breath floated in the corridors but our well-heated rooms apparently helped us all sleep quickly & deeply until breakfast. #TempleStay #JapanTravel #Wakayama

..."excuse me, sir, you look like the actor from The Pianist". It really made my husband's day, and we got to ask about the templestay. You have to wake up early and help around the temple. At that particular temple, at least, you get to ring the bell at sunset.

The temptation is extremely strong right now to depart from my existing life & go spend several weeks at a Korean templestay. I am absolutely sick of my own mind at the moment. Maybe 108 prostrations a day would sort it out.

(Yes I've done it before. Yes I'm currently writing about this experience)
