IMAGES FROM KJN JOHN'S TRIP TO KOREA IN 2005
On this page you will find photos from KJN (then PSBN) John's trip to Korea in 2005. During this trip, he took part in the World Championships, travelled all over the country and spent time in a Buddhist temple. Korea is a fascinating country, which although quite modern, still retains a lot of the old oriental traditions. Walk into a shop, for example, and you will be met with a bow and the greeting, " Ahn Nyong Has Seyo?" Which literally means, are you in peace. Most Koreans speak little, if any English, so you have to really make an effort to learn some of the language if you are to enjoy the experience to the full. This is not helped by the fact that most signs etc. use "Hanghul", the Korean alphabet, rather than English style letters. They do, however tend to use English words, but written in Korean when there is no traditional Korean word for that item. This can cause confusion! On one occasion for example, KJN John spent 5 minutes trying to work out what was on a menu at a service station, only to realise that it actually said, "Chicken Burger"! The World Championships were very well attended and the competition was hard. Although John didn''t win any medals this time, he felt that he performed well. The Third Dahn category was open to all ages, so maybe at 50, he was feeling his age competing against all the 20 year olds! The UK team as a whole did very well however, and came in 5th position out of around 40 teams. The trip was interspersed with a number a banquettes at which delidious food was served and the group was entertained by , drummers, an electronic jazz band, Korea''s top Diva and a leading Boy Band!
