... and sometimes it's not.

I was walking with my school teachers yesterday and we passed a temple with lots of lanterns strung up. They all said �ұ�. With my limited vocabulary, I figured that that meant lantern, cause bul = fire. I asked them and they said no, it meant Buddhist. I was surprised cause I just assumed 'bul' with 'gyu' written on a lantern must have meant lantern. It had made perfect sense. I was wrong though.

I don't know if there is a point in this, but I got nothing to do anyways Smile
