hey all,

i know there's a few christians who post here quite frequently.

of course, i'm about as christian as a mollusk, but this guy seems cool so i said i'd help.

Yup yup. There is one in Gangwon-do. It's a retreat but I can't remember the name. I do, however, know the person who runs it. If you want, I can email that person and ask for information etc.

Also, just a little North of Seoul, there is a Monestry for the Fransisken (sp.) brothers. I, again, know a brother who resides there. I can ask for info for you there as well.

Just PM me and let me know what you are looking for.

Cheers.

Yeoido Church (the largest in the world) has a place called Prayer Mountain. I think this might be what your friend is looking for. There's a free shuttle bus every day from the church in Yeoido. It's about an hour out of Seoul. Check out this website -

Look under 'Prayer Mountain'.
