Photos from Korea
사진을 한국에서

The name 'Korea' derives from the ancient kingdom of Goguryeo. In the Korean language, Korea is referred to as Han-guk (한국). Korean is written in the hangul script, a phonemic alphabet organised into syllabic blocks, which was invented in the 15th century. The country is rich in beautiful buddhist temples like Bulguksa and Tongdosa and boasts some superb scenery like in the Seoraksan Nat. Park.
