Clay roofing tiles display messages from travelers, backpackers and flashpackers visiting a shrine in South Korea.

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.
