I've heard they are fortune tellers and I think someone did an exorcism
across the alley. They banged drums for about 8 hours.

Oh Swiss, how difficult it must be to have to go through life while bitter. The Koreans and I really like each each other, I'll be here for a long time. Its so much calmer here than the US and with the economy sagging in the US while Asia's economy grows, its just seems like there more a future on this side of the pond. Its so wonderful here, low crime plenty of business well behaved children. I especially enjoy the Bhuddist culture. I find the art so facsinating especailly the signs over the small Bhuddist places.

I'll think you'll find it was a shamanistic ritual ceremony to excorse the demons..

i read a very detailed study and they found these ceremonies in the long-term made absolutely no difference at all to a persons mental state or health

I really was just messing about though, I don't agree with a lot of your views- but I do like the way you argue them.

Yea, thats what heard too. These shamans are removed from temple life, there is almost no go between so when you learn about Korean Bhuddism, you won't learn about these places.
