> [@Guga](#): > > That’s why I never liked art history back in high school 😛 Yeah, but that´s what I always say. While producing art is really hard, understanding art is actually really easy it´s just that some snobbish people had to make a science out of it. 😛 ---

Okay, here a couple of impressions from Korea and Taiwan (to shorten the wait for Santa to drop some presents) Jumunjin Beach (I like the sea, but at 0°C it was a bit on the cold side) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/c/c19c7a3782b4cfbaf2b2172ce3a4f87b7ef634b6.jpeg) Woljeongsa Buddhist Temple (with actual monks, not depicted) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/9/9be844602fbabf6b517a1a2f82aafe5b4081bc9d.jpeg) Details from the ceiling ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/3/3733f0e4115f19324257f0457413de27f77ff5c4.jpeg) Lake Park in Ilsan (with typical Korean appartment buildings in the background; very close to where we stayed in Korea) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/b/bc5e58986a141b40d64c716d0bb460696c3c9838.jpeg) Film set from Aardman Animation exhibition in Seoul (not Italian, this time) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/5/507a256011c6c81c23f8c975109f7ca35b991e71.jpeg) Taipei has more motor scooters then all of Italy combined ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/1/186302ff07d986c41ce37d8d2f3eb72ab93cfa21.jpeg) Pedestrian zone near Ximen subway station (not far from our hotel) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/9/9856a0b318873a7af3c74fe5feba09c2dda3c18e.jpeg) Train station in Xinbeitou ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/c/cbd777e5b80c4a3efabf0925f1688f30ded6ee5e.jpeg) Taiwanese appartment buildings (like that wild style) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/6/6c246ff4b572ee4a62a744fef3cede01bb1208ff.jpeg) Xinbeitou hot spring (unfortunately, we didn’t have time to take a bath) ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/4/47c0a587efcbf153e0855ba29102fec588b8bb7e.jpeg) The aforementioned Lin Family Mansion and Garden ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/3/337883fbc4ec45b8a9ba2357cab6673519a0a426.jpeg) And another one (but there were so many different courtyards and buildings, it would take a hundred pictures to show it all.

I don’t know. @PiecesOfKate’s trip to Mauritius or her Iceland photo … both places I’d prefer to Korea during winter time. I wouldn’t even call it a draw 🙂. ---

Psst! This is a secret: this picture isn’t so great but the mangos are. They’re fresh and insanely delicious, no fibres, a tiny bit of acid, sweet and so full of flavor. They smell seductive too. Then all the guilty pleasure is between your tasty fingers with the juice dropping down … ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/9/9e3d9995db581df4f3e1d4c0ddceb1ecefec6759.jpeg) ---

Sometimes you encounter interesting forms of life, like a partly green insect with frog like eyes, a bee like back of its body and a gentle nature. ---
