IMG 6827 Photo Of The Day Roof Tile Messages

Messages left by travelers and pilgrims are written in many languages on roofing tiles at a shrine in South Korea.

While exploring the grotto of Seokguram in the mountains of Gyeongju, South Korea, we came across stacks of these roofing tiles.  There were hundreds of these tiles, seemingly from everywhere.  Quotes, comments and wishes of peace and happiness have all been left by flashpackers, backpackers, travelers and pilgrims in many different languages.

    Thanks Nedra! Yeah, it was an unexpected sight stumbling along all of those tiles in a language I could actually read. The messages were great as well!

    The floor tiles gives an outstanding look to the home. The floor tiles have a number of designs and all the designs are unique.
