It is always good to have someone like the family member of friends living in such are like Ansimsa temple. It is a historical place and in beautiful condition. I am impressed with your friend who after retirement decided to learn how to build in old Korean traditional style buildings. It is interesting that no matter where we live we all seems to lose our childhood friends but luckily you met him again and keep the contact. The architecture is impressive but also the place where it is situated looks like a time travel because there is nothing modern.
